Who's On Pollard's Short List?
- Thread starter FallOf81
- Start date
Maybe get some Madden genius, dead serious that any simulation player would never have kept running same running plays all first half.
Is he sitting around tonight drinking nattys and screaming at the ceiling fan, “but what about Mel Tucker!!”
“Tom (Izzo) might as well have taken my wife”
This is the realistic name I would want too but they're not going to move fast enough to get him
Jason Candle. 40 ppg, plus he’s worked with 60% of this staff. Hire him you may even retain HeacockCampbell sticks with his assistants and players. Often times longer than he should. Look at the offensive line situation. We finally got a new OL coach 1-2 years too late. Even though ISU changed OL coaches, ISU stuck with the OL players we had and did not bring in anyone from the portal. In part because it took so long to hire the new OL coach that all the portal players went elsewhere. If ISU doesn't use the portal to bring in several OL players, it will take 2-3 years to build a quality OL group.
ISU wont release Campbell but if it happened, I would look at the HC at Idaho.
He has an excellent offensive mind.Jason Eck - Football Coach - University of Idaho Athletics
Follow @Coach_Eck Head Coach Jason Eck enters his second season at the helm of Vandal football after a stellar first year in Moscow. He led the Vandals to a 7-4govandals.com
The other coach I would look at is the Texas State HC (former Incarnate Word HC)
He has had several very good offenses. He also extensively used the transfer portal to rebuild Texas State this past year.GJ Kinne - Football Coach - Texas State Athletics
GJ Kinne was named the head coach of Texas State football on December 2, 2022. And in a year’s time, the native Texan – and third-youngest coach in FBS – took thetxst.com
Give a 30 to 50% bump to all the defensive staff to stay. Maybe even keep most of the offensive staff. Most are new and young. Change the man at the top and the offensive system and that might be enough.
Campbell's system worked when he arrived at ISU but the College football world has changed. NIL, transfer portal and new timing rules to new a few changes. Campbell has to adapt or ISU needs to adapt.
Certainly not Satterfield or Gundy.
As low as we are feeling at least we didn’t get thumped at home.

Someone is going to pull Heacock away, and with that Campbell is out.
No he was Campbell's OC at Toledo and I think calls the plays. A couple years ago he almost left to take the Miami OC job similar to how Sean Lewis quit as Kent State head coach to be OC at Colorado this year. I would not hire him though, his teams always underachieved before last year aside from the first couple when it was all Campbell players
Nah, his dream is to coach in the NFL. Everyone knows that.
What is helpful then? Paying a bunch of money to watch the same inept offense without seeing any change. That obviously isn’t working.
