Because he’s much more stand up than Brian Kelly (which doesn’t take much). No way Fickell bails on a playoff bid. Zero chance.

ND was playing middle school teams (like Stanford and US ) compared to the SEC.

When I read the comments that Pollard said about USC, or 7-5 elsewhere, or money chasing, etc. it was reassuring. But then the part where he says "if something comes up that is the right fit for the right reason".... "if that is something he wants to do, then we should be ecstatic for Campbell because he's delivered and then some for Iowa State". Add that to the silence by our head coach at this time. Its exactly like when Fred to the Bulls was in limbo. I really believe (with sadness) that CMC is gone. Not being dramatic, just my honest opinion.(my only hope is ND donors and players are so in love with Freeman that they want to promote him or they like Fickell first). I realize we don't know where CMC is at on 'their list'.
Just my gut feeling he's gone.
True. It can happen. But it's been three years of this, obviously national sports media doesn't know what they think they know when it comes to Campbell so far.
What exactly do you do to chickens?????? Then again, don’t tell me. Dont want messed up dreams tonight.
The donors will have to be convinced between their bowl beat down of us and a highly rated team going 7-5
When you are a ND and have your pick, a coach’s appeal slides when the preseason top-10 team finishes 7-5. In this case, the same coach who’s team didn’t show up against ND.
Does it eliminate them? No, and I don’t think that’s been claimed, but how they’re viewed with respect to other candidates is impacted.
not that long ago, we worried about Paul Rhoads getting lured away, we see how that turned out. McCarney before that, which didn't exactly work out for him. if we arent worried about our coach getting hired away, we prob stink. I def dont recall any talk of Walden LOL
Campbell has done much better and I think its more sustainable but to your point, you never really do know. 10 mill+ is a another level and there really is only a handful of schools like ND. he fits perfectly there if thats what he wants.
Schools like Iowa State we will still be able to get a great coach for less than 5 mill and have great facilities to compete at a high level for years to come. the big 12 is winnable any given year absent OU and Texas and as long as the big 12 maintains a seat at the table for playoffs, - it will be easier to build a consistent winner here than go dog eat dog in the super league...
I look for more coaches to look at the Big 12/PAC 12 to give themselves a better chance of longer term success. these schools are going to be about development, cycles of winning - much like Iowa has done over the years and with the new transfer rules, they can take high level players out of the super league schools who arent willing to wait their turns or bring players up from lesser schools that prove to be better than their recruitment. There will be more parity than ever before with all the transfers, similar to Mens Basketball
Maybe.
Brian Kelly won’t be playing teams called Navy, Virginia, Boston College, Florida State, and Technical schools of Virginia and Georgia.
Gilbert doesn't have a swim team. Gilbert students swim on the Ames team.
And if you crash your car by her house she will feed you cookies in lingerie.
Those kids can find a swim team in south bend.
The ND decision will come down to-- "Can he bring us a title?"
Not saying Matt can't, but IMO, the Irish boosters will make a run at Fickell and Meyer first.
Someone should make sure ND knows they are getting manning if they get Campbell.
This is creepy just an FYI
