Meanwhile in Nebraska:
These are the same asshats that thought they could get urban Meyer.

Pollard an AD candidate at Nebby?
- Thread starter cycloner29
- Start date
Wisconsin or maybe an absolutely killer school are the only ones he’ll leave for. And the school in Lincoln is neither of those things.
If the big ten were the United Nations - nebraska would be Ghana.
Pollard is not going to Nebraska in any way, shape, or form.
UNL President: Hello Mr. Pollard, I would like to know your level of interest in being the athletics director at nebr…..

My money says that Pollard isn't going anywhere, anytime soon. When are people around here going to realize that Iowa State is a Special Place and some coaches and some administrators like Special Places. Pollard likes to hire people who like Special Places because he knows that Iowa State fans and donors have invested their heart first and then their money into Iowa State. He expects his coaches and himself to invest their hearts as well as their time too.
The Nebraska rumor mill is reliably hysterical. I haven’t talked to anyone yet, but I’ve heard the “Coach X has been sleeping with/impregnated a coed/booster’s wife” rumor tied to 3 different staffs there.
I can't see Pollard (or anyone with half a brain) leaving at this point from what he's done at ISU to go somewhere where he has to build or rebuild something.
Next stop will be WI like others have said where he can ride the wave.
Fwiw UW's new AD is only 44 and has been in their system so I'd imagine he sticks around for a while.

That fanbase is delusional. That would be a major step down for Pollard.
I see 3 big things that really make him incompatible with somewhere like nebraska:
- He has talked a lot about being a builder, enjoying being at a place where he can build something special. Not only would that not be nebraska, but it'd be an especially bad time to leave what he's been building here.
- He's talked a lot about liking the ISU fanbase for appreciating the wins and not being an entitled fanbase like some others. Guess who is an extreme example of that?
- JP, for all his good, can be thin skinned at times. That would be a toxic reaction with the Nebraska fanbase.

Wow...You also bring thin soup to this table...what a cheap shot at one of the best ADs in the country.
There's a difference between being a candidate and being interested. N would be crazy not to have JP on their list. For one obvious reason, Scott Frost's seat is warming.
Iowa State is a better AD job than Nebraska in this century
