The longer Chizik drags out his coaching searches, the more negative rumors and heat will build on Auburn.
The media is pro-Bama in this state (and outside to some degree) and that's just the way it is.
It is amazing how the PR departments for universities don't do a better job of knowing their environment. Auburn could be running circles around Alabama if they would get out ahead of stories and make their own news.
Auburn's problem is that they sit around waiting for respect. They aren't going to get it from the media or opposing fans in Alabama. They need to take it. They are Auburn Freaking University, a top 10-15 program in college football history and the defending national champions, one of the Big 6 in the SEC and sometimes they act like Ole Miss. I'm talking about the leadership, not the fans.
Auburn needs to forget that Alabama even exists and be who they are. Build on the championship and get back to playing smash mouth football and competing for SEC West titles. I usually like to see other SEC West teams go down, but it is kind of aggravating me to hear all of this "Auburn is in decline" talk. The SEC West should be run by LSU, Alabama, and Auburn while the rest jockey for position.
Just my opinion.

They don't have a way to get out in front of the story. I don't even think they have a journalism department. We have media who went to Alabama all over the state and the rest play to the majority UA fanbase to keep their jobs or get ratings like finebaum.

The Univ. of Alabama is very good at the PR game. Case in point, the way we used ESPN to manipulate voting to our advantage. In fact, the public relations department/program at UA is routinely ranked among the top 5 in the country. Last year they were the #1 ranked program in the country.
