All FB coaching rumors and speculation

Ah old front butt himself.

That Fupa is undefeated.

The national media seems to be assuming this might be Campbell’s time.

When is the national sports media all that informed about ISU?

 

[HFCS]

Doesn't matter houses cost triple in So. Cal.

and increase in value faster, this is not the issue you all think it is…not for people with Lincoln Riley’s new salary.

Not isu in this case. More that ND wants him.

 

[madguy30]

Fickell seems like a standup guy but if BK would leave a potential playoff team I don't see why Fickell wouldn't.

I'm not surprised BK did this.

Many others, I would be.

 

[danvillecyclone]

I bet he does

Coach O won a natty and he gone.
Now the massive contract may give him 3. But two 9-3 years and he will be in trouble

It's been amazing to watch that top tier of schools just pull away from the pack these last few months in terms of NIL deals, realignment, and coaching salaries. There may not be a "superleague" separate from the rest of us on the field - yet anyway - but there sure is in terms of spending.

 

[WhoISthis]

But I’ve read today that we will hire a successful replacement for sure.

There’s nothing for sure in sports.

CMC could have a losing season next year, heacock then retires, and CMC never again has success.

The uncertainty is what makes sports great.

Campbell's family loves Ames and his girls are very involved in the area swimming club. I'd be very surprised if he uproots that. He already has tons of money and will get more.

My daughter swam for a metro high school and graduated in 2019. At that time Ames High had won like 5 state championships in a row. Incredible program. Good reason for Campbell to stay. Seriously.

 

[cycfan1]

Yep. Which is also why I don’t think the timing is right with Fickell. With signing day coming up, ND can’t wait weeks for Fickell. So my guess is Campbell vs Freeman.

Odd man out gets the ISU job??

Kelly just left ND despite likely being in playoff.
Fickell will do the same. You don't wait around for a job like that.

You know how news media is. If they get a story wrong they just keep ******* that chicken until they are right.

 

[Clonefan94]

I follow.
Original comment was that Notre Dame gave him ultimatum needed to win a natty in next 3 years or was getting let go.
He isn't getting more than 3 at LSU at that price.

Maybe, but I haven’t checked, how much time did he have left on his contract with ND? Worst case, he’s out in 3 with $70 million dollars left to collect. Was he going to get that at ND without winning a championship? I am no fan of ND, but they do have a very tough path to get to the playoff. One loss to a mediocre team could kill that shot. In the SEC, you could lose to the worst team, still win the conference and you are a shoe in for the playoff.

I mean, CW said himself he thought there was something to the USC rumors. And Notre Dame is one of the dream jobs everyone ties Campbell to. So all the speculation seems pretty justified.

 

[HFCS]

Really crazy considering ND not eliminated from playoff yet, I wonder if it could possibly affect committee, it would have to on some level.

ND is not going to be in the playoff.

Coach O also went 5-5 last year and 6-6 this year. Those aren’t records Brian Kelly produces.

or lose two games to Georgia and still get in.

His kids don't attend the Ames school district.

 

[Inthesystem]

I'm hoping our disappointing season ultimately drives interest away from Campbell

I doubt any smart AD will be deterred by a 7-5 vs. 9-3 season.

 

[DeereClone]

Wow that's some serious bad s***.

IDK that tweet is a little misleading. Sounds like Kelly is out of town and the media broke the story, and he’s apologizing to the team that he couldn’t tell them about him leaving in person.
