Gene Chizik to be Honored at Iowa State's Hall of Fame Weekend

When the Iowa State Daily reported yesterday that Dan McCarney, Jamaal Tinsley and Megan Taylor would return to Ames for the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, the list of inductees was not yet complete. In a statement released today, it was revealed the fourth and final member of the Hall of Fame class would be former head football coach, Gene Chizik.

While Chizik only amassed a 5-19 record at ISU before being whisked away to Auburn, where he bough--I mean landed prized recruit Cam Newton before winning a National Championship, Jamie Pollard still is insistent Chizik may be his greatest hire to date.
