I know most/all Auburn fans are glad to be rid of him.
Many--and not just Auburn fans--credit the 2010 success mostly to Newton, followed by Malzahn.
My point is that I dont think he gets his fair share of credit in the success. I point to the Saints for comparison. They have the same MVP worthy QB in Brees and surrounding star studded line up, yet they are struggling without head coach Sean Payton.
ETA:
Don't mean to say he shouldnt have been fired. The collapse of the program is ultimately his responsibility.
However, he's always handled himself with humility and seems to be a man of good character. I hope he lands on his feet.

He did not think so either...Pride comes before the fall...
He had it all and threw it all away...

Umm auburn is going to be better without their coach. It's the complete opposite of the saints.

I said this yesterday, but imagine if Lane Kiffen had been HC at Auburn in 2010 with the exact same set of circumstances. The implosion would have been legendary.

Absolutely. Hope he's super successful at whatever he does next.

The fact is that not one Auburn fan can say FOR CERTAIN that another coach would have won a National Championship in 2010. However, they CAN say FOR CERTAIN that Chizik won a National Championship in 2010.
Thus, there should be no buyer's remorse for Auburn fans.
Besides, it's not like he is leaving the cupboard bare. Whoever becomes the next coach of Auburn will have a lot of talent to work with.

Hey...it takes the right know-how to find the best bag man out there to deliver the "package" to papa newton and leave no traces. IT was his greatest accomplishment.
