It is. But can you tear yourself away from it? Seriously, ever time I think I've seen it all, this program does itself one better. Honestly, if ISU were a mortuary no one would die.
Thats funny! Nice visual!

Gene burned a lot of bridges with this, not only with the entire ISU family but with the two coaches he fired and his two 'friends' that he demoted.
Way ahead of ya.:yes:I'm gettin drunk, screw finals...cheers! Anyone with me?
This is an interesting statement. At least it was a quick cut if this is indeed it.
I feel sorry for the current players and committed recruits he's lied to, if this is true.
Everyone, you all need to start going to volleyball games. Our team kicks serious ***. It actually makes you feel good.
Chizik is/was a great coach and we love him as a fanbase. Let him do whats best for himself and his family without all of the sour grapes.
As a coach he made some mistakes and whos to say he wouldn't make more? I've seen coaches hired at the same time do better jobs in shorter time at programs similar to ISU. Who is to say Chizik wasn't the right guy for THIS job.. Maybe he sees that. Perhaps this is a second chance for us to find the right guy.
I have faith he isn't going to cut and run leaving ISU high and dry. If he does leave, he will leave with class, and we should afford him that dignity as fans.
Godspeed in your decision, Gene.
Everyone needs to put the knives down.......
Leaving for Auburn is a no brainer for him. He said that he wouldn't be leaving ISU until he built a winning program because he believed that no one would hire him unless he won some games. Well, the suiters came calling a bit before the W's started piling up.
You need to take a long hard look in the mirror if you think that you wouldn't do the same thing.

NEWS BULLETIN: NO ONE GIVE A CRAP ABOUT VOLLEYBALL!!!
yeah... i have a feeling we are gonna lose out pretty badly on our recruiting class. A lot of those guys said they really like Chiziks honesty and the way he was building the program... not so much anymoreThose "committed" recruits won't be so committed now. Who would keep their commitment to a program without an offensive coordinator, without a defensive coordinator, and a head coach who is interviewing elsewhere?
I'm gonna second that the volleyball games were a lot of fun to go to...NEWS BULLETIN: NO ONE GIVE A CRAP ABOUT VOLLEYBALL!!!
blah ... blah ... blah... screw him!!

Wow, so much for these comments a month ago....
"I want to make one thing very, very clear," Chizik said. "You guys have been reporting on me for a year and a half and anybody that knows myself, my wife, my family, they know that we are firmly entrenched here in Ames.
"We love this university, we love who we work for, we love this football team, we love this community."
"We're on a journey here that we will get done," Chizik said. "I'm as happy as I've ever been in the coaching profession."

If he is leaving it says alot about him as a human being and what his words mean. If that's the case he isn't the type of individual I want leading Iowa State because if it wasn't Auburn it would be South Carolina or someone else next season, better we learn this now.
If this is true, I'm done with ISU for a while. This athletic department is a run-away train heading for an open ravine.
As far as Chizik goes, if this is true then he is worthless. How can a man preach integrity and leave a program in such horrible shape the second another school comes calling.
