I am a smart mother fucker...
There were so many things dysfunctional about Tubs staff at the end. I hated it came to that, but it had, and it was time for the change. Biggest thing in regards to this OC Hire...Chiz let him run his offense. After that, it was a matter of having enough players to make it go. Some were left by Tubs, others recruited, or coached by this staff. Kodi Burns is a classic example of one of Tubs players...but one that was "made" by this staff. If he'd have been playing for Tubs, he'd either be under center of a .500 team, or on the bench. This staff gave him a shot to contribute, and had enough overall chemistry to help him fit in and do it at WR. We had 4 star WR recruits under Tubs and Co that didn't contribute as much as Burns has at WR. Hell, Chris Todd is another example of making the most of very little. A very avg QB, they made him a record setting QB at Auburn.
There's a lot right with this staff...and it's held together by Chiz...anyone that wants to give all the credit to Malzahn is a fool...Malzahn runs the offense...Chiz runs the program. Both work very well together.
