The Bodda Getta

Phillip,

A head coach always has influence of what goes on for a team, but that is not my point. My point was that Chizik could not stand that Tubs got credit and he did not get credit. He left Auburn for Texas because he wanted to leave his own mark on a defense, get credit for it, and Mack Brown said he would let him run it. Please enlighten me then why else would he make a "lateral move." He stated numberous times that he would not leave Auburn unless he became a head man. Tubs had just as many credentials as Mack Brown had at the time and for Chizik to tell people that he felt that it would better his career to go to Texas, was ludicrous. He had just gone undefeated, was on the top of the world as a cordinator, and had a pretty good defense coming back. Why else would he leave if he did not want to bask in his own glory? Again, my point is Chizik does not know what humility is, plain and simple.

I thought one of Tub's strengths was that he delegated rather than micromanaged.

"Why else would he leave ?" Ask Will Muschamp. Also, why would Chizik think he would get more credit for the defense at Texas than he did at Auburn ? I don't think it was because Mack Brown told him he would let him run it. I think it is widely accepted that Tuberville let him run it at Auburn. You said yourself that Chizik was on top of the world as a coordinator. That means that he was being credited for his work. He was "leaving his mark." Your theory contradicts itself at almost every turn. Try again.
