Following the path of Gene Chizik, Iowa State President Steven Leath was named to the post.
Clicky thing here: http://www.al.com/news/montgomery/index.ssf/2017/03/auburn_university_new_presiden.html#incart_2box (http://www.al.com/news/montgomery/index.ssf/2017/03/auburn_university_new_presiden.html#incart_2box)
Does this mean anything to Jay Jacobs house of cards?
Couple quotes:
"War eagle!" said Dr. Leath after the vote. "I'm going to enjoy getting to say that on a regular basis. I could not be more excited, or frankly more humbled, by this once in a lifetime opportunity. I promise to work tirelessly to turn this university over to my successor better than I've found it."
And
Leath has recently been under fire for his use of university aircraft at Iowa State.
Last month, officials decided against filing criminal charges against Leath following an investigation into whether he broke the law with his use of school aircraft.
That review began after an audit found Leath used university planes for medical appointments in Minnesota, personal flight lessons and trips home to North Carolina. He has now reimbursed the university for the flights.

This guy is a hodgepodge of Auburn jokes all rolled into one:
- Hired from Iowa State? Check.
- Under scrutiny for unethical use of university airplane? Check.
- Lack of transparency in the hiring process? Check.
The only thing missing was him talking about how he "couldn't be more excited to take my talents to the University of Auburn."
Even still, if he comes in and axes Jay Jacobs, I'll be his biggest cheerleader.
