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

Not a chance. Once he went 3-9 there was no turning around until he was fired. I would hate to see the 2013 result had he remained head coach.

As if losing to Alabama 49-0 in Tuscaloosa was bad enough.. It would've been 49-0 at home in 2013 under Chizik.

Yeah no. He was a defensive head coach who had soft, terrible defenses. There was no way he would have figured it out to the point we would have had any true consistent success. The inmates were running the asylum under Chizik. And on top of that he ran off Gus because he couldn't handle not getting what he thought was his due for 2010. If he couldn't handle have a hotshot OC on staff he would have zero chance of success anywhere.
