Chizik was a better coach and is a better person than O

LSU fans told me there was no way that O caught lightening in the bottle and would be fired in a few years like Chizik

They will have both coached 2 seasons worth of games before no longer being employed by their respective schools. People really want to push semantics to sensationalize all. Chizik didn't have all the off-field shite O carried with him as well.

Not personally, but his team had more legal issues. Gene Chizik had people following his players around on and off campus. He lost complete control of that locker room.

But yeah, Gene Chizik did more with less. LSU was way more talented under Ed O than Auburn was under Gene Chizik.

Auburn just so happened to have the GOAT college player at QB.

Was he that much of a control freak or the team was having some discipline issues? I liked Coach Chizik, just like I thought Coach Curry was a good guy and was good for a university

Chizik got paranoid. He hired private security To surveil players who lived off campus and to enforce curfew.

I’m pretty sure Chizik got the pink slip after the Arkansas game. It wasn’t official until the annual asswhipping by Bama

Chizik let his staff, particularly Trooper and Luper bring in a bunch shitheels as recruits and ruined the culture and locker room. We had players murdered and armed robberies during that time IIRC. I think Chizik was trying to get a handle on it, but it was too late. 2012 was miserable because after about game three the players just gave no effort. We got embarassed at least a half a dozen times that season.

No he didn't.

January 2011 - October 2012 = 21 months exactly

Chizik was fired immediately after losing at home to A&M 63-21.

If it makes you feel better but if you watch the rest of the season after Arkansas and the massive rumors that week that he’d get canned if he lost to John L Smith, you’d come to the conclusion he was fired that week
