"I feel like at times I got tarred and feathered erroneously, because I think a lot of people didn't do their homework," Chizik told the AP. "There were a lot of assumptions made that were absolutely false and incorrect. I stand by everything that I did. I have absolutely nothing to hide and I never will because I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I always did it right."
He seemed to be specifically talking about the off the field allegations that were cast on Auburn during his time (HBO, Selena Roberts, etc).
From the original story. LINK

His tenure also had off-field turmoil, including an NCAA investigation of Newton's recruitment and a report alleging academic fraud and payments to athletes. Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs disputed that report in April 2013 after an internal investigation and defended the coach he had recently fired as "a man of the utmost character and integrity."

But in all seriousness he gets credit for holding the team together through the media shite storm and getting us the national title. For that, I will always be grateful.

He said he "needed to step back" to focus on his family, passing on offers to be a defensive coordinator and some head-coaching discussions.
This is interesting. I thought part of the buyout contract was he must actively look for jobs. I would think if he was offered a job and didnt accept, would be against it. or at least AU should be off the hook for the offered salary
