This makes no sense.

McCarney's last year was horrible, and the year before that wasn't much better. The program was going no where fast, and it appeared McCarney was not going to make any changes to his staff. Recruiting had fallen off tremendously. And yet it appears you wanted more of the same, is that correct?

Auburn hires a coach away from ISU. How is this Pollard's fault?

Which brings us to Rhoads. This was a great hire. Too bad it couldn't have been two years ago. But Rhoads may not have wanted the job then. Instead, he hired someone who nobody in the world thought ISU could get.

I may not agree with everything Pollard has done, but you seem to have taken it to a personal level.

What shook me up concerning Jamie was the fact that he offered a contract extension to Chizik at the end of last season, in spite of the last two years, and considering the players now coming out critical about the Chizik regime. Huh??????

So.... how long does it take to get these media day podcasts up on KXNO.com?

The only one that interests me enough to listen to this morning is Miller and Deace's conversation about ISU football... and that one kind of scares me.

What are looking for exactly? We need to put up both the Iowa St and Iowa media day sounds...Big 12 is up already

I was just looking for the ISU media day interviews. I heard most of Tiller, and the entire PR conference when you replayed them on the show on Wednesday, but I missed Arnaud and anyone else you may have had before that. I would like to have a podcast of PR's speech so I can listen to it again anyways.

That, I guess, is one of the many mysteries surrounding Pollard and Chiz.

I think as an AD you have to listen to what players are telling you when you are making decisions, but you can't make it look like you are cowtowing them, either. Maybe none of the players went to Pollard about their concerns, I don't know, but you do bring up a very valid point.

Oh well, Auburn did ISU a favor by hiring Chiz. I look forward to the Paul Rhoads era at ISU.

What exactly have the players said about the Mean Gene Machine? All I have heard was that they were bitter he left and that they were walking on eggshells all the time. Any other details?

So am I missing something on the podcast page, or are the ISU media day clips still not up yet? I guess if you guys can hold out a couple more weeks, the season will start and no one will care. Or maybe I'm the only one that even cares now.

It's customary to give a returning coach an extension so he can recruit effectively whether he deserves it or not.

Doesn't mean he wouldn't have gotten canned in a couple of years anyway if he wasn't producing.

My apologizes....miscommunication internally....both Iowa AND Iowa St sound was suppose to be put up...hopefully will be done today...

**cyclonefan59** · 08-13-2009, 12:33 PM

Who is CYBOBBY??? He sounds like a hok plant. It amazes me the number of hok fans that are on this site constantly...is there not a free hok site or do they secretly love the clones?

Oh, but it was. Down the tubes. While I didn't want to see him fired, he didn't have a chance of turning it around--the talent wasn't there.

Fortunately, Chizik offered a substantial talent infusion before he left--for which we should all be grateful. Not for much more, but for that.

Matt- you guys have GOT to be kidding. You finally have Iowa State media day listed under the podcasts, along with Iowa (which has been up for awhile now even though their media day was AFTER ISU's) but BOTH titles link to Iowa's media day.

I know you're on your vacation to your beloved homeland but I'm sure you can't stay away from Cyclonefanatic the whole time you're gone, and I trust you'll contact someone back at the station to remedy this immediately.

Honestly these media day podcasts weren't that big of a deal to me when you first said you'd put them on the website, but this has turned into such a cluster **** I'm not going to let it drop! That's how I roll.
