Campbell is doing great so far, so he can keep doing whatever he wants. I wonder if it's his personality like this that so many recruits love him and want to come play for him now.

I would say the recruits love CMC because he is Young and Very Charismatic...........This guy is a winner so get used to it.

Go Cyclones....Great Win @ Cincy

I hope that this video is intended to be humorous and not a legitimate attempt at marketing.

Doesn't really matter as the marketing they have done in 3 weeks surpasses what was done in 7 years. The more of this content they make the more gets seen and the more our brand is out there.

The fact that you used that line right there means that you are so far out of touch as to be irrelevant. Seriously, are you 70? I'm nearly 40, and 25 years ago when I was a recruit's age, the only people using the term 'cool crowd' were old people. So not only are you out of touch, you were out of touch 25 years ago.

I was 7 25 years ago, old man! Lol!

And though the words and expressions may have changed, people haven't. People care what people think, no matter how hard they try to convince anyone otherwise. High school aged kids especially.

I think that's a terrific infographic. Not sure what the fuss is? Anything about it a lie or misleading? Wouldn't you want your kid to play for a winner?

I could share a half dozen things he did that were funny for the players that showed up in the videos they produced in Toledo. I'm confident that video had a planned purpose. Why show Ames Airport? Have there been comments in past concerning airport distance from Ames? I know he slept alot at the offices during important times during his Toledo tenure. Maybe he wants to show recruits that they get after it. Showed off the weight lifting and indoor filed. Huh. Would make me want to visit and see it live. But, I'm not a recruit so I'm probably way off. Why would a recruit want the head coach to have fun and show off the facilities. The negative nellies must be right. The video sucks.

Now you're getting the gist of CF... We can eat our own fairly quickly.

You're right. It was the greatest video EVER. Nevermind the fact it makes our NEW head coach look like a fool. And nevermind that the national media is starting to join in on the laughing at us. Do you really think that's going to impress a 17-18 year old kid, an age that cares most what people think and wants to be part of the cool crowd?

How did YOU market to 18 year olds during your HOF coaching career? Who was the hightest rated recruit you brought in? Did it take you long to do the Star Wars films with the computer graphics? Looking forward to you cancer cure and answer to the middle east problem.

Honestly - draw up YOUR football career on an infographic and we can compare side-by-side so we can mock you for actually trying to do something rather than tear something down from the comfort and safety of your Mom's basement.

Have yet to see any kind of mis-step from CMC. He has a plan, a professional and experience coaching team he's developed over the years, and a string of good looking recruits from areas CPR was afraid to recruit in. He's young, accomplished, charismatic and absolutely exudes a positive vibe in everything he's done.

Couldn't think of a better image for our program than him along with some wins.

I think what I'm trying to say is **** you.

Shallow people with very low self-esteem care what people think about them. High performing people set out to do great things despite people like you telling them they can't. Hoping we build a program with coaches, fans and players that are all high-performers and losers like you can continue to drop your turds of wisdom on the cool crowd.

As guess what I'm trying to get across to you is go **** yourself.

That's not an infographic. We're trying to mock you man... at least try and put up a fight.
