I'm sure he's proud of himself...as he should be! This is a milestone not only for Gene Chizik, but for Jamie Pollard and all of Iowa State University.
I for one second that grin. The more I think about it, the more excited I am about the hire. Pollard must have given Chizik some strong indication that together they can take this program somewhere. This is definitely the kind of move that the boosters can get excited about. Everyday I'm more and more convinced that Pollard knows exactly how to play the AD game.
McDermott was a great hire, Cael was an easy decision, but I was still not convinced that Jamie was the real deal-- until today. I will be getting the checkbook out.
Hawk fans- mark this day down as the beginning of dominance in the state of Iowa and beyond.
