Sure, why not? How many hundreds of hours would it take to compose a letter like this?

Read up on the Grand Avenue expansion and flood mitigation project. Not saying the area will never flood again but work is being done.
They don't do this project without the Grand Ave project happening
If you are implying that Prohm could get fired at the end of the season then you are out of your damn mind.
Plus the flood depth at the Iowa State center isn't that deep.. the renderings showed the buildings in the commercial project raised up a couple feet to accommodate that.
Having a little perspective is a good thing, and I appreciate the reminder.
I will say that even though I'm far from all in on Prohm this letter was valuable in this regard. Change for the sake of change is not necessarily a good thing.
I read this message and the talk about 'irrational' to be more towards those freaking out over the bowl game loss than about basketball. Pollard knows the FAMU loss was bad. But if you're freaking out about football right now you're being irrational. Was this year disappointing? Absolutely. But that doesn't mean we are anywhere near off the rails yet, and Campbell hasn't given us any reason to think he can't still grow things from here.
Sorry kids lets not enjoy this Christmas dinner together in Orlando, I've got to write this letter that I can do back in the office next week.
This makes a lot of sense. And I might add, if you can't see the irrational fan, you may be the irrational fan.
Pollard himself probably put 10 minutes of thought into that message. He told someone the points he wanted to make and he approved the final copy. Let's not pretend this was some heavy lift on his part.
I'm excited to read Jamie's letter in March after we finish 10th for the second time in 3 seasons.
But honestly, all this did was solidify the fact Steve isn't getting canned ANY time soon.
Hold on to your butts.

Isnt this the same AD that gave McDermott a 5th year after 4 straight losing seasons, gave CPR a 7th year after going 5-19 (2-16 in conf) in years 5-6 and let Kevin Jackson kill ISU wrestling?
that's the man that you believe has a good feel on the pulse of the fanbase?

Yuuuup..
But I did like the facilities update! Excited for the future of the program in that sense!
I was gong to say the same thing - you need to be in your office with your staff around you just to write a letter?
So I'm guessing you would be real surprised to find out how many coaches and staffers read this site? I'll give you a hint, it's > 0. While you may not intend for anything to be for their eyes, they read the site just like the rest of us.
Aka “Stop Picking on Prohm and focus on these facility improvements”
Like I said in a previous thread, you can tell we are becoming a better athletic program because the douchbag ratio is going up, Pollard's e-mail agrees.
