I dont know where to find it, but there was an excellent professional psychology piece written about this a couple of years ago that basically said Chizik (and those in similar positions) stand a chance of thinking of themselves as Caesar. Once they conquered once, they think its an automatically repeatable exercise and should be expected to be so. That includes recruiting etc. I think we all expected 5 stars to flood auburn. didnt happen.
Dude hit the perfect storm with Gus and Cam and Fairley etc. He did a MARVELOUS job of navigating the 180K shite storm. Amazing in fact. However, once the perfect storm moved on, he had small idea of how to replicate the results with more ordinary players and without his magic man OC.

That is a very good explanation of what I think happened. I believe he would have figured it out but it would have taken some time and we would have had to remove some asst coaches
