re: What is your honest opinion of what happened with Chizik?

I believe he made some questionable choices at the assistant level. Our recruiting improved, but the cost wasn't worth it in the long run. To be honest if it got us 2010 and to this point I was willing to pay the cost but he had some shady dudes on staff.

We had a few coaches on staff that were marginal at best at anything other than getting kids to sign on the dotted line. CDC is a recruiter but seems to instill discipline and still has the ability to recruit. A few of those guys were only recruiters. The entire time they were on our staff I was uneasy about it, because it always seemed so dramatic and childish.

I appreciate CGC for the strong front he put on in 2010, but it always felt manufactured and not natural. When you look at 2011 and 2012 there is only one place to lay the blame. Gene! Sometimes it is easy to look at 2011 and say 8-5 we did alright, but that was a terrible football team that got there butt beat in ways I wasn't used to as an Auburn fan.

I also never understood his medaling nature with the DC and OC, it screams weakness. If you don't like what they are doing fire them at the end of the season.
