Charles Barkley: Really wishes Auburn had hired a black coach. Like Turner Gill. “I think race was the No. 1 factor. You can say it’s not about race, but you can’t compare the two resumes and say [Chizik] deserved the job. Out of all the coaches they interviewed, Chizik probably had the worst resume.” Worse yet, the guy who wrote that piece, Mark Schlabach, said he was told by two SEC coaches that Gill didn’t get the gig because of his white wife. Whitlock must be licking his chops to write about this as if he were sitting down to chow some bbq. Obviously more on this tomorrow. (ESPN)
