Chizik Told Pollard Twice He's Staying...

So much for that idea...

In a press conference today in Ames, Iowa on the ISU campus, Cyclones AD Jamie Pollard told the media that he was informed twice by Gene Chizik he was not leaving.

We know what happened...

Pollard says he hired Chizik in large part because of his character and values. He also says he's having a hard time reconciling Chizik's recent actions with the character he had shown the past two years.

Pollard says Chizik interviewed at Auburn last Thursday and told him afterward that he wouldn't take the job.

Chizik called Pollard on Saturday to tell him he was leaving.
Neat...

Our coverage from our friends at WOI-TV and myabc5.com continues with the standard fan piece expressing the standard amount of wonder and displeasure...
Hillary Mintz has the honors...

Followed by the full interview Dave Wazilinski had with Chizik before he bolted...
