Surprise!

You are always a surprising guy, Mr. Pollard.

Fortunately for Fred this is the only window where this kind of hire can be made. You don't throw a rookie into a job when the program has momentum, but when it needs a full reboot.

The talking heads have it right- his staff will be the key. There is probably a semi-retired head coach out there who wouldn't mind being the brains of the staff for a few years, able to mentor a young buck with potential.

We're pulling for you, Fred. We're all in this together.

Wow

That isn't the rabbit I expected- way to surprise us, Greg!

I have to agree with Keeler on this one. Mac just didn't fit at ISU. I hope he's awesome at Creighton.

And the search begins.

Hat, Meet Rabbit

When you look at the data in this fine Clone Chronicles post, Mac has to pull one heck of a rabbit out of his hat to be coach in September 2011.

The fail rate of DI coaches has to be north of 75%, and we're about to add to that.
