THE MORNING CONSTITUTIONAL WELCOMES GENE BACK

Gene Chizik has won a national championship. Read that sentence as many times as you want; it will always be completely truthful*. Now, Gene Chizik is the defensive coordinator at UNC, a team that ranked 119th in points allowed per game and 117th in yards per play allowed. Which is to say: you have nowhere to go but up, Gene Chizik, and we're confident you've used your time off to improve your leadership skills, study up on the game, and learn where babies come from.

DAMMIT GENE WE TALKED ABOUT THIS.

*This is the part where you suggest that the NCAA will eventually strip Auburn of that title for a litany of recruiting/eligibility/whatever violations, and we remind you that, less than six months ago, the Conference Commissioners Association invited Chizik to sit on a recruiting reform committee.
