He lost the team. We had a pretty bad coaching staff overall, but the talent alone should have been good enough to at least make a bowl game in 2012 (as evidenced by basically all the same players plus a new QB going to the natty the year after). Listening to some of the beat writers and former players, he got a little too big for his britches after the NC (stuff like requiring players to make appointments with a secretary to meet with him; imposing a curfew, etc.), so that once things started looking down, the team just kinda quit on him

Yeah, I've heard things like he would hand out some discipline to a player and the player would then go bitch to his position coach about it and the position coach would tell the player "ah, don't worry about it, I'll straighten it out". Nobody in the building respected him and he was an arrogant prick.
