OK, well what about 2011 (year after their MNC)? Same HC. Same OC. Same offensive scheme. 3rd year of recruits for the system. 8-5 (4-4) record. What was the difference here? Was it Chizik who sucked it up? Was it Malzahn and his offense/recruits? Or, was it that they were lacking Cam Newton?
Good question I know they rotated 3 QBs all through 2011 which isn't Malzahn's style because they have to learn his offense. Of course he left at the end of the season so maybe it was Chizik's decision I mainly offered the info to show that you don't just hire a guy and instantly win championships.

No one would argue that Chizik was an awesome coach who single-handedly brought Auburn a MNC in his 2nd year, though. There was a lot more to it (Cam Newton was the biggest piece).
Malzahn was a couple of fluke plays away from being 11-2 or 10-3 (which is still respectable) instead of 12-1 and playing for a MNC.
