No doubt Coach Pollack had a great 'track' record and was a heck of a coach, but is everybody that is throwing stones at TDP and questioning Pollack's departure completely ignorant on the events and reasons surrounding his "retirement"? Did any of you read the articles regarding his alledged improprieties?

This is something TDP had knowledge of so I understand the whole thing. In fact I have been close to the track program since the ealry 90's.

Yeah, that was meant more for the rock chuckers calling for TDP's firing. I too have been very close to the track program. I was a member of the track team in the 90's under Pollock, and I have nothing but positive things to say about him. He was a great coach. There are only a select few that are privy to exactly what went on, but, in my view, there must have been some validity to the allegations...I don't think he would have retired otherwise. It's a shame, and I wish Coach Pollock the best. I truly hope that these alleged infractions are false, but, regardless, it's not TDP's "fault" that he retired.

Maybe a stupid question, but do you think this will impact..

football players that run track? Guys like Spencer adams and future commits? I know they come to play football, but I just wonder if this will have any negative impact on that. I doubt it, but thought I might ask you guys' opinions.

If we get the right coach to replace him we will be fine.IMHO we need someone with a national rep that can maintain/keep us where we are now and improve

recruiting without a doubt. For a lot of these guys, track is their first love. We need to make a killer hire to replace Pollock, or it could effect football recruiting.

TDP and Katie Hill have this albatross hung around their necks. Good luck to the man or woman that heads up both programs.

A Big Loss For Clemson
Jun 20, 2008, 3:26 PM
|
|
(Summary from previous articles)The summer camp income was put in the account Pollock thought it should be in. This was done in the open and no one corrected him. A routine audit found the error and Pollick transferred the funds to the correct account. This should have ended it but someone called SLED.
During his 20 years at Clemson pollock has run a clean program. No "minors" no nothing. No compliance problems. Just a model program that recruited well and constantly won.
Note SLED findings and Pollock statement below.
ESPN Reported This:
CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson track coach Bob Pollock announced his retirement Tuesday after a season in which he was accused of depositing money from campus track and field events into a personal account.
Pollock has led the men's track and field program for the last 20 years and will leave the Tigers after the U.S. Olympic Trials early next month.
His final year was marred when he and assistant coach Charles Foster were investigated by the State Law Enforcement Division after accusations they deposited more than $27,000 in personal accounts. Prosecutors said there was not enough evidence to bring charges.
Pollock has denied any wrongdoing.
