That's probably being too kind where this whole thing with Gene Chizik is concerned...But here's Pollard, the jilted one ((pictured thanks, Rodney White/Des Moines Register)) telling anyone and everyone what Iowa State University's mood is at present...
And it ain't pretty...
From Andrew Logue at the Des Moines Register newspaper...
Pollard learned of Chizik’s candidacy for the Auburn vacancy after receiving a call from Tigers’ athletic director Jay Jacobs.It came while Pollard was watching the Cyclone volleyball team play Northern Iowa on Dec. 5 in Minneapolis.
“I knew he wasn’t calling me to go play golf,” Pollard said.
Chizik interviewed on Thursday, then left a voice mail with Pollard that evening, saying he was not taking the job.When they spoke on Friday, Chizik told Pollard he would call Auburn and withdraw his name.
Pollard tried to contact Chizik a few hours later, but the coach was unavailable.
“He told me on Friday night they had offered him the job,” Pollard said. “Saturday, late afternoon, I got the phone call saying he accepted the job.”
