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..

I think this guy is a quack, but I do think there's a little bit of truth to his analysis of Chizik:

That and Chiz going back on the agreement the 2 made. Chiz told Gus after the natty that Gus would have complete offensive control if he returned in 2011. That's a big reason Gus turned the $3.5 mil Vandy job. When Gene went back on that agreement in 2011 Gus left for Arky St for much less money at the end of the season.
