MUST KEEP CAMPBELL
- Thread starter vcl3
- Start date
Correct me if this isn't right, but can't private donor money be used to compensate the football coaching staff rather than "state" money. Therefore a group of major donors can toss in X to solve this without causing harm to other athletic teams budgets. Thanks.
Correct but the other part of the culture change is a AD that is willing to pay him a Top 30 national (Top 5 Big 12) salary.
If Campbell is only worried about his salary, he will likely bolt when the big boys start calling. I don't think this is the case. Instead of salary right now, he may be more interested in investing in other parts of the program. I would guess he wants this place to be as appealing to recruits as possible.
But even more than that, salary for coaches is probably a big deal for him. These guys are a family that have been together for a long time; he even played football with several in college. Increase assistant coach salary to keep the band together, and invest in recruiting resources. Show that we care about his "family" and that he can have everything he needs to be successful.

Like Matt Campbell has said since day 1 Iowa State is a sleeping giant. We have the resources, facilities, fan base, and $$$ to compete at a high level year in and year out. I think Jamie ponies up and gives him a nice raise.
You know what you have in CMC do you really feel confident that there is a non-power 5 coach out there that we can bring in and have the success we are having now. I look at the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt and I don't see that coach yet. If we are going to say our top dollar is 2.5-2.7!million prior to incentives then WTF are we doing. Why are we bowling in the South end zone?
JP runs a very balanced Athletics Dept. There can be both positives and negatives with that. But if I see JP say a single time that there is a limit to what Iowa State can pay (like he did with Hoiberg) then I think we need to find a new AD.
Yes, I’m very confident that there are other coaches that can win here. But the cost of discovery is typically very high (look at our history, as well as programs like NU/Tennessee that got lucky early but are now going through the hire and fire process). We should leverage that and pay as much as we can, which will take sacrifices by the fans/boosters and the athletic department.
Listen to CMC's post-game speech to the players about "immediate gratification". If there's anybody who understands "why" he's here, and somebody who "wants" to be here, it is CMC. I think that we need to have the discussion, but let's shelve it until after the season.
Higher annual salary and higher buyout. Keep the remaining years the same. No more ten year contracts.
We need to pony up some serious cash to keep this guy. Why spend millions on facilities and bowling in the south endzone if we are just gonna let a coach like this walk for more money. That being said i dont think hes leaving this year like most national people seem to think but the bill is gonna come due soon and i hope we are willing to pay it.
I would also extend him 2 years at the least. No 10 years of course but he will be entering his 3rd year next season. You should still be bumping the years on their contract.

It's been 2 days since Campbell won a game. I wouldn't get in a big hurry until he can show daily wins.
I'm in the boat of being a firm believer he isn't going to go anywhere.
Let's give Heacock more money. He's kind of the glue to this season so far!
We need to pay his staff, although I know it’s often viewed as one and the same.
