I've always thought this would be the year we know his future. Either he moves on, or he's going to be here for a long time with only a dream job taking him down the road. Really hoping for the later.
With turning over so much of the roster it's easy to assume this would be the year.

Idk.... After this year is he a good candidate? He can win some games but when it really counts he's not getting it done.
He hasnt won as much as these schools need him to do. They'd fire him for what he's done here. And he's on the verge of having a 6 win season.
Plus, everyone who's ever hired away an iowa state coach has lived to regret the decision and fired him after a few years.

Tucker re-signing with the Spartans sets the bar pretty high for USC, LSU and Florida. All will need to be willing to pay $10M over 6+ years to hire an established head coach like Matt Campbell.
I also think the job security of all those AD's will come into play. Matt (and any top coach) will favor a job where the AD that hires him will be around in 3-5 years.
Lastly, I don't know if LSU's litigation issues are entirely related to sexual harassment issues within the Athletic Department or NCAA sanction s might also be in play. I would think that could also scare off a big name coach.
If I were to rank the jobs- I would go USC, UF, LSU. IMO with the right coach, the Trojans could be a 12 team playoff program just about every year. Similar situation as Clemson and OU over last 5 years.
The elephant in the room for USC is Pac12 TV contract.

Lol. You’re an idiot.
Lol. You’re an idiot.
Campbell has a better route to the playoff at ISU than at UF or LSU. Agree on USC, that’s a sleeping giant…if someone can get it turned around.
Lol. You’re an idiot.

So not recent history then. But I guess you're right, it's not 100% guaranteed to fail hiring an iowa state coach, just in the last 40 years.

I agree with all of this. Once the playoff expands the big 12 gets an auto bid so conference perception won’t matter. Right now ISU has the top recruiting class in the new big 12 and if that can continue you should be able to make the playoffs pretty frequently.
Don’t personally know any Auburn fans that didn’t love Chizik bringing home a National Champoinship.
I’ve heard Matt Campbell is going to USC if you guys keep quoting without fixing the broken quote.
It’s really not just the “land grant lens” any longer. The latest round of realignment seems to have really expanded the fault line of football fans against ESPN and the SEC. Their intangible assets have taken a big hit, as they chose to focus on large brands and alienate half the country’s college football fan viewership.
