ISU football: Cyclones positively pumped after solid finish | DesMoinesRegister.com | The Des Moines Register

decent interview of chizik. i like what he has to say about year 1 and improving in the coming years.

""There's a lot of notes I jot down after every game that are notes to self," Chizik said. "I'll go back over those. ... I'm not sure I made the right calls on everything.

"I've got a lot of room to grow."

"I'm sure I've screwed my share of things up," Chizik said.


God - you gotta love that guy. No excuses. Doesn't hold himself on a pedestal. Doesn't need to have is AD cover his arse saying "he's learning on the job".

However, I take a little exception to "...subtle signs of progress". Maybe I'm wearing the cardinal and gold glasses and taking seconds and thirds on the Kool-Aid. But the progress was anything but subtle. In fact, it walked up to Row 19 in Sec N and cracked me right across the jaw.

That was 10x the team weeks 10 and 11 than it was 1 and 2.
