Made an awesome point and one that really pulls at what i thought Chizik brought to Iowa State that would propel us further then any of us ever thought our football program was capable of - Recruiting.
He will succeed at Auburn - he will recruit the heck out of Florida, Georgia and Alabama. He will succeed at recruiting no doubt in my mind. Now, can he coach - i don't know, time will tell, but he will have really good players to implement his system. Secondly, i think he learned a few lessons while at ISU that may change his coaching style a bit, after all, his neck is on the line if someones not doing their jobs.
Lastly, Chizik screwed everyone, i only wish one column, one article from ESPN or another outlet would emphasize it. How much of a coward and snake he was not only to Jamie and the athletics department, but also to the fans and mostly to his own guys that he lied to - for that, he has a lot of developing in his profession. If some think he was backdooring things i bet not, why would he have demoted and fired coaches if he knew he was packing up????
They did talk about this last night on the NFL channel college football segment. One of the analysts made a great point...
Does Chizik regardless of success as an assistant at that school get that interview if he's black and 5-19.....they thought not and i agree. But, the good ol boys with the fat wallets like Chizik and thats all that mattered - he was one of their own.....
Wins will tell that - but, they ended that by saying sometimes Karma has a way of catching up to ya sometimes....
Good Luck Gene!!!!!
