UPDATE: Heacock staying at Iowa State per report

[jsb]

From what has been said around here isn’t he already kind of viewing Iowa State as his retirement gig?

Heacock? No. He didn't want to leave Toledo b/c he had kids still in high school. The kids are now out of school.

I don't even think I've seen a confirmed interview with Washington. Either way, it seems like Campbell was sniffing around more than usual this year. Part of that was probably a 6 year itch at Iowa State, the quality of jobs opening up, and the huge group of seniors that he loved. All of those reasons are fine and frankly looking at things might help cement to someone that they are where they should be.

Of course, the other reason is that he really wants out.

If they offered i would think that they interviewed unless the "offer" was just a phone call and a ballpark salary

High profile programs may not be as interested in Campbell as we think they are. His stock is a little down right now. Maybe if he had beaten Clemson or Iowa…

For sure. In some ways, we are lucky that these jobs weren't open last year if he is really looking to bolt. And we also got lucky that Riley was a much more obvious hire at USC. And that Freeman is a rock star that happened to pick ND instead of LSU last year.

Veidt would fill the shoes and expand on what we've done.

Ya we wont miss a beat.

I guess I figure that most of the time with a coach like Campbell the schools tell him they'd pay him x amount and then he decides whether he's going to talk to them.

I hope this isn’t true. More importantly, I hope he’s not shopping around.
Don’t overlook the fact that this is the best coaching staff in school history

As always I hear this news somewhere else. Last to post anything...cyclone fanatics

This concerns me with the rumor of Campbell being interested in the Viking job.

When you have younger talent within the staff willing and able to take over wouldn't you rather see them move up rather than move out? Especially when retirement is looming.

Wasn't that just him being at a game?

 

[shadow]

Could Heacock be a guy like Doc Sadler who wants to help young, new head coaches get things rolling? Maybe he sees this as a way to give another ISU asst a shot at DC while helping a new HC at ND succeed?

 

[NorthCyd]

Don't like this. Hope he stays. There's been some disappointing performances but he is one of the best defensive coordinators in the country.

Darn, I’m going to miss Kene returning kicks

 

[CyclonesMoney]

Whatever happens please leave Wally Burnham in retirement. We DO NOT want that bend but don’t break crap ever.

 

[carvers4math]

Can we throw in Manning for Tommy Rees as part of the deal if he goes?

Are those my only two options

Heacock? No. He didn't want to leave Toledo b/c he had kids still in high school. The kids are now out of school.

His son, Jace, is a graduate assistant for defense
