I don't think Chizik's scheme works anymore. That along with his ability to teach tackling and I don't think he'll be as good as he was ever again.
How did Gene Chizik coach such great defenses at Auburn and Texas, and then just drop off a cliff in every way imaginable when he became the head coach? It's mind boggling... It makes you think he wasn't the mastermind behind those great defenses from 2003-2006.

Because he wasn't focusing on defense alone, a head coach has a ton of responsibilities. Look at all the coordinators in the NFL that became head coaches and couldn't swing it.
But once they go back to focusing on either offense or defense it's like they never missed a beat.

I know he had some great D's at Auburn. IIRC, at Texas they weren't so great.
Coach Tub was the great D mind during that time. He does not get the credit he deserves, for being as good a D mind as their is, IMO.
