[gocy444]

[cyclonedave25]

[zimman18]

At least 1 person is happy out of this ordeal... selfish *****

[RyCy04]

Short answer: No
Long answer: No, sir.

That is what I was thinking. He never really showed any enthusiasm for the job at ISU. He was going to leave as soon as he could, and boy did he. Thankfully.

Even at the rally when he was announced, I thought he looked clueless, uncomfortable, and stunned - as did his wife. Almost like, "I know nothing about this place and don't really care. But what I do know is that I'm getting paid a million bucks a year, so whatever."

Kind of how he and his whole staff looked on the sidelines during games.

Keep in mind, he didn't need to win over our fanbase. He is heading to Auburn with a 5-19 HCing record and HAS to win people over.

I hate him for this mess he put us in....

Agreed. He had us at "Hello", but not Auburn.

There are a number of people magically showing up in the "I never liked Gene" camp. Where were they before?

I was fooled by him. Up until last week, I still believed in him. I did not like only 5 wins or the loses to Kent State, UNI, Toledo and UNLV - nor the lost to KU this year.

But I felt he could get it done. Fooled me - will admit it.

I thought the business-like attitude was just how he operated.

Chiznutless has caused me to lose a little faith in collegiate athletics. He's also caused me guilt, guilt in that our fanbase gave that a-hole more respect than DMac. We actually came to games we knew we were going to lose and probably lose big.

I thought as the days went on my anger would lessen, but it hasn't, it's only intensified. I hate Chiznutless and I hate the word hate. If I were a gypsy I'd put a curse on that a-hole. I hope he fails and fails badly.

At this point Im over it. Everyone in the nation knows his true colors now. Its all in his lap. Good luck Jamie, bring us a man who can win games and has a heart for Ames.

I don’t understand that, “I’m home” stuff. Chizik is from Clearwater, FL and a graduate of the University of Florida. Auburn is 460 miles (7 ½ hour drive) from Clearwater. I don’t say, “I’m home” when I’m in Minneapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis, or Chicago; or when I'm at the University of Iowa.

Maybe just getting out of the North's cold winter weather is enough to say he is home.
