Then every ISU coach that we have ever hired is a quitter on the team that they left to come here.

Coach McDerrmott is a huge quitter too then. Im gonna go outside his house and yell at him. Who is with me? That scumbag.

You are right. There are better jobs than ISU. WHat everyone is angry about is his arrogance and abuse. He abused our good will while he lined his buddies pockets, gave a personal half *** effort, all while lip servicing integrity, honor, and team.

He was using these kids to better himself. He wasn't serving them he's abused them. Next question?

Remember the most important thing... film that ****

I don't know exactly why, but this made me laugh.

Oh dear. . .

I am with the crowd that says he's not worthy of my time. I've got better things to do. If I went I would be thanking him for leaving, he obviously wasn't right for Iowa State and sparring us any more years of complete deterioration.

I feel like I might actually be embarrassed for knowing you guys are going out there to heckle him and his family.

well said.

complete apples to oranges. and if you don't see that, well......

Isn't it pretty much common knowledge that coaches move on when better jobs come along ??

I hope nobody here has ever quit a job because a better one came along. I would go and yell at you and your kids as you leave town too.

It has been said about a million times that it isn't that he is leaving, it is his timing/how he is doing it. If he stuck around next year and won us a BCS game, I would be like "See ya coach, thank you for everything! I hope you have success", instead he did a half-a**ed job and left after 2 years.

I look at it this way: you hire someone to build you a house from scratch. They lay the foundation and put up the walls and it doesn't look the best yet but it is better than the nothing you started with. Then a millionair comes and asks that guy to build him a house for double (dispite the fact the dude has never built a house, just helped out on a few others), and he leaves your house with just the foundation and walls up. Yeah, he got that far so I guess it isn't so bad and you only pay him for the little amount of work he did do but wouldn't you be like "Dude, I paid for a complete house, I want my complete house!" I would...

[Longhorns3131]

He screwed everybody, what do you expect?!?!?

[zmanzbo]

Id go to give him congrats on such a great job he landed. I love ISU, but this is the freaking SEC. Not just that a team that is REALLY good in the SEC.

Wow you suck

[ajk4st8]

I totally get why we are all upset with Chizik. I am upset too. The guy left us when we totally needed him. I do think that if Tuberville was not fired at Auburn, that GC would have given our program great effort next season as well.

All I want a coach to do is work as hard as they can while they are here. It appears to me he did that. Thats why all the players loved him when he was here.


I guess I just hate the Victim attitude that ISU fans have. Just move on. You think most ISU fans would have thicker skin by now.

[zmanzbo]

I just don't get how he QUIT. The season was over. Was he supposed to stay here forever??

Suck even more.....

[zmanzbo]

Tell the guys on the team to grow a pair and realize that their former coach move onto bigger and better things.

I hate that Chizik left the way he did too, but you people make it seem like he is the first coach to take a better job somewhere.

Terrible

Greg could have left UNI, after they made the dance for his 1st time, he did not because UNI was is Dream Job and Ala mater.

Couple years later after the 3rd trip in a row, More schools came calling, he then choose to advance his career.

He chose ISU because he is a Iowan, and loved the State and Family was close by.

To compare GC and GM is ridiculous, he left his Top Asstiant in position to run the program at UNI, that he still cares about and donates money to.

GC, was very unprofessional in the way he handled this move, was it not less than a month ago he was saying that he was sorry he ever took the job....? Then tells his team last Sunday (Football Banquet) he would be here, when he was looking to jump ship....?

It is too cold.

OMG. This not the same as just some coach getting a better job somewhere. This is about a guy who came to ISU with clear objectives and goals. He sold the school, the team, the players, the community to 18-19 year old kids. Most of our recruits may have had better offers. Chizik told them to come to Ames - take a chance, I will take care of you.

He left without accomplishing ANYTHING - for a job he doesn't deserve. He left because he is one of the good old boys down South who reward you not for accolades on the field, but because they "feel in their gut" that you are the right guy.

Its total BS. He let us all down. He is a quitter. And, if he has any integrety at all - he knows it.

bull ****. !!!

he was negotiating a contract on my time...time he was to be recruiting for our team, getting coordinators in place for our team, getting results for our team...not the gene team. he created this; he played the "integrity and honor" card...to bad he doesn't have any in his hand.

[cycloneman003]

ajk4st8....

just stop. you arent going to make anyone happy if you keep going. our players wouldnt be so mad if he didnt betray them like this. i care a hell of a lot more about our team than their former coach.
