2010 national champions gene

chizik head coach

In just two seasons at Auburn, head coach Gene Chizik has won a BCS National Championship, an SEC Championship, earned Home Depot and Liberty Mutual National Coach of the Year honors and AP SEC Coach of the Year accolades. Chizik guided Auburn to a 14-0 record, the BCS National Championship, the program’s first title since 1957, and an SEC title during the 2010 season. He owns the second-best mark after 27 games coached in Auburn history with his 22-5 start, and currently owns a 15-game winning streak. Auburn achieved success in 2010 despite a rugged schedule that included 10 games against bowl-eligible teams. In fact, Auburn was the only team in the country that won seven games against teams ranked in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll. Chizik has placed his stamp firmly on the Auburn program, including a “never say quit” attitude that saw Auburn rally from four double-digit deficits to win in 2010, including the largest comeback in school history when the Tigers turned a 24-0 deficit at Alabama into a 28-27 victory. Auburn is 5-2 after trailing by double digits in Chizik’s first two seasons, after going 4-44 over the 14 seasons prior to his arrival in such games. Chizik has also excelled in close games, as the Tigers won seven games in 2010 by single digits, including five games that were decided by just three points or less, which is the most in one season in school history. Auburn has won nine games in his two seasons in which the Tigers trailed or were tied in the fourth quarter. Auburn players have achieved national awards under his guidance, as Cam Newton won the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Player of the Year Award and the Davey O’Brien Award in 2010, while Nick Fairley won the Lombardi Award. Chizik also hired offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, who won the Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach in 2010. Auburn’s success in 2010 started a year earlier, after Chizik inherited a team that had finished 5-7 in 2008 and quickly began rebuilding the program. During his first season as Auburn’s head coach, Chizik led the Tigers to an 8-5 record and a victory over Northwestern in the 2010 Outback Bowl on New Year’s Day. He became the first head coach in school history to lead his team to a bowl game in his first season, just the third coach in Auburn history to win his first five games as head coach and only the third SEC coach since the conference expanded in 1992 to win his first five games. Chizik’s first Auburn squad set numerous team and individual records, including team records for most points and total yards in a season - records that Auburn broke again in 2010. The Tigers had a knack for playing well in big games, winning four games against teams that played in bowl games during the 2009 season. Auburn has not only enjoyed success on the field under Chizik’s tenure, but they have excelled in building for the future as the Tigers had the No. 1 nationally ranked recruiting class in 2011 according to Scout.com and the No. 4 ranked class in 2010 both Rivals.com and ESPN/Scouts Inc. In July 2011, Chizik released his first book, “All In:What It Takes to Be the Best”, which chronicles his coaching career, the pivotal role his faith has played in his life and career, and his secrets to success, both on and off the field. Published by Tyndale House Publishers, David Thomas, a senior writer and columnist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, collaborated on the book with Chizik. All of Chizik’s proceeds from the book have gone to The Chizik Family You Turn Foundation, Inc., which assists children and youth in the Auburn community. The program’s defensive coordinator from 2002-04, Chizik was named Auburn’s 26th head coach on December 13, 2008, after serving the two previous seasons as head coach at Iowa State. A 23year coaching veteran, Chizik helped Auburn and Texas to consecutive undefeated seasons in 2004 and 2005. His three-year stint as Auburn’s defensive coordinator culminated in 2004, when he helped guide the Tigers to a 13-0 season while earning the Frank Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach. Chizik also served as the assistant head coach and co-defensive coordinator at Texas from 2005-06 where he helped the Longhorns to a perfect season and national championship in 2005. During his tenure at Auburn, Chizik’s 2004 defense led the nation in scoring defense (11.3 ppg) and was fifth nationally in total defense, allowing just 277.6 yards per contest. In three years at Auburn, Chizik helped the Tigers to a 30-9 mark including an 18-6 Southeastern Conference record. In 2003, Auburn’s defense was fifth nationally in total defense. In his two seasons in Austin, the Longhorns were 22-3. At one point, he was a part of 29 consecutive victories, which began in 2003 at Auburn and ended in 2006 at Texas. Chizik’s reputation as an outstanding teacher is evident by the fact that he tutored a remarkable three consecutive Thorpe Award winners, starting with Auburn’s Carlos Rogers in 2004, followed by Texas’ Michael Huff and Aaron Ross in 2005 and 2006, respectively.

During his two seasons at Iowa State, the 46-year old Chizik was in the midst of a rebuilding process, directing the Cyclones to a 5-19 mark. The Iowa State administration rewarded Chizik’s leadership and vision for the program by offering him a two-year contract extension following the 2008 season. Chizik’s first win came against intrastate rival Iowa in 2007, making him the first Cyclone coach since 1907 to beat the Hawkeyes in his inaugural season. The 2007 season also included conference wins over Kansas State and bowlbound Colorado. Auburn’s undefeated season of 2004 saw one of the best defensive teams ever to wear a Tigers uniform. Not only did they lead the nation in scoring defense, but they surrendered just four rushing touchdowns all season, including allowing none over the first eight games of the season. That vaunted 2004 defense featured eight of 11 starters that went on to play in the NFL, including 2005 first-round draft pick cornerback Carlos Rogers and defensive lineman Jay Ratliff, who earned All-Pro honors with the Dallas Cowboys in 2008. The 2003 AU defense under Chizik was just as talent laden as the undefeated squad, as eight of 11 starters went on to play in the NFL as well. Led by firstteam All-SEC picks Karlos Dansby, DeMarco McNeil and Dontarious Thomas, Auburn was fifth nationally in total defense, seventh in rushing defense and ninth in the country in scoring defense. By allowing less than 300 yards of total offense in consecutive seasons in 2003 (281.6 ypg) and 2004 (277.6 ypg), it marked the first time at Auburn since a six-year run from 1985-90, that an Auburn defense had accomplished the feat in back-to-back campaigns. In his first season at Auburn, Chizik took a club that was 39th nationally in total defense the season before he arrived and improved it to 26th in the country while holding three Top 10 teams - LSU, Alabama and Penn State - to less than 10 points each en route to victory. During his 39 games at Auburn as defensive coordinator, the Tigers were able to defeat nine Top 10 programs, win three bowl games, and hold 24 of 39 opponents to two touchdowns or less, including 14 that managed single digits against his aggressive, physical defenses. He also tutored three All-Americans in Dansby, Rogers and Junior Rosegreen and had nine players earn 10 first-team All-SEC honors. Chizik had 10 players over three seasons that went on to be NFL draft picks. Chizik’s defense played an integral part in Texas’ 2005 national championship season as the Longhorns ranked eighth nationally in scoring defense, 10th in total defense and fourth in pass efficiency defense. UT allowed opponents to reach 300 yards of total offense only five times in 2005 and held the remaining eight opponents to less than 267 yards. Ten UT defenders were all-Big 12 Conference selections, including four who made the first team. In 2006, Chizik’s Longhorn defenders were second nationally against the rush (58.8 ypg.) after 12 games, including limiting No. 1 Ohio State to just 79 yards on the ground. His aggressive schemes resulted in 100 tackles for loss, 96 quarterback hurries and 30 takeaways during the 2006 regular season. Chizik coached six Longhorns to All-American honors in his two seasons, including Aaron Harris, Michael Huff and Rod Wright in 2005, and Tim Crowder, Michael Griffin and Aaron Ross in 2006. His defensive players earned 18 All-Big 12 awards during his tenure. Prior to his arrival at Auburn, Chizik was the defensive coordinator for four seasons (1998-01) at Central Florida, where he improved a unit that was 81st nationally in total defense before his arrival to one that was 16th in the country in 2001. Chizik spent six seasons at Stephen F. Austin from 1992-97, overseeing the linebackers (1992-94) and secondary (1995-97). While at Stephen F. Austin, Chizik helped the Lumberjacks to back-to-back NCAA Division I-AA playoffs, including a national semifinal appearance in 1995. He began his coaching career as defensive coordinator (1986-88) at Seminole High School in St. Petersburg, Fla., before becoming a graduate assistant at Clemson for a pair of 10-win teams in 1988-89. Chizik’s first full-time college coaching position came at Middle Tennessee State, where he helped lead the Blue Raiders to NCAA Division I-AA playoffs in both of his seasons (1990-91) and to a conference championship in 1990. Chizik earned his B.A. degree in education from Florida in 1985 and his M.A. in guidance and counseling from Clemson in 1991. A Clearwater, Fla., native, Chizik and his wife, Jonna, have identical twin daughters, Landry Grace and Kennedy Danielle, and a son, Cally.

2010 national champions jay

boulware tight ends/special teams coordinator

Jay Boulware is in his third season as special teams coordinator and tight ends coach at Auburn. As special teams coordinator, Boulware coached Tigers’ kicker Wes Byrum to consecutive record-breaking seasons which culminated with a 19-yard field goal as time expired to give Auburn a 22-19 victory over Oregon in the 2011 BCS National Championship Game. Under Boulware’s tutelage, Byrum set an Auburn single-season record for points by a kicker (99) in 2009 and followed that by breaking that record in 2010 with 123 points. Additionally, Byrum set a single-season Auburn record for field goal percentage (93.8), connecting on 15-of-16 field goals, and set a school record for conversions and attempts, going 54-of-54 on PAT’s in his first season under Boulware. Auburn’s kickoff return defense was the third-best and 16th nationally, allowing just 19.7 yards per return in 2010. The Tigers’ punt return defense led the SEC and was ninth in the nation last season, allowing just 4.6 yards per return. The Tigers kickoff return unit was fourth in the SEC and 25th nationally with a 23.5 yard per return average and led the SEC with 1482 return yards. Boulware also guided Demond Washington to an Auburn single-season record for kickoff return average, as Washington’s average of 31.1 yards per return led the SEC and ranked sixth nationally. Washington also set an Auburn single-game record with 202 kickoff return yards on five returns vs. Georgia.

His innovative offense has made an immediate and profound impact during his tenure, highlighted by a record-setting offense in 2010 that included Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton and the school’s first national championship since 1957. For his efforts, Malzahn was named the 2010 Frank Broyles Award winner, which is presented annually to the nation’s top assistant coach at the collegiate level.

thigpen safeties

Tommy Thigpen is in his third season as the safeties coach at Auburn. Despite losing a senior starter (Aairon Savage) midway through the 2010 season, Thigpen developed a unit that was instrumental in Auburn posting the Southeastern Conference’s best, and ninth-best nationally, rushing defense. The Tigers allowed just 109.1 yards rushing per game last season, with safety Zac Etheridge registering 69 tackles, second-most on the team. Etheridge earned All-SEC honorable mention honors. As a group, Thigpen’s safeties combined for 186 tackles, 2.5 tackles-for-loss and three interceptions. In Auburn’s two biggest games of the year, Thigpen directed a unit that helped hold South Carolina to just 17 points in the SEC Championship Game and Oregon to 19 points in the BCS National Championship Game. The Tigers defense held the high-powered Ducks 28 points under their season average and produced a pair of interceptions. During his first season at Auburn, the Tigers ranked 17th in the nation in opponent third down conversion percentage (32.8) and forced 24 turnovers. His safeties helped the Auburn defense rank 31st nationally in pass defense efficiency and pick off 17 passes – tied for third most in the SEC. Thigpen instructed Daren Bates in 2009, who was named to the SEC All-Freshman team after starting all 13 games and ranking fourth on the team with 70 tackles as a true freshman. Thigpen has also earned a reputation as an exceptional recruiter, and was named one of the nation’s top 25 recruiters in 2007 by Rivals.com. Prior to coming to Auburn, Thigpen coached the linebackers at North Carolina for four seasons from 2005-08. A former All-ACC linebacker at North Carolina himself, Thigpen tutored UNC’s leading tacklers in each of his four seasons at Chapel Hill.

Auburn Director of Athletics Jay Jacobs has a vision of leading Auburn Athletics to becoming the nation’s preeminent Athletics Department. In his tenure at the helm of the Tigers’ program, the department has prospered athletically, academically and financially. Under Jacobs’ leadership, Auburn Athletics has made major strides benefitting Auburn student-athletes, coaches and fans. The department has focused on five strategic goals under his leadership: Winning, graduating studentathletes, managing the department’s fiscal affairs, complying with SEC and NCAA rules and providing a positive game day experience. The Auburn Athletics Department has consistently ranked in the top 10 percent of the NACDA Directors Cup and has claimed 10 national championships under Jacobs, including a school-record four titles in 2005-06. The Auburn men’s athletics program finished third nationally in the inaugural Capital One Cup for 2010-2011. In 2010, the football program claimed the BCS National Championship, its first national title since 1957. The Auburn equestrian team also won its second national title in 2011. Under Jacobs’ watch, Auburn’s athletics programs have captured 19 Southeastern Conference titles. Academically, Auburn has earned seven public recognitions by the NCAA for scoring in the 90th-100th percentile nationally in the Academic Progress Rate (APR). Jacobs served as the Senior Associate Athletics Director for Tigers Unlimited prior to his appointment as Director of Athletics and has initiated several successful business ventures for the Athletics Department, including a lucrative contract with Under Armour Performance Apparel, which was extended in 2009, and a nine-year extension with multimedia rights holder ISP Sports. During Jacobs’ tenure, Auburn has also moved forward with numerous facility projects designed to benefit Tiger athletics programs and their fans, most notably, the construction of the state-of-the-art Auburn Arena and basketball practice facility that opened for the 2010-11 season. The most recent facilities upgrade was a $16 million multipurpose 100-yard indoor practice facility. Completed in August 2011, the facility allows Auburn teams to practice indoors during inclement weather. Jacobs was named Auburn’s 14th Director of Athletics on Dec. 22, 2004, after working in almost every area of the Auburn Athletics Department for the previous 20 years. Jacobs earned his undergraduate and master’s degrees in business administration from Auburn in 1985 and 1988, respectively, and was a member of the Auburn football team, earning two letters as an offensive tackle in 1982 and 1983. He is married to the former Angie Sapp of Dublin, Ga. The couple has three daughters, Haley, Meagan and Jayne. They are also foster parents.

2010 national champions war eagle

“War Eagle” Auburn’s battle cry, not Auburn’s nickname. There are several legends concerning the origin of the War Eagle battle cry, dating back to 1864 and the Civil War at the Battle of the Wilderness in Virginia.

Auburn’s Eagles For over 100 years, eagles have been associated with Auburn University’s football program. From a static presence on the sidelines to rousing flights over the field, WAR EAGLE has become an Auburn icon. The role of Auburn University’s eagles is to promote wildlife conservation as a part of the education initiatives of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the College of Veterinary Medicine’s Southeastern Raptor Center. The USF&WS permits the Raptor Center to house eagles and use them on hundreds of educational presentations each year – including Auburn’s home football games. Currently, three flighted eagles and numerous other non-releasable raptors are used for these educational programs. Eagles stir emotions in many people as they have come to symbolize strength, power and courage as well as other important values such as freedom, American heritage and the preservation of our environment. Golden Eagles Tiger (War Eagle VI), Nova (War Eagle VII) and Spirit (a Bald Eagle) are the eagles who have inspired football fans with their graceful flights over Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Auburn Fight Song War...Eagle, fly down the field, Ever to conquer, never to yield. War...Eagle fearless and true. Fight on, you orange and blue. Go! Go! Go! On to vic’try, strike up the band, Give ‘em hell, give ‘em hell. Stand up and yell, Hey! War...Eagle, win for Auburn, Power of Dixie Land!


creed & alma mater Auburn Alma Mater On the rolling plains of Dixie ‘Neath its sun-kissed sky, Proudly stands, our Alma Mater Banners high. To thy name we’ll sing thy praise, From hearts that love so true, And pledge to thee our Loyalty the ages through.

Auburn Creed I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore, I believe in work, hard work. I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely and trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully. I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot win the respect and confidence of my fellow men. I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid, and in clean sports to develop these qualities. I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights of all. I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my fellow men and mutual helpfulness and brings happiness for all. I believe in my Country, because it is a land of freedom and because it is my own home, and that I can best serve that country by “doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with my God.” And because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in Auburn and love it. - George Petrie (1945)

We hail thee, Auburn, and we vow To work for thy just fame, And hold in memory as we do now Thy cherished name. Hear thy student voices swelling, Echoes strong and clear, Adding laurels to thy fame Enshrined so dear. From thy hallowed halls we’ll part, And bid thee sad adieu; Thy sacred trust we’ll bear with us The ages through. We hail thee, Auburn, and we vow To work for thy just fame, And hold in memory as we do now Thy cherished name. Composed by Bill Wood ‘42 Word revision 1960

tiger walk An Auburn Tradition An Auburn tradition which began in the early 1960s when Auburn players would walk from Sewell Hall to the football stadium and fans would line Donahue Drive to wish them well. Over the years Tiger Walk has grown into a major part of game day at Auburn, so much so that it is listed on the players’ game weekend itinerary. The largest Tiger Walk is believed to have taken place prior to the 1989 Alabama game when more than 20,000 well wishers lined the street. Every Tiger Walk prior to home games draws thousands, and, over the last couple of years the Tiger Walk has become a standard as Auburn football players enter stadiums on the road. Tiger Walk is two hours before kickoff for every game.

2010 national champions toomer's corner

The center of town where the Auburn University campus meets the City of Auburn. Toomer’s Corner, where College Street intersects Magnolia Avenue, has long been the gathering place for Auburn athletic celebrations. After any football win, and significant victories in other sports, Auburn students and citizens alike join forces to “roll” the trees (and anything else that doesn’t move) at Toomer’s Corner with toilet tissue. Celebrations after significant football victories can go on for hours and leave the heart of town looking like a blizzard passed through.
