we realize that but Chizik did kind of throw him under the bus by calling him average at best
Chizik was not referring to him at dismissal, he was referring to his play in the ARky game...
Head coach Gene Chizik was less than enthusiastic about Adams' performance in that game, calling his play "average, at best."

Your beat writer characterized it in a different context. Here's the whole thing:
quote:
Sophomore cornerback Harry Adams has been dismissed from the team for breaking an unspecified team rule, an Auburn University official confirmed today.
Adams, a Fort Lauderdale native, played mostly in nickel formations this season, picking up six tackles. He saw his most action against Arkansas, when starting corner Walt McFadden went down with an injury.
Asked how Adams played, Gene Chizik kept praise to a minimum.
“Average,“ he said. “At best.“
Adams played in eight games last season, mostly on special teams, picking up one tackle. He was recruited to play wide receiver, converted to cornerback, switched back to wide receiver during the spring before moving back to cornerback in August.
The Tigers now have just four scholarship cornerbacks.

That's what I get for taking a Bama flamers word on it.
