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).

Yup. Obvious for anyone who read his book.

I heard at some point back towards the end of the 2011 season about a pretty substantial division in the athletic department between Chizik/Jackson and Jacobs. Never was able to get anything else on it, and hadn't really heard anything about it since. Curious if this might shed some light on it.
