“We’ve got a whole summer in front of us which our expectation is that our whole team is working extremely hard to build on what we’ve started to accomplish these 15 days,” Chizik said. “So a lot is going to depend on what they do voluntarily.”
Chizik sees no decision forthcoming in the quarterback battle between Barrett Trotter and Clint Moseley, expecting it to last into August.
“Unless something drastic happens, I don’t anticipate us being able to make a decision before sometime in two-a-days,” he said. “You never say never, but again, I’d have to see a clear cut definitive change and that would be hard for us to do because we’re not going to be out there.”
While most of the attention this spring has been on the quarterback battle, Chizik said the coaches will sit down with every player on the roster for “exit interviews,” just to give them a sense of where they are in the pecking order.
“We’re very candid about where everybody stands in relationship to other players competing for jobs,” Chizik said. “Guys become good at football in parts. They don’t just become good at everything all at once. You’ve got to give them a good idea where they’re at.”
“That’s huge because the only thing we can do is exactly what you think, is to give it everything we’ve got, trust in them, do whatever they tell us to do and not worry about that,” Moseley said. “But at the same time, we are human beings. I want to know where I’m at. I want to know what I did wrong in-depth.”
As for Chizik, the focus shifts to recruiting, with the spring evaluation period approaching.
“There’s a lot of work to do,” he said. “It never ends.”
