Also, I know for a fact that a few interviews were indeed cancelled.
Any reasons why? That might explain some things. That doesn't necessarily mean that we have our guy. That could mean that we think the candidates will go after different openings I assume?

I don't think Jeremy has anything to gain by lying to posters about what he has heard or not heard.

Did I say he was lying? I said I believed him.

But to that end, he can only report what he hears and EVERYONE who talks to anyone has an agenda. It's silly to think his sources don't have their own agenda.

I agree, but him passing on info that has actual credibility behind it (and in front) is better than most of what we hear on here.

Beginning to look like Campbell took an offer sheet to another school and asked them to match it.

Like you do on used cars.

I believe you. But you talk about how your track record is 95%, but no one but you has any idea if that is true.

For example, we will never really know if interviews were cancelled. We won't ever know what the first offer for Campbell was.

And honestly, you are the most sensitive person I've ever seen. No one has bashed you in this thread. I certainly don't feel like I am bashing you, but with you sensitive disposition, I'm sure you feel attacked by me.

I don't think I get any less than 5 negative PMs or emails after every post I make, so yes, I probably come across much more bitter or negative than I truly am. I have no problem being wrong and will freely admit it whenever I am, but have to put up with a lot of **** just to try and help. But yes, if you didn't know all that, it would look like I overreact to small and simple things.

Because from a hiring standpoint, you feel like you are getting played for more cash. I personally don't have a problem with it at Campbell's level. If his camp wants to throw it out there, in hopes of pulling an offer in from another school, then so be it. It's like visiting other schools when you've committed as a recruit. Some recruits can pull that off, others can't.

If this were a Les Miles leak, I'd feel like JP probably wouldn't care as much.

And JP should've continued the interview process to protect himself from leaks and to throw others off the trail? Seems a bit naive to throw all eggs in one basket and not expect some type of leak or competition for the coach?

I'm sure it will work out.....unless we get stuck with the Buffalo coach

I agree.

I just think it is silly of him to boast of 95% correct rate (which isn't exactly verifiable) and then ***** about people bashing him, when I haven't read anyone bashing him.

And I can guarantee you that he thinks I am bashing him even though I've said in every post about this whole ******* topic that I believe him.

Sounds like it's time to move on to me. Campbell isnt good on his word. No way they cancel interviews without a verbal agreement. End of story.

Fritz!

Will be interesting to see how things go with Mizzou. He was expected to be their favorite, then things shifted slightly to their in house DC, and now this. Obviously his team wanted to force Mizzou to move faster and it's working. We know we can't compete with them on $$$ so how quickly do we shift gears if we need to? Very fluid stuff.

ISU was working under the assumption that Campbell was the guy and cancelled a series of interviews (atleast 2, possibly 3). Things leaked too early today and further discussions were had (though not sure if in person or on the phone, possibly one of each).

It would seem that Campbell's side was trying to force the hand of others and it may be having unintended consequences for all parties. Numbers were discussed but nothing had been accepted (some say anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5).

So to those that accuse me of being too general, I've been incredibly detailed and accurate once again and will still get bashed. Track record is around 95% but clearly haters gonna hate.

Thanks for all the great info Jeremy. Even if it is negative ha. Keep it coming
