I remember being so mad at yall for firing Chiz because I didn't think a program should throw away a national title winning coach so quickly.

But I will be damned that not only was that the right move, it was the sort of aggressive move that lets Auburn overachieve.

Sometimes. Then there are other times that you make the wrong choice. I like Chizik. I thought they let him go too soon at the time. I felt like he did a great job taking over a 5 win teams in 2009 then taking them to a good bowl win and a 8 win season. Then his coaching job in 2010 was masterful. He held the team and program together in a time where they faced the most scrutiny in recent history. He lost 40 players off the roster in 2011 but still made a decent season and another good bowl win. Then 2012 happened and the wheels fell off.
He was forced to change the offense and it failed.

I felt he needed another year to right the ship but he lost the team to go with the shitty season and that was what got him canned.

It ended up being the right move. No way Chizik would have achieved what we did in 2013. So who knows.
