Reason number one why I love Matt Campbell. He said that when he first got here he got questions about entrance songs and uniforms. He said he’s glad not to get them anymore because they don’t matter.
As someone who thinks the constant uniform talk and entrance song talk is completely stupid, I appreciate that we have a coach that agrees. He plays the “game” because he has to—-he plays along with all of you. But it’s nice to know he thinks it’s stupid

There's an aspect that the uniform combos matter in that it's been used in other places to attract recruits, but overall the best thing that can happen is winning due to a clear cut vision and plan on how to get there.
Right. I just like the fact that he doesn’t give a **** about it. He plays the game because he has to.
I'm probably missing something but why doesn't Deshaunte Jones appear in any of the pictures I've seen? I thought he was making the trip.
Marketing is part of recruiting...recruiting is part of the product on the field...the product on the field is part of winning football games. It makes a difference and it all goes together. It’s not so easily separated. I’m sure it isn’t what the coaches really like to talk about, but it matters to a degree.
JFC. Even the B12 media day thread for the most anticipated season in school history has turned into a uniform and entrance music discussion. The sun rises in the east. Water is wet. Etc, etc. Solid work people.
Yeah but those marketing things are the ADs job. I think Matt is just obsessed with football and it shows. Those really aren't part of the winning football process.
Campbell is just the definition of a good employee... He is doing his job and he also does the extra things that will continue to make him successful and round him for other potential job opportunities in the future. He's tge type of person that you know will be successful in whatever he does.
I’m not saying uniforms and entrance music is a huge part, and I’m absolutely sure it’s a heck of a lot more fun for Campbell to answer football questions rather than a dumb entrance music question...that’s a given. Frankly those questions probably persisted at least one season too long. I take his statement as a way to turn the corner on the conversation the media should have with him, focusing on the more important topics, rather than what the football support staff is there to do.
But with that said, in general I take a broader view of marketing; the coaches and players are selling the program to recruits, and part of that is promoting and maintaining a fun environment in various aspects (creative media/twitter, uniform combos, fans/Gameday atmosphere, locker room atmosphere).
