This is what happens when you wait too long to jump to a better job. He's had other opportunities but he waited too long and now will get bogged down in ISU purgatory.
Matt Campbell
- Thread starter Hford
- Start date
All while repeatedly acting too good for those other jobs, too. But maybe he doesn’t have higher aspirations to go to a bigger program.
I think he likes it there.
He is at a school with no expectations and he meets them!
Basically it is like he is still coaching at Toledo but he makes millions more.
Thinking about him being hired here still gives me the willies shake.
Would have been infinitely better than frost
I mean sure, and we could have kept Riley as well. Same diff.
I still think Campbell is a good head football coach. He is loyal and doesn’t necessarily chase the almighty dollar. He appears to love the midwest. For recruiting purposes comparison only in the Big 12, i believe Baylor or TCU is a definite easier place to recruit to than say ISU and KSU. But with the expansion to 12 playoff teams in the near future, the Big 12 could have two teams selected in a lot of years for the playoffs. This will be minus Oklahoma and Texas. ISU and KSU will have an easier path than finishing in the top 3 or 4 in the Big Ten most years.
