Gene Smith was a good AD in my opinion.
Thank god.
I think we need to realize that if James Pollard (please quit ruining ISU athletics) hires a name that everyone is throwing around right now they won't be at ISU if they have success.
I can't believe we are sucking up to Pollard. He crashed this plane...
Well while we're all at home enjoying the holidays with our family... JP will be working due to this mess.
I can't believe anybody is complaining about Pollard. There were VERY FEW people who complained about the chizik hire and most were estatic. Sometime's people get unlucky... did anybody here predict that Chizik was going to pull the stunt he did. How can we expect that Pollard KNEW he was going to do this... and all the EXPERTS said Chizik was a spectacular hire when it happened.
Don't call Pollard out if you've got nothing to back it up. Other than an unlucky hire with Chizik (who's to say any of the other options would have done better) what has Pollard done wrong for ISU? I think McD was and is the perfect hire for us (you can't call his character out... and those who actually follow the team can see there's improvements being made). He's setting us up for year's to come... if we had a new AD come in... he'll look amazing due to the things JP has done to put us in a good position.
Thats right, I'm thinking of the basketball transition.He hired him a couple weeks after the season.
Mac announced with 2 or 3 weeks left that he was done.
Those calling Pollard out are the vocal EDUCATED minority.
You forgot a word.
Agreed. Chizik at the time looked like a great hire. The best we could get. All the "experts" wondered why he would agree to go to ISU, instead of waiting for a job not unlike Auburn. I was sort of in camp Kelly...hoping we could get Brian. Turns out JP tried that route. Can't say I really disagree with anything JP has done there.Well while we're all at home enjoying the holidays with our family... JP will be working due to this mess.

Those bashing JP need to get a life. JP was brought in because he was brave enought to take on ISU's task at hand...so go ahead and bite the hand that is trying to improve things. I am glad he is here and trying to help, unlike the guy that just left. Last time I check, we all make mistakes and get punk'd. JP and the team got punk'd by GC.
