[Pennsyhusker]

Good for him. Great coach.

 

[RedBaloneyPony]

If he’s hired away from Iowa state, do they go after up and comer again or retread?

 

[IM4NUalways]

That seems like a real Bears thing to do.

 

[NorthWillRiseAgain]

I don’t see it working, but who knows.

I think he’s a good coach though.

 

[Huskers123456]

Risk/reward. Not worth it IMO. You play in a division with 3 really good coaches.

 

[leodisflowers]

Good for him. Great coach.

Great?

 

[phoenix4nu]

If he’s hired away from Iowa state, do they go after up and comer again or retread?

A successful coach from the FCS would be my guess.

 

[mgbreis]

I really think they’ll go after more of an offensive minded coach.

 

[salsa red]

Would be cool to do a series with iowa state like we did with cu but they have their game with iowa so probably won't happen. Maybe ku or ks would be cool.

That jr high to the east of them should have a seasoned coach available.

 

[RedBaloneyPony]

I don't give two hoots about ISU but if I am looking for a solid coach Id kick the tires on Pat Fitzgerald if there isn't a great up and comer in FCS.

 

[thall_]

would be a stupid hire.

 

[Ki11ersker45]

Nope

 

[Dr_Alan_Grant]

I think the Bears will certainly try their best to do something dumb.

 

[BigRedBugeaters]

Supposedly interviewing with Jets too. Must want to leave ISU

 

[headcard]

Hopefully ISU has a NT and an OT we can pilfer in the portal. I also wonder if Brahmer would want to come home.

I wouldn't blame him for wanting to go to the NFL and getting out of all the chaos in college football now.

 

[Harry Caray]

They'll probably hire the coach at Toledo who is Campbell's protege. Would be a good hire and keep continuity with what Campbell has built.

 

[Charlie Marlow]

Fitzgerald was only good when he had Hankwitz as his DC.

 

[thall_]

possibly an unpopular opinion, but I also don't see Ben Johnson being a homerun hire like many do.

he's great at what he does with the tools at his disposal, but there are a lot of things out of his control that have been made for him.

i actually think Kliff Kingsbury would be a great hire if they want to achieve immediate success with that roster.

 

[RedBaloneyPony]

Fitzgerald was only good when he had Hankwitz as his DC.

What’s hankwitz doing these days?

 

[Harry Caray]

What’s hankwitz doing these days?

He's like 80 years old I think he's retired

 

[NebChicago]

This is like the Bulls hiring Hoiberg. It’s Bears-Hoiberg.

It’s stupid

 

[drubendall]

This is a pretty good move. Take the Bears money because you’re gonna flame out anyway with that shit stain of an organization, then go get another good D1 job and make another truckload of cash.

There’s no losing here, only winning.

 

[AVeritas]

would be shame to lose campbell out of the b12. he's a solid coach with great ethics and family. hopefully, he doesn't mess with happy by going to chicago.

This hits a little close to home

Except for the Bears. These moves have been followed by a lot of losing generally, at least recently.

Might be neat but we don’t need to get embarrassed by ISU KSU or KU.

Yeah **** that. There’s no incentive to schedule iffy OOC games

 

[TFrazier]

Maybe Campbell is angling for another pay raise from the Clones AD.
