Who's On Pollard's Short List?
- Thread starter FallOf81
- Start date
I think search firms are generally just covers to talk to people under contract so AD's don't step on each other's toe's as bad.
While I agree that the contract numbers say CMC will be here at least through the end of next year no matter how badly his team plays and performs, you have to acknowledge that in the new era of football we are in the decline will be harder and faster than they have been in the past. Recruiting can dry up and players will leave for greener pastures. There's a lot at risk.
Of course maybe we don't convert, or do convert and don't get a TD, or convert and require extra time to get a field goal ... but at that point, you can't go back and fix mistakes that got into a 10-0 hole, take a chance.
Should have tried an onside kick after the touchdown, too. At that point, we were at "win by desperation" anyway.
Right. Everyone knows the up and coming coaches that would be a coach we could get and the big schools know which coaches they can poach from schools like ours. Search firms are dumb
And the ADs are all in the semantics so it doesn’t matter and is still stupid.
College football
College football isn’t college football anymore, for all intents and purposes it is the pro game now. NIL and transfer portal mean a season like is nearly a death sentence. The rebuild will be long and very hard.
At least he was 9-3 his last year. 1-11 does not match that.
We have had three defensive mind head coaches , maybe get an offensive guy for once and convince John to stay
Pollard isn’t firing him. If you continue to follow be prepared to hope for 7 or 8 win seasons. Historically not bad for ISU but not what a fan of any major conference team should put up with. I attended ISU when Walden was coach and have been a loyal fan ever since but I’m tired of the nonsense. If they ever pull it together and have a good year (not just good for ISU) I have earned the right to jump back on the wagon but I can’t keep putting energy into this disaster.
I doubt he has one yet but the next guy needs to be someone who can utilize the transfer portal. The landscape has changed even just since the staff started, they haven't been able to keep up.
Wouldn't that be the discussion between Pollard and campbell?... "hey, Matt, if you have any leads on jobs, let the AD know that we'll waive the buyout."
We were there. We had arrived and were actually in playoff discussions. Now we have regressed back to Paul Rhodes / KSU meltdown territory. Gotta be frustrating for an AD that has pumped a massive amount of money into the program.

No way would pollard do that. We’ll need his buy out to pay his replacement’s buyout.
No. He did the head coach thing and failed really bad. He is a coordinated a great one. In fact our best coach and one of the best in the country but not a head coach.
