I really think it is a legit question!!
You are never going to convince us that what he did was right. Its not about him leaving! Its about how he did it.

You would and it might be, if you this wasn't yet another example of you obsessing on the same topic for years.
If Majors or Bruce had been asked by Pitt, Tenn or Ohio State to leave Ames after only two years (and little success) would they have done the same thing chiz did and go to an established power job??

Nearly everything you say here is message board legend and has little to no basis in fact. A couple examples of the hyperbole, look at next years two deeps and who recruited them; the JUCO numbers were similar or less than any comparable class. Also, I would argue that a quick exit is the best way to go........limited defections and pulled the team together??? My only real point in all this is how easily anger clouds judgment. The guy just won a National Championship and coach of the year in all the polls. 53 years was a long drought for Auburn.+3
I understand you thought up a new argument (Majors/Bruce). But you still dont seem to understand the situation.
Chizik didn't even tell his own mother, much less his AD, that he was bolting for Auburn. Then he spent mere minutes with his team and jumped on a plane. Chizik was NEVER commited to doing the hard work at ISU. He was told by the good old boys at Auburn to get head coaching experience so it would look better when they hired him. It was a backroom handshake deal from the start.
Chizik did the bare minimum at ISU. His two recruiting classes were full of busts and no shows. He recruited a bunch of JuCos in hopes of winning a few games right away rather than rebuilding from the bottom up. He mad abolutely no effort to recruit in Iowa, instead preferring to spend as much time recruiting in the south, which looks better on a resume.
There really aren't that many people on the board who blame Chizik for leaving for a job that doubled his salary. It's how he did it that matters. Couple that with the **** poor job he did while at ISU and you have the reason why we can't stand your posts reb.
