re: When did Gene Chizik lose his Team?

before the season I am guessing. I mean look at how they played from the get go.

They had early losses, but they played Clemson and LSU tough, and had a non-blowout loss to MSU. They didn't truly have a game where they laid down until us either. Even though it was 21 points, the Ole Miss game was still in doubt pretty late into the game.

I think half the team checked out with the loss to Arkansas and the other half midway through the A&M game. Had they played one of their cupcakes earlier, they may have felt they had more to play for, gave more effort mid-season.

They still are a bad team, but they still could have maybe made a bowl game had the schedule unfolded differently.
