USA Today: "Gene Chizik only one to blame for 2012 Auburn mess"

Scathing.  And it's not coming from Bama fans!

For quite a while - most of last season, in fact - that was the story among Auburn fans and even Auburn's athletic director. That the Tigers former coach had faltered so badly in recruiting his final year that it was causing the Tigers' struggles even three full seasons later.

There were no seniors. There was little quality depth. And it was all Tuberville's fault.

Does that explain Mississippi State 28, Auburn 10, too?

Seems like a tough sell to me. Mainly because on that field in Starkville on Saturday were several highly recruited, very talented players in AU gear - almost all of them signed by Gene Chizik and his staff in one of Chizik's four recruiting classes...

This from their message boards:

We don't demand enough as fans. Everyone needs to stop with this, "ALL IN" BS. We should not be all in because all in with a coaching staff and team like this is admitting that we love accept mediocrity. For too long all you sunshine pumpers have said things like "I Believe" and "War Eagle no Matter What." You need to raise your expectations. Bama fans don't take losing. They won't accept it. As a result they have a heirarchy of power that also won't accept it. You need to let Chizik, Jay Jacobs and everyone else know that losing is not acceptable. This staff and these players need to earn your support before you blindly give it to them.

Our answer to Nick Saban was hiring Gene Chizik? That's like combatting China's economic prowess with a lemonade stand. STOP BEING DILLUSIONAL. As a fanbase we need to demand more because if we keep putting up with mediocrity, that's what we'll continue to get. I'm not all in. I can't be. It's not fair for Chizik and everyone else to expect me to throw my emotions under a bus every week. You all need to wake up.

Lots of truth there.  This is the same coach Iowa State coach we expected.

Looking at his record at Aubland, can anyone question that Cam was paid??  It's his only success story, and it cost in excess of $180,000, paid illegally.

More quotes from Aubs:

I'm off the Chizik train. I'm done. He had the one year fluke with a senior laden, Tuberville recruited team led by Superman and Batman and got us our national championship. He will be forever beloved and treated like a king in Auburn once he is no longer the coach.

Kiehl Frazier is worse than Kodi Burns. He's worse than Chris Todd. He's worse than Clint Moseley. At least with Moseley, he'd fall down fast enough to keep the clock moving. The game would at least end quickly. Frazier prances around like a retard and throws it directly to the other team.

I don't doubt it for a minute.  They'd sell their mothers at this point.

I'm sitting at the radio tomorrow at 2PM.  If Tammy doesn't call in, I hope Finebaum calls her!

The jet is in flight as we speak.  Does anybody have the tail number?  Or did they lose their jet in the Colonial Bank collapse?

[Marshal Dillon]

This is the most accurate statement for me:

But failing is quickly becoming the norm for this Auburn team under Chizik.

It has failed defensively for the last three years. It has failed offensively for the past two. It has failed off the field with a number of arrests and suspensions.

And now, there's no one left to blame.

NAILED IT!!!

Maybe the barn can try and out bid the Carolina Panthers.

They are melting down over failing.  Our fans are melting down over winning ugly.  Maybe consideration of the primary disorder and treatment is in the works:

Impulsive behavior and aggression are present in a broad range of disorders. Although there have been some attempts to develop specific anti-aggression drugs or the "serenic" class of medications, the current psychopharmacological treatment strategy involves treating aggression as part of each particular syndrome. Impulsive or aggressive acting out behavior, for example, is one of the central behavioral features of the borderline personality disorder and is dealt with as a part of the whole disorder, which must be fully treated.
