re: Chizik: Success, failure, other?

Gus was always the long term plan and Gene was hired as a puppet or figure head who could stay out of the way of the dream team offensive staff. Chiz delivered an unexpectedly great year, but failed overall at establishing a winning culture that could sustain the program long term. Completely lost focus after the NC. He had a very humbling experience which is probably why he’s such a great guy now.
