If anything, all you can blame the man for is being unable to predict the future. I didn't see anybody downing Chizik for taking a chance on that OL transfer from FSU. Shit, even I said he wasn't going to make it. Two weeks later, he's out. CTT gets reamed for not seeing 2 years into the future, but Chizik gets a pass for not being able to see two weeks into the future? I believe AU had a good bit of non-qualifiers from the '09 class (between 7-9?), and if I remember correctly, they were mostly guys Chizik drummed up. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong there.
Coach Chizik lost 6 prospects due to not qualifying and 1 due to his decision to play Pro Baseball.

21/28 is a lot better than 13/29, 13/30...of course the '09 Signing Class will become smaller if there's attrition like CTT's past 4 Signing Classes.
