Tommy Thigpen here to tackle new assignment


's hiring is intriguing. He is a '93 UNC grad. He was a successful and popular player there. He coached there for several years in two different stints. Why would he leave that and come to Auburn? He hasn't fully addressed this on the record, but Thigpen probably felt maxed out at UNC. Chizik agreed to let Thigpen coach a different position, provided a modest raise and will teach the neophyte.
