You can't blame everything on Tubbs, but it is truly amazing how bad of shape one coach can leave a roster. I am not talking about talent, I am talking about just the numbers. He managed to recruit 1 offensive lineman that made it to campus his last two years. The way he left the roster combined with the lack of players left from the 09 class at this point put us in a bad place that is just tough to overcome quickly.
Getting rid of Tubbs for Chiz is one of the most baffling coaching moves I have ever witnessed. I thought that when it happened and I still think that now.
All Chiz has done is written one big check and now has an army of Auburn fans following him to the promised land.

Until you remember that Chizik won a national championship.

Well, at least Chizwrote the big check. You didn't see what Tubs did to our program his last 2 years did you?
Nice try though

Tubbs was a good gameday coach but he lacked the passion that is required to recruit 365 days a year. His days were numbered since "jetgate" because I think he got bitter. Every year since that he leveraged job openings to squeeze every dime out of the school. Getting rid of Tubbs was the best move Auburn made in a long time, they just didn't do it the right way and looked bad in the process.
Do I think that Chizik is the best coach ever? Short answer, no. Long answer, it is too early to tell. he is smart enough to hire very good assistants. In the SEC, he needs to get his defense in order (which I think he made one hell of a step in doing so) and needs to install a more balanced and more consistant offense than we had under Malzahn (again, I think he has taken a step in the right direction).
All in all, I think Chizik has the program heading in the right direction and if the SEC picks up 2 more teams and they redistribute the divisions with Auburn going East, we could play for the SEC championship consistently. We happen to be in the toughest division in college athletics and are just behind a couple of the teams.
