Who on earth would want to live in or near Detroit?
The suburbs aren’t anywhere near as bad as you want to make them out to be. And downtown Detroit is as nice as any downtown. But the Lions. Woof.

Who on earth would want to live in or near Detroit?
CMC idolizes people like Bill Snyder, which gives me confidence he could be here a long time. However, it seems a lot of comments he's made center on the hopes to build something here. I normally wouldn't be afraid of any of those jobs, but should he win the Big 12 Championship this year, would he feel he has finished the job he set out to do?
I think he'll stay, but I have to admit his success combined with a possible opening at Michigan has me slightly more frightened than I've been in the past. I'm not going to let that ounce of fear take away how extremely happy I am with this team and our coach. Great team this year!
Enjoy the limelight on the program.

Feldman: 20 names to know as the college football coaching carousel gets going
The number of openings may decline in the face of the pandemic, but programs across the FBS already are signaling they won't stand pat.theathletic.com
You don't realize the article you linked is the exact same article linked in the FIRST POST of this thread, do you?
As for CMC, I don't see him bolting immediately after a season like this. Job security is a nice thing to have, and he's pretty much got it for life right now. Sure, go to Michigan/Texas/whatever "blueblood", get a bigger paycheck, expectation year 1 is win the conference and be in the CFP. The heat is on immediately. Don't win enough in 4 years? Fired. Why put yourself and your family through that? He doesn't have the ego of a Herman/Gene Chizik type. And once you prove you can win at Iowa State, what is left to prove?
I think that “missing name” you mentioned Campbell admiring would be John Stiegelmeir at South Dakota State. And his own coach at Mount Union, of course.My thoughts are this:
CW makes really good points about who his Campbell idolizes: A D3 coach, Bill Snider and I'm drawing a blank on the last one (but another Bill Snider type, maybe the Northwestern coach?). Because of this, ISU may be MC's dream job and he may be living the dream. This is my hope of course.
If MC does want another job I think it would be one of these: Cleveland Browns, Ohio State, Notre Dame or maybe Michigan. WIth Michigan, I'm not sure the current environment would be what he'd want to walk into, but I do think he'd at least talk to them.
All of that said, I'm much less worried about Campbell leaving than some of his staff. Heacock, Manning, etc all will be in high demand. A huge part of our recent success isn't just MC, but the consistency of the whole staff. I'd hate to lose that.
Agree with the Take, But need to pay CMC like a Top 25 program. I know they are investing in a bunch of different things around football. But I would focus the money on CMC and getting a competent OC. Most of our close loses in the last few years have come because of the offense.
Wining football games will bring more revenue to the program then upgrading the theatre.![]()
This same phone call could also be something that makes him think twice about the pros. Fred could tell him horror stories about coaching a team that you have no control over putting together. If Fred learned only one thing in Chicago it was probably that if there is anything worse than recruiting at the Div 1 level it is coaching a team you have no say in putting together.Think about the phone call when he called the MBB coach about what it’s like out there. So you chased the money, went to a crappy organization and you’re now in Lincoln? Good to know. Next call would be JP to say, Lincoln ain’t happening.
I realize this is a joke but the border is closed up tighter than a bull's hind-end.Maybe live in Canada, commute to work?
For now. Covid won't be around forever. They can helicopter me in every day.I realize this is a joke but the border is closed up tighter than a bull's hind-end.
I'm starting to think he'd only take the ND job at the college level. I could see him eventually going to the NFL, but I think he really likes the college ranks.
You lost me. Are the Canucks pointing missiles at Detroit?
It’s the Midwest and he’s Catholic, I assume.Is there a reason everyone links Campbell to ND? Just curious. I know they have an elite brand in the heart of his preferred recruiting area... but just wasn't sure if there is history with him and ND or why everyone seems to think ND is the most likely spot if he were to leave... I just assumed that since he was an Ohio guy OSU would be the most likely spot.
Good chance on your question. We hope.I really don't remember how many teams were interested in Ferentz in the early 2000s when he was winning...but after a certain point, teams just stopped asking about Ferentz availability...even though he was winning 7-8 games "most" years... My point (or question) here is...will ISU and Campbell ever get to a point where teams just stop inquiring because he's been here for so long? Just curious.
