Pollard got a break last night not long after the Gill story spun out. If things pan out today the process moves to a critical stage and his goal if having a new Cyclone coach by Saturday. Two key boosters huddled last night, and while frustrated like everyone else, they are behind Jamie. Pollard is juggling a delicate balance; he needs ‘ the right guy’ and NEEDS to create a buzz. Chizik was, again, the Right Guy, and the buzz was minimal. Jamie has played that card and now he needs to deliver both. Last night, alas, his run of bad luck, may have finally turned for the better.
Shortly after 1:00 pm (Iowa time) we’ll hope for an update.

We need some big donors and Alum to pony up and get this program where it belongs a Big 12 team to deal with!!
Don't worry boys Farley-Loney won't ever grace the sidelines at Jack Trice Stadium while coaching your beloved Clones!!
I would like to see what Todd Graham or Kevin Sumlin could do at ISU...Both should be able to recruit Texas and put together a game plan that was much better than anything that loser Cheese Dip Chizik ever came up with on game day!!!
When a guy making 200 grand turns us down you know we are really at the bottom of the heap on the coaching carousel...
We a good hire we could win maybe 5-6 games next season and get ready for some really good bowl games in the future!!
IMO it'll be goodbye & sayanora to Jamie Pollard if this next coach doesnt win!!!!

I couldn't agree more. If I had a plethora of money, I'd throw down. Maybe Albaugh comes out of the wood work and throws down 10 mil for the coaching search.
Our new head football coach will be at the men’s basketball game on Saturday night. I have no idea who that will be but Fan-up and come out and cheer on the team and welcome the new coach!
I thought it was interesting that his poll about who the next ISU coach should be went like this:
Stoops
Graham
Tuberbville
Hayden Fry (obvious joke/I vomitted in my mouth when I read it)

Who is the coach at BYU? They are good every year. They had a great year this year and they are going to the Las Vega Bowl. Just throwing that out there.
That's fine...turn them in...i'll take them. We don't need anyone jumping on and off the bandwagon. I'll support ISU no matter what. I don't know what's with people thinking we need a rock star hire. I personally don't want anyone who coaches in the south. Because they'll just jump back there when the next best thing opens up...just like Chizik did. I have no problem with Loney whatsoever.
and I would send them to you if it came to pass.
Nothing about a bandwagon.
there are dozens of more qualified coaches out there. these two wouldn't get a mention at any other program.
A coach from the North would be every bit as likely to leave for another job too... Remember Danny Mac would have left us for TCU if they offered... Whats worse?
If this is true it sounds like a couple of boosters may have stepped up to give Jamie more ammunition to get whoever it is he has sights on so that "No thanks" becomes almost impossible.
Supposedly we're supposed to have some sort of update very early this afternoon...but take it for what it's worth...

I hate to say it, but when most coaching candidates hear "Iowa State" the say "Her?!?"
We are really funny and sing well.
I played football at drake 4 years. My senior year was Loney's year at Drake. Trust me that we do not want him as our head coach. I'm sure he was partially "mailing it in" at Drake for that year but we VASTLY underachieved that year. After upsetting Ill St. (a ranked 1aa scholarship school) in the opening game, the rest of our season was a disaster. Our high-power offense from the previous few seasons became just awful under Loney (and yes we ran the same basic offense we had in previous years b/c Drake's former OC Dale Ploessl coached under Loney as a GA at ISU. Just trust me that we do not want him as our coach... We got blown out by a few teams that had the same talent level as us. We got beat by a few teams that we had better talent than and had killed the previous few years.
That said, Loney does love ISU and I really liked him as a person. As a head coach for ISU, I would be very disappointed...
