Wasn't particularly impressed with him last year when ISU ran for a billion yards on Toledo.
At what point do we start pointing at Pollard?
Pollard's football history at ISU:
1. Fire a man who by most evaluations was a very mediocre coach, but who was able to rebuild a program from little and give ISU success in the early 2000's.
2. Hire a guy who said he was willing to give Iowa State a winning tradition, but then leaves after two season that were as miserable as this one.
3. Hired an Alumni favorite to coach. That coach initially has a great amount of success, but after loosing his first OC, fails to hire a new coordinator with any kind of experience until it is too late. (one must wonder why Rhoads hired from within, instead of luring a new OC to lead the program). Of course, we all know how that final season went with OC and HC.
4. Hired a new coach who..well we can evaluate him in a number of ways, but in the end, W-L record and quality of performance in the beginning of the season, and at the end of the season vs opponents that 'should' be easy wins is all we really need to look at.
I'm not sure we can let Campbell go after one season, but I feel the writing is on the wall for Pollard. I hope he moves on of his own accord.

It seems we always play to our level of competition. Up vs. better teams, down to bad teams. the latter is infuriating.
That was a good timeout by the coaches, the D, settled down after that...
For the greater good of humanity, these two teams should not play each other on TV. I have faith in Campbell long term, but oh boy...
