Do you think the local bank did this without athletic department approval? come on.
It's a two-way street. The bank wants to latch onto something popular, and ISU wants to benefit from it.
For all you BVD fans out there - Pollard is better. end of story. Stop that stupid bowl games/tourney invite crap statistics. WE ARE FEELING THE EFFECTS OF BVD RIGHT NOW! Just as BVD was living off of his predecessor. If we hired the most amazing AD in the history of our program tomorrow, we wouldn't feel the effects for at the very least 3 or 4 years.
What success is directly attributed to his contributions to our program? How many other AD's have been put on a 1 year contract renewable on a year to year basis like he was when his original deal ran out, and if that was the way ISU was going to operate, why wasn't Pollard given a one year contract?
He balanced the budget by cutting programs and costs....anything else?
why are we arguing over bvd and jp? bvd is gone. jp is here and from what i can tell, he is dedicating 110% of his heart into isu. for that alone, i am behind him. we had good times with bvd but, he is gone-and guess what-he's not coming back. get over it.
Giving approval and coming up with the idea yourself are 2 different things
You can't blame Pollard for trying to capitalize on every ounce and excitement and momentum he had going... that was the only way he was going to get some of his goals accomplished

Smith needed to spend money at ISU. The athletic facalities were all dumps. The football team practiced in a drainage way. There was no Jake when he came. There was very little to work with. ISU was a joke when he showed up.
Just for people who don't want to go through the idiotic rehash of the glorious BVD era like I just had to, the JP team meeting comments are around page 9, post 123.
Regardless of what others may believe for the support of our AD. I for one, am in JP's camp. He never will get everything right, no different than you or me. However, I do feel he is giving his best shot. He is well aware that what is best for ISU is best for JP.
I would like to see who is on the search committee. It would actually be nice if they would be a "outside the box" thinker , to add an everyday fan of ISU on the comittee. That individual would have to respect the cofidentially rules yet be empowered for a vote. Would be interesting to see a laymans thought on everything, without the $$$, the politics, etc. Just outright love of ISU, academically and athletically. And with the later taking center stage since this is not a grant/professor search.

I happen to recall BVD being so incompetent he couldn't even get a someone hired to replace LE. Yep, great AD there...bring him back in a heartbeat.
As long as you're going to bash AD's for coaches that jet you'd better tag Floyd's departure square on BVD's head.
BTW...where is that genius of an AD at now????? What about Wayne Morgan his bball coach?

Thats just ridiculous. Chizik proved he was not the best man for the job at the time. Not even close. Yes it was Pollards fault that he did not hire the right guy at the time.
Hoke wouldn't have seriously looked at ISU?? He went to SDSU for God's sake, which in most circles would be looked at as a step DOWN. I heard that he didn't even have his own office at Ball St. If ISU wanted him, they could STILL have him. I have doubts about him, though, since a lot of his success came off of one good player.
These people hating on Pollard, I would like to know what you think he did wrong. Setting season ticket sales records? All of the facilities work? Chizik had a good resume, so I don't see where this is Pollard's fault. I for one am glad that he's in charge and working on this hire.
Anyone who has ever interviewed and hired people on a regular basis knows that about half of the process is from reviewing the facts, and the other half is a pure gut instinct. I do not see how Pollard could have expected another team to come in here and taken him away after a couple of crappy seasons. If he had done well and then skipped town, that may have been expected, but that also would have left us in a much better position. I won't fault Pollard in this at all.
hey! some good news... ryan mosby said he is still committed to ISU! hes one of our better commits so far..
Ain't no one other than the Auburn AD that had any clue that Chiz was going to get hired away.
Who was the better hire at the time?
Kelly wouldn't commit because he wanted Michigan St. Brewster? He didn't have head coaching experience and didn't have the credentials Chizik did. Harbaugh? Had head coaching experience at D-1AA but greener than Chizik in terms of experience coaching. Norvell? No. Loney? Not a chance at the time because of his Mac connections. Rhoads? Same reason as Loney.
