...we will look pretty desperate shelling out nearly $16 million (to fire Riley and to pay Campbell's buyout) just to offer a 7-5 coach from ISU a contract. I know he has two good wins but I also just watched him give KSU a win.
I know money is not an issue, but...
- Thread starter jrhuskerdad
- Start date
We owe Riley $6.6 million and Campbell has a $9.4 million buyout. That's $16 million before a contract is even thrown into the mix...I hope this is smoke screen or FootballScoop playing us for clicks

Campbell doesn't even have an agent, so I'd love to know who their "sources" are. I don't see Moos paying almost $10 million just to buy out a 7-5 coach. That money could be better spent giving Frost a higher offer....hell, buy him his own private jet for that money.
Keep in mind Campbell is working with Rhoads recruits who averaged about 70th on recruiting sites. Imagine how he will do with his own players?
Frost will have plenty of access to a private jet and he doesn't have to pay the pilot.
I continue to not understand why our fanbase takes high interest in Iowa State's head coaches. Is it because we know we can grab them away?
Paul Rhoads was highly thought of... simply because Nebraska butter fingers gave away a game and he was emotional. He didn't pan out and wouldn't have for us either. I don't see Campbell being the magic bullet for us either.
