USC and Floyd

[Cydkar]

What about a certain Iowa State football coach who left for a more high profile job and nearly a 100% pay increase? Where is your "Good for Gene" post???

Gene leaving was a no-brainer. It's the way he left that makes him a dickweed.

The schizophrenic Hawk strikes again!

Yup, same exact situations. I mean, Gene performed just as well as Floyd did here...

The big difference between the two that you seem to be missing is that Floyd actually produced some good results at ISU for ISU...Chizik not so much.

I think most of us realized that Chizik saw ISU as a stepping stone (which I personally have no problem with) but we just expected that he would need to produce good results at ISU for ISU before he would be given the opportunity to move on.

I'm not missing the difference at all. If Gene was using us as a steppingstone, he is going to go as soon as he gets the chance. Nowhere is it written that he has to win a certain number of games before he gets the opportunity to move on.

And you can't blame Gene for taking the job, after all, it's not his fault that Auburn made the mistake of offering it to him. What did you expect Gene to do, tell Auburn "thanks for the offer of a bigger job and 100% raise, but I don't deserve it until I win at least 4 games at ISU"?
