He's the new DC at North Carolina, and his history suggests that he'll be pretty good as a DC.
"I feel like at times I got tarred and feathered erroneously, because I think a lot of people didn't do their homework," Chizik told the AP. "There were a lot of assumptions made that were absolutely false and incorrect. I stand by everything that I did. I have absolutely nothing to hide and I never will because I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I always did it right."
I doubt I'm alone, but I've always thought Chizik was hired as a puppet who was too naive to know the shadiness of some things that have gone on there - and would never question his success about it. The fact is this: the guy did NOTHING to commend himself as a head coach of Auburn before he was hired. He was 5-19 at Iowa State, and remember that he took over ISU in early 2007 after their most sustained success in program history. Keep in mind that Dan McCarney won nearly as many games (4-8) in his last year as Chizik won in two. This nothing program won seven games a year in five of the previous six years, so it's not like GC inherited a bad team.
NOTHING commended this guy to be an SEC head coach.
And it's part of why I've always been suspicious.
