Would have more success at Iowa State

[BryceC]

74-111 40% winning % since Pollard came to Ames
ISU all time winning % is 45%
ISU winning % since 1970 is 41% (229-323)

Looks like Jamie has basically done what every other ISU AD has done over the last 50 years, and is worse than what the history of ISU says it is. Can you name an AD that would still have a job with 15 years under his belt, is on his 3 head football coach, and still only has a 40% winning %?

Other schools laugh at the way Pollard has made the ISU fan base his cult with these results.

Average football attendance went from about 46k to about 56k for an average under him.
Average basketball attendance went from about 11k to about 14k for an average under him.

How many AD's would keep their jobs after 15 years increasing the attendance in the two revenue sports by 21% and 27%? 100% of them would.

Like it or not Pollard does a ton of good drumming up excitement among the fan base. You may think it's dumb and cheesy... but it works.

Pollard's schtick will run its course. It's cute to fans now but once the honeymoon phase is over it will become god awful annoying.

Pollard has been at ISU 15 years. That's a hell of a honeymoon phase.

Thanks for proving my point Bryce. Pollard has Completely fooled the ISU fan base, there is not doubting that. ISU fans absolutely worship the guy even though his results are exactly what ISU has been over the last 50 years. It is all because he is King Lil Brother troll of a Lil Brother trolling fan base. That is why ISU fans worship a guy who has given them no better results wise than they have had for the last 50 years.

I think he's done a good job. If that equals worship, well I guess crown him.

ISU fans have certainly crowned him, nobody outside of the ISU fan base sees him as anything other than a con artist. 74-111, 40% winning % over 15 years, and you guys worship him. LOLOL. Heck Iowa fans are sick of Barta, but at least he puts a winning product on the field 112-68, 62% winning % over 14 years.
