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.
Yup. Obvious for anyone who read his book.

I've never read the book. Was told what I said by my parents. Maybe they got it from friends that read his book. Dunno.

I like Chizik, but his EGO got in the way. He got very little credit for the Nattie as most went to Malzhan and Cam. He immmediately stopped taking questions at Alumni Meetings, Scholarship meeting and on the radio. That told me a lot.

Chiz's attitude changed and he started putting himself and his minions into meetings, (There was reports of folks getting kicked out of meeting) etc. and constantly changing the game plan, etc.

In 2011, we won the USCe game with "American Football" which was what he wanted. Gus was not turned loose until the Bowl Game and I do not remember the score, but we rocked.

Malzhan left and I certainly believe a lot of that dealt with Chiz's changed attitude.

Chiz wanted nothing to do with a hot shot O-coordinator and we got Lefty..
