REPORT: Campbell bringing OC, O-Line coaches with him to ISU
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
Didn't he request that all assistants stay back for the bowl game? The more he plans on hiring, the more it is going to hurt us in this recruiting period

The head ball coach @ISUMattCampbell and staff has the War Room rocking tonight... #CyclONEnation
I can tell Ayeni and looks like Golesh (along with Campbell), wonder who the others are. And wonder if that means Moore is sticking around?
Edit: Dude with his phone out is Candle maybe?

He hadn't been Rhoads' OC anywhere before though. He still didn't know what to expect.
Yep, I don't recall if he brought them all, but if not, nearly all. To those who are having such a problem with this, step back - If you were a new CEO of a company, would your first priority be to hire a bunch of folks with whom you've never worked?! Heck no. You'd want people around you that you know and trust. That will be much more important to your/his success than picking based on a map of who's recruited where. Not saying "territories" are irrelevant but much less important than staff trust/familiarity/etc.\
And, this is nothing like Chizik's staff. Campbell has worked with these guys at a very successful program. Chizik's staff was a hodge podge of buddies from along the way. I think a few may have even been looking for work. No comparison.

I kinda do too. The bowl game won't be as fun and rewarding for the players as they deserve. Oh well I guess that's what they get for beating us. :twitcy:
I guess the biggest thing I can see about him bringing guys in that haven't been on this stage before is that they are young, hungry and work together well. Maybe that is what we need; Still going to need some Texas connections and some grey hairs, but I have no problem with the majority of the coaches being young and relatable to the players.
The one thing I worry about these guys that he's bringing with him is they're all the same story, played at a super small
School, coached at small schools. He has an increased budget now he can set his sites for assistants a little higher. Yes, he needs someone with extensive Texas ties but also a couple of people who have been around the major college game if not as an assistant, at least as a player

It's lonely at the top. Sometimes you gotta step on a few throats to get there. Campbell is going to take the best coaches he can get. Toledo will have to deal with it.
Everyone stop feeling sorry for Toledo- sheesh! Toledo is going to be fine. They will continue to be a marquee program in the MAC. Such is life in their conference: burn, rinse, repeat.
ISU needs to be cutthroat if we ever expect to claw our way out of the cellar. No one is feeling sorry for us...

I suppose you are like Marty and Miller.......and thought we should have went after Brady Hoke.
I am in the camp of not feeling sorry for Toledo, second most talented team in the MAC and they beat us last year. Thank you for your coach, and no hard feelings I'm sure they will be fine. You think in any hypothetical that a top 15 program would feel bad for us if they hired our coach away? I'm sorry but it's the nature of the business
