I still think it was all because he was too soft on the players and that allowed for the players to become to laid back. Then they didn't work as hard and it showed on the field. There is no way he didn't teach them to block and tackle or that the players were too dumb to learn the plays and systems. Its more likely they halfway listened and when the season started going down hill, from their lack of devotion, they just gave up.
I just don't see how he could change so much from the way he was as a DC unless it was the HCs keeping his players inline instead of him.

I heard in 2011 that Chiz was actually somewhat jealous of the credit Gus got for his roll in the 2010 season and somewhat insecure about it as well. Chiz wanted more credit and his stamp on the program and listened less to others and more to his ego.
Anyway, that said, I really appreciate and like Chiz. As a whole he did a LOT for our program. Not only the Natty, but an overachieving 2009 as well as really pulling the program out of the dumpster. Tubs left us in horrific shape with only 70-72 scholarship players. It was like we were coming off severe probation. Chiz brought together the staff and was the head coach that rebuilt the foundation and honestly had a good, AWESOME, so-so, and terrible year. All in all, it was not a bad 4 year run and he set us up player wise for this year and next (along with his staff and Gus in particular).

it all starts at the top.... for all of Tuberville's faults, the dude had tough/physical football teams. Chizik's defenses were not as physical at Texas in large part b/c Mack Brown's style compared to that of Tuberville.
