Most ISU fans would likely tell you Pollard doesn't give a rip about wrestling. His extension of KJ confirms the low expectations. If Jackson keeps his team relatively free of the police blotter, I think he's there for quite some time. Fan support is pretty poor, but I doubt ISU wrestling EVER came close to breaking even, financially.
What does a new coach get them? Back to the top 10 in five years?

Haha. Amigo is Spanish for "friend", unnecessary personal note, I just got back from Mexico so that's still my default. Would it have been classless if I called you "friend" or "buddy"? If it is, me-thinks you are just looking for a reason to get upset with me. If you think amigo is name calling, you are mistaken.
I guess we are just going to have to disagree that there are plenty of coaches that want the job and could 100% do a better job in Ames. If Pollard felt/knew that, he certainly wouldn't have extended KJ recently. I understand you want change, but if you can't see my argument where a college's administration probably isn't going to fire their coach they just gave an extension to and who at the very least has a good recruiting class, we can conclude our conversations. Clearly you aren't willing to even look at the other side of the coin, which is all I am pointing out. I am not advocating for KJ to keep his job, I am just saying an argument can be made to keep KJ another year.
If someone like Pariano, Lou Rosselli, Hahn, or Casey Cunningham - one of the big name hires - are interested I am not saying it would be a bad thing. Heck even if they wanted to promote Paulson that could be the answer. I just was trying to say unless something goes horribly wrong, I personally don't see ISU making a change this season.
I agree with HawkTalk, Pollard will NOT make a change this year. He just hired a new basketball and football coach. The last thing he wants to do is find another new coach in a sport he knows nothing about. And then there's the whole extension aspect too....
Of course he won't get rid of him this year. If you're stupid enough to give him an extension, why would you bother. I would imagine any talk of a new Wrestling Coach is right behind needing a new stapler and some more paper clips on Pollards list of things to do.
