Now that the dust has settled, can we have the Pollard talk?

[cyclonepower31]

Alright everyone, now that we have less than 20 football players on the roster, can we finally acknowledge that Jamie Pollard HAS TO GO.

From Everything I have heard, Matt Campbell did not want to leave, but Pollard forced his hand and pushed him out. He even announced Jimmy Rogers as the new coach before saying anything about Campbell leaving. None of the long time football staff members stayed on, not even the behind the scenes people.

Any media member that said anything negative about Pollard completely retracted the statement in less than a week. Sounds like some threats were thrown their way by Pollard.

Pollards legacy is pushing out the three best coaches in Iowa state history because of his stubbornness. Pollards legacy is alienating 90% of the fanbase by calling them slobs. Pollards legacy is only upgrading the gameday experience for the rich and powerful.

This university is bigger than Jamie Pollard. I beg my fellow cyclones to acknowledge that.

Just very calculated in making posts I'm guessing.

A cyclone who hasn’t been this concerned about the athletic department in 12 years.

Two posts, over a decade ago and then this. Welcome back?

Hi Bruce!

 

[cyclonepower31]

I’m also just shocked that people won’t engage to defend pollard. They just hit disagree or label it dumb and move on.

If he is doing so great, let’s hear the defense?

 

[iowastatefan1929]

CMC had hit his ceiling and was making excuses.
Pollard told him no and he threw a fit.

The thread doesn’t dignify a response.

I don't know that you can put this on JP entirely, but I think it's fair to (a) question what role he played in it and (b) ask questions about whether or not he's the right guy to lead our AD at this critical point in time with so much changing.

Paul Rhoads, Fred Hoiberg, or Cael Sanderson. I would have also said Matt Campbell, but12 years would have been before his time.

Dark Horse Picks: Steven Leath, Gary Barta.

So you don’t have a defense? I’m fine if people love Pollard. I don’t love him, I think he’s done a lot of harm. But can we not even have the discussion? What is with everyone who blindly would follow Pollard off a bridge?

The only thing we can talk about Pollard is why it took him so long to find a replacement.

 

[Cyhig]

Yes - Pollard clearly has done a terrible job. /s

ISU beat Iowa in 7 of the 8 sports played this year, losing in women's soccer. Wins over the likes of wrestling, mens and womens basketball, and football

You understand there is far, far more to being an AD than football, right? How come you're not mentioning any other sport? Otz apparently wasn't a good enough hire for you I take it

People are dumbing the post because it was a dumb post IMO

 

[1UNI2ISU]

I think there's some validity to the concerns about a guy that is so against paying kids being the guy controlling all the money but there isn't a discussion to have because he's not going anywhere until he decides to hang it up so you end up just shouting into the void.

 

[Drew0311]

Such a dumb post. Campbell wanted to stay??? Ummm no he jumped at the chance when Penn state offered him the job. Also last I checked Jamie hired those same coaches he is being accused of making leave right? So please stfu
