He became the 5-19 coach we hired. Iowa State was bad, and got worse when Chizik was there. We ignored the red flags when Iowa State fans were glad he left and Paul Rhodes talked about how bad the fundamentals were when he arrived the year Chizik left. Auburn hired a dud who struck lightning in a bottle for one year.

I also think the praise he gets for navigating the team in 2010 is overblown. It's much harder to keep your team focused when they're being praised by the media and everyone around them. Not so much when it's a "us against the world" situation, which is exactly what 2010 was.

I will have to disagree with you there. If he gets all the criticism for the bad shite, you have to give the man credit for the good..

He also won a lot of big close games and did not lose his cool during. When Alabama was up 24-0, his demeanor did not change. A lot of coaches would have panicked
