          <title>Paramore column: Chizik deserves a fair chance</title>
          <link>http://www.dothaneagle.com/dea/sports/columnists/article/paramore_column_chizik_deserves_a_fair_chance/80415/</link>
          <description><![CDATA[
In slightly more than two months, Gene Chizik will field his first Auburn football team when the Tigers take on Louisiana Tech at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

A little more than five years ago, I sat down with ex-Auburn head coach Pat Dye for an on-the-record conversation about the state of affairs surrounding Tiger football.

As many recall, that was the summer just after the failed &#8220;coup attempt&#8221; on Tommy Tuberville that left the school&#8217;s supporters split into two distinct factions.
