COACHING SEARCH: Campbell up, Fleck down

[ChrisMWilliams]

Just a quick update for you guys and then I'm going to get to the game.

I'm now hearing that Toledo coach Matt Campbell's stock is rising while Western Michigan's PJ Fleck's is dropping.

On the surface, Campbell seems like a safe play while Fleck is more of a high risk, high reward type of hire.

Other names I still believe to be in the mix: Northern Illinois head coach Rod Carey, Buffalo head coach Lance Leipold and Georgia Southern head coach Willie Fritz.

Possible candidates: Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo and Montana's Bob Stitt.

Also, I'm sure there is a candidate or two that I'm not aware of.

I think Campbell will make a lot more CF residents happy than Fleck.

Fritz is out of the running then?

Campbell would make sense from a religious point of view. I believe he got into a bit of trouble at Toledo for talking religion too much with his players or something? Not saying he wouldn't be a good choice because I think he could be really good, I'm just saying he definitely fits the JP mold, that's for sure.

Pollard was at the Western Michigan - Toledo game yesterday

Chris, do you know if Hoke is in the mix in the eyes of ISU? FS1 reportedly said he is interested.

So the goal is to pick the losing teams coach?
I would actually be fine with either coach

Hope not

 

[CysRage]

Hope not

I have mixed feelings. He obviously had past success but is trending downward. Seems much like Charlie Weis and we all know how that went for KU.

Hoke can be interested all he wants, but I want him nowhere near the ISU sidelines.

or Fleck told Pollard he doesn't want the job and its a spin.

 

[Cy$]

Fritz might have a better job lined up

 

[cmjh10]

Fritz might have a better job lined up

Okay jsb

 

[pdxclone]

Campbell can do the job. Sign him up!

 

[NATEizKING]

We would retain Ayeni I would assume so that's a plus

 

[jdoggivjc]

or Fleck told Pollard he doesn't want the job and its a spin.

Could be that; could also be both sides downplaying interest while Pollard interviews all interested parties,

 

[xboxfever]

Lance Leipold. I really hope this guy is not a serious candidate.

 

[ISUCubswin]

I would love Campbell.

 

[clonedude]

Campbell can do the job. Sign him up!

I prefer Campbell over Fleck. Seems to be the safer pick IMO.

Fleck sucks. I hope he ends up at a B1G school.
