drunk ISU coach is retiring
- Thread starter QChawks
- Start date
So he ran off the meal ticket and then quit himself.
lol. Nice.

That's a long time at one school. He's been a good coach
Fennelly likely knows a new AD would have gotten rid of him after the upcoming season.
His "player abuse" isn't exactly a well kept secret.
The other thing here is the rest of his family on staff are likely gone as well.
The new HC better not be JennyB!

I suspect he can sense that this season is not going to go well for his team and wanted to get ahead of the fans/administration pushing him to leave
Agreed overall he has done a good job for ISU IMO
It's been known quite a while this was his final year. He prob should have quit sooner.
He's been there since 1995. Most winning women's basketball coach in the B12. He's getting to leave on his own terms.

Yep, and if they would have canned him after they were eliminated from the tourney last spring, he apparently had a $750k buyout.
ISU didn't have the resources to fire his drunk azz last March.
They probably did, that would be like firing kirk for having a bad year due to injuries with 1 year left on his contract. You either can him and shid on a legacy coach, or you just let him finish it out. Kirk will get to finish it out.
Personally, he should have been gone once Audi and everyone else jumped in the portal, but that's what 25 years buys you.
ISU doesn't have the funds. Rumor on ISU board says BF was "only" making $700-800k.
That's also why they likely look for a mid major HC replacement.
It makes sense he was only making that much if he buyout was only $750k.
It's common knowledge ISU is having $ problems, but $750k is not that much and they could have found it if they wanted to.
It’s funny to think about the financial situation over there. With the AD and former football coach practically begging the Governor for funds, I wouldn't be surprised to see Jamie Pollard standing at a busy intersection holding up a cardboard sign looking for donations.
Why would the Former AD Pollard be on a Street Corner begging for Donations to a Program he is no longer affiliated with?
Iowa State needs to concentrate on men’s basketball and if anything is left…football.
The rest of the sports I would operate on a shoestring budget.
lots of schools will need to make some tough decisions because they don’t have a sugar daddy and are not on Big Ten / SEC

Not shocking … ISU hasn’t done much lately - lost 3/4 of its roster including Audi … new AD … yeah - writing on the wall … That program needs a kick start
