He got Chizzed (LIED TO).

More like very bad advice from a dad that could not let his son live his own life.

Probably a little bit of both. Chizik probably didn't do a good job of managing the kids expectations and made promises he couldn't keep. From what we have heard, he treated his players more like employees than anything else. A coach like CPR might have been able to convince him to stick it out and maybe make a switch to contribute more.

PBs dad didn't help anything though.

When it all went down, I was really ticked at Phil. He basically quit on his team. However, from what we know now about Chizik, I can see where some of the animosity may have come from.


Too bad, the kid was a terrific athlete.

Is his father okay with this?

Cameron Bell was another guy who transferred and signed with an NFL team. Was at LB for ISU then moved to RB/FB at N. Illinois. Keep an eye on former ISU Beau Blankenship also. Had a big season for Ohio last year, and is a Sr. this year. He could possibly get a shot at the NFL as well. Does anyone know if Jeremiah Schwartz is still playing for Hampton?
