SOURCE- Campbell signs with ISU

Can we not do the "think it's working out because we want it to work out so bad" thing this time?

Set some quantifiable minimums and don't get all wishy-washy with justifications.

Unless it's Lazard, Lanning, or Warren (obviously it's not him), I am not terribly worried. I mean, any losses hurt, don't get me wrong, but those three guys are all sophomores or younger, and have incredible upside. If we lost one of them, I would be very upset. The rest can fill in around them, though.

This is my thought as well. Really, beyond those three I'm not sure there is anyone else we can't live without. Keeping Cotton-Moya would be nice too. I feel better having Lazard on record saying he isn't leaving, and I imagine emotions are high now, but when they meet Coach Campbell and review their options I imagine they will stay.
 
I always liked coach Rhoads, but I'm excited to see a new era begin. Congratulations coach Campbell. Welcome to Iowa State!
 
I have nothing nice to say about this hire so I'm not going to say anything at all.

My season tickets are renewed regardless of the man on the sidelines so I'm part of the problem and JP takes my money and pats me on the head.

Not thrilled one bit about this hire (IMO) :skeptical:
Big12 defenses are "day and night" different from MAC defenses.
He better bring in a very good DC, not to mention a good recruiter.

I also think JP basically rehired CPR all over again.
Yeah, he beat an overrated #18 Arkansas team (at the time...) and nobody after that. What other "quality" wins does he have??? ISU wasn't a quality win. Cole's missed FG had absolutely nothing to do with Toledo's defense. I would've been happier with P.J. Fleck, or Georgia Southern's HC. or many others! Campbell brings nothing to the table, again (IMO) Hope I'm eating crow someday, (although I never have) Just gonna sit back now and wonder when the 1st, "Fire Coach Campbell" thread will pop up.

Kind of wanted to see Scott Frost (...get interviewed anyway) ...and before people berate me with, crap like, "He's never been a Head Coach!" just remember neither was Paul Rhoades before he came here. Neither was Chizik, neither was Dan McCarney. Jim Walden was a HC at WSU from '78-'86 with only 3 (marginal) winning seasons, before coming here. My point is that nearly every "successful" football coach in (P5) or w/e came from an assistant position. I like the resumes of a lot of these assistants that ultimately will be given a chance and wonderfully succeed. I just feel JP went out and plopped down a couple of million in front of Campbell and said... well... (I have no clue what he said!)

Who has Matt Campbell recruited that was headed elsewhere. What big name player was taken from some other national power and decided to go to Toledo, Ohio??? I can't think of anyone either. Now then, what's going to happen when he walks into some recruits livingroom, and says, "Come play for me at ISU... Don't go to Alabama or Clemson, or Oregon, they're no good." YES! there are asst. coaches out there that can steal recruits from some major football programs! Kind of like TJ Otz is with our basketball program. These people are out there! I just wish Jamie would've put forth a bit more hard work, and thoroughly investigated all (if not more) options! $2.5 mil buys an aweful lot of coach these days. In the grand scheme of things, I just feel we hired a Paul Rhoads / Dan McCarney type of guy all over again.

I think I get what you are saying... Not sure we're exactly blowing money going after recruits, and Cam Newton isn't a good example, but that is "sort of" my point. I feel we could have researched it a little better, and brought in a coach whos resume speaks volumes better than Campbell's. Now I fear we're just going to get more of the same. (past 20 years or so)

So I guess you're not happy with this hire?
 
Don't know a lot about the guy, but I am happy that we are moving on quickly and can start working on building and retaining right away. The last thing this team's players needed was 8 weeks of wondering what was going to happen next in their lives. I am sure there will be some departures, there always are, but now the guys will know right away who the new guy is, what is expected, and will be able to intelligently choose what to do.

If Matt Campbell has the success that old man Snyder has had.....He can stay 2 lifetimes as far as I'm concerned....

*Schedule creampuffs in nonconference
*Dominate Kansas juco ranks in recruiting
*Have a tremendous football IQ
*Have great assistants like Snyder has had (Bob & Mike Stoops; Bielema; Mangino; Phil Bennett; Dana Dimel; Jim Leavitt, etc)
*Work till midnight; sleep in office; sacrifice family life


There is your roadmap

good luck Campbell

Uh-Oh, looks like Rogue isn't happy that our new football coach doesn't have a catch phrase and his own dance move and DJ.

:rolleyes:

Hey, let's get him some Ed Hardy shirts, get him in with the training staff, looks like he already has a nice tan looking complexion, we can bro this guy up in no time.

Yes, Pollard really has an eye for head football coaches.

I think the Mizzou interview was just a negotiating tactic. What smart, up and coming young coach would want to mar his career by trying to lead that politically correct, entitled nightmare of a program?

Toledo peaked in the AP poll at 19. Its been along time since ISU football has been ranked the high.
 
Airport patrol reporting. No Coach Campbell on the United 8am arrival from Chicago to DSM. Bummer. I was really hoping to be the first to welcome him to Iowa State.

Let's see. Warren keeps his coach (assuming LA stays) and the other two building blocks are from 30 miles away. Lanning used his redshirt already and Lazard is a diehard cyclone m our best defenders are Jucos transfers they aren't going anywhere.

I really hope Peavy is back. Man he is good.

I'd say it's a solid hire when every national person is saying he could do a lot better than Iowa State and question his decision.
