Truly lucky to have him as an AD as a small market school. Dude has an incredible eye for coaching talent

He's so corny but I'll admit I'll miss his corny personality.

For the end of the video, shouldn't they have used a Cardinal color background instead of a Black background?

Considering the I STATE logo and a weird emphasis on using black and white are staples of his tenure, I think it’s pretty on the nose.

In an interview earlier this year, Pollard said he is a traditionalist, and should have stepped in and made the football team wear cardinal and gold during the Fiesta Bowl game, regretting the team wore black uniforms. It's from an interview with We Are Iowa Local 5 news station.

I don't like the guy. But, he's had a vision and sure can pick coaches.

Cael was always gonna walk, we did not have the funds to win a bidding war against Penn State

He was CONSTANTLY pushing for ISU to be a winning culture and didn't care if it ruffled feathers. Easy A+ grade for his overall performance. We need to find a new JP who has that same attitude but for the new reality (like it or not) that this is just professional sports now.
