Not trying to compare. Just curious as to what the responses to the question would have been.
I think your sanity would have been questioned seeing as we had sucked while he was here.

YES I WOULD SHOOT MYSELF
He has implied this is as good as it gets for him right now though. That may change but right now I htink he has no more he wants to accomplish than to make this program successful. We found the one guy capable of success in CFB that actually wants to be here.
What if a premier program came callling? Would you hold it against him for going?
We had a football coach who took us to an unprecedented 5 bowl games in 7 years, Pollard fired him after one year with no postseason play.
We had a basketball coach who took us to an NCAA tournament, an NIT tournament, and won 55 games in his first 3 years with 3 winning seasons, and Pollard fired him after one year with no postseason play.
Rhoads knows that ISU is not going to go to bowl games every year forever. What happens if he has a good run and then has a 3 or 4 win season? Unless we give him a McDermott-like contract that prevents him from getting canned, nobody should blame him if he does what's best for himself, given his boss' track record.
We did? You mean the coach that won 5 game in two seasons.
Let's not pretend this would be the same thing.
How come you give BVV credit for Macs bowl games but you don't give Pollard credit for Fennelly's and Johnson's success?
We're talking about Rhoads here, not Pollard - I know it is difficult for you, but try to stay focused!
I wouldn't blame him at all. It's not like ISU is his alma mater. This is college sports, if he gets a good opportunity it might not come again.
If he won the same amount of games as Chizik this year and next year we'd be all about getting rid of him. And if we have a tough year next year with a really tough schedule some people will be chirping already. These coaches can't afford to be too loyal and I don't blame them one bit.
Read it again and try to comprehend, man. Say the words out loud if you have to.

No. He's given his heart and soul to this job and if he can get into a better financial situation for him and his family, more power to him. I'll always root for him.
I would hold it against him based on the fact that he would be a liar. I hold someones word very highly even if it is, "just business." If you plan on leaving don't coat everything in sugar.
I think you could find a way to turn any thread into a Pollard bashing!
OK, here is the challenge: A thread on Dolly Parton's cup size. Let's see you turn that into a Pollard bashing.
Too easy, dude.
Dolly's a DD. That's the same initials as Darius Darks, who played at the spring game that THE GREAT SATAN, JAMIE POLLARD set up. Had he not played in that game, set up purely for the greed of the AD, he might have been healthy for the start of the season, somehow giving us more wins.
(that's all I could come up with in a short time. I had something promising going with Dodie Dunson, but couldn't finish it, and I couldn't think of anything to day about Doug Dedrick)
You got to give Monty a REAL challenge...like...let's see...relating JP to the time dilation of a relativistic particle.
(Free rep if you can actually find a way to relate time dilation to JP)
