Chizik, fired at Auburn

While we all knew this was coming I thought the following comment was poignant given what we have dealt with the last couple of years, and to this point NOT having the same problems this year.

On why the team struggled…
It’s awful easy to second guess. When you go through a season like we did, there is a lot of that going on. We made a decision and we are moving forward. I will tell you this, anytime that you have a team like we do and the recruiting class that we did have the last couple of years, player development – where are we with that. Why aren’t we getting it done? Why didn’t the quality of the class transfer over to the field? That’s particularly of interest to me with this program, with this team. Why didn’t that happen? But overall, discipline is something that is always a foundational thing in any team that you have. You always look for those things, but player development is the one thing. We made this decision and we are moving forward.
