If that's true, the firing is going to look incredibly stupid.

Heard he was called, possibly had an interview, no details made public by ECU.

RE: Chizik to ECU?
Has Chizik accomplished anything without a bunch of purchased talent?

If he gets hired, it will be for the same reason Lebo was...
An unhealthy fixation on anything light blue.
It will look stupid... like they are marks.

Chizik as HC, Butch Davis as DC and recruiting coordinator. Heard it here first.

You should just hire Monken and call it a day.
This dog and pony show looks like it may bite ECU in the rear end.

RE: Chizik to ECU?
I'd be happy with the Chizik hire, if it happened.
He is a recognized name.
He won a BCS National Championship.
He turned around a TERRIBLE UNC Defense.
He is a great recruiter.
Based on his head coaching career, it is obvious that he needs good coordinators. I have no doubt he could build an impressive staff at ECU, and would be a great, successful hire. He would likely leave for a major P5 job if he's successful at ECU, but that's the nature of the G5 beast.

Most schools, P5 or G5, FCS, NAIA it doesn't matter. If their coach is good and has a lot of success will leave at some point for more money or a bigger job. It's not just the G5 or an ECU problem.
Nick Saban left Michigan St, then he left LSU for goodness sakes. Unc lost Mack Brown to Texas, Chip Kelly left Oregon for the NFL, and so on and so on.
The objective is to get a great coach and get as many years out of him as possible and always be ready to pull the trigger on the next guy that can keep the system rolling.

It's basically Muschamp-to-USCe redux. Only Chizik has been fired twice as HC instead of once.

I thought you were going to go with the "couldn't hack it in the SEC" card.

If we can keep the team intact, there is enough talent for a good coach like Chizik to be successful for a couple of years.
But he wasn't able to sustain the success at Auburn after Tuberville's players graduated. Are you sure he's a good recruiter?
