Feel like this might've been a tad awkward.

SIAP.

PS. Chizik is a fairly interesting and entertaining follow on Twitter. Especially his recent posts about owning his status of Helicopter Dad by joining his daughters on their spring break trip to Mexico

The Chizik thing has to be awkward, considering how he left.

I mean sure, at the time im sure it was.

At the same time, its hard to blame him. He was sitting at 5-19, and who knows where it goes from there if things don't get better in a year or two. He gets an absolute dream job offer, with double the money annually and an extension of years. Plus it got him back to an area of the country he was clearly more comfortable in.

I would take that offer in a heartbeat, and I imagine 99% of people would take that as well. I would guess, after any hurt feelings in the moment, Jamie understands it was just business and an offer that was nearly impossible to refuse.

Nope. Not forgiving the Chiz. Gonna take a few more years to forget about how he pi$$ed all over ISU. #phony

Auburn ... the camp for Iowa State refugees!
Chizik, Leath and Bruce Pearl....and I thought the SEC was supposed to be a high integrity, upstanding organization. Wonder if Leath flies the university plane so Pearl can visit with shoe companies and agents?

Wow. The only way Pollard could possibly stand all this is knowing he's the only winner out of the group. Eesh.

So a picture with VEISHEA killer/plane crasher, Mr. firmly entrenched, and an all around loser who creates fake usernames on this website to defend himself. Count me out!

I wonder if Chiz and Pollard have spoken since his departure or if this is the first time....

Hard to believe it has been almost a decade since Chiz left.
