His point is that many who honestly, at heart, don't care about this are just using it as a reason to jump off of the "woe is ISU" cliff.
Both programs underwent player attrition when the coaches came. Fact. Both programs have higher ticket sales than ever before. Fact. Both programs are getting higher recruits more consistently than in recent history. Fact. Both programs are rebuilding. Fact.
That's one to four.
So they'll win more this year right?
Wonder what we pay Pollard per win verses any other AD in the country?
Winning is far more important than any of those. How long do you honestly think ticket sales and recruits will continue to come at the current pace?
And for the record, FB has not really experienced much attrition. Basketball has. And it's continued each and every year Greg and JP have been here.
5 years at $500k per
im sure tom brands would have went too if that was who psu targeted- it's life-changing money

Do I think we'll win more in MBB if Brackins leaves? Unlikely. I am curious how that has anything to do with the athletic director, however. I'm also curious exactly what control the AD exerts over practices and game-time coaching...

A better AD wouldn't let us recruit and coach guys like Craig Brackins. Nobody wants guys that improve, do what they're supposed to do, and forget to get into trouble.
Yes, we're back to the argument of player attrition having anything to do with the AD, whom they see incredibly rarely.
I seem to remember the days when some posters would say, "Oh, I'll just fire off an e-mail to my buddy JP quickly," since they had such a man crush on him and the hires he'd brought in. That good old hindsight is 20/20 again.
Fact, ISU Athletic Directors have:
let Johnny Majors move to Pitt (oh yes, he did win the National Championship there)
let Earle Bruce to to Ohio State (three straight bowls there)
let Dan Gable go to Iowa (he did win the Natl Championship, how many times?)
let Tim Floyd go to the Bulls
Coaches leave for other opportunities, and it's not the ADs fault.

And here we are back to ignoring the ultimate important factor - the continued losing.
I've e-mailed Pollard at different times over the years...what's your point? Not once did I call him a buddy - but maybe my memory escape me - have a whirl with the search feature.
You're beating that word hindsight more than Pee-Wee Herman abuses his monkey.
He is the DIRECTOR OF THE ATHLETICS.
He's paid to make them better. They suck - all time worst drought in winning under any AD.
"Uhhh," what? It's the AD's job to attend all practices and coach the team? Be in the huddle drawing up game plans?
Or, wait, is he just supposed to trust the coaches who he brought in, coaches who were seen by these very same posters (and the vast majority of the fan base) as great hires, coaches who were being wined and dined by bigger/better programs? Oh, yeah, I guess that's why they're called the "coach."
tom or terry? cuz if ISu hired terry it could possibly be a reverse dan gable effect- at the very least it would make that rivalry even bigger
