I think everyone is freaking out for no reason. I don’t think Campbell would be willing to talk until after today minimum. I don’t see him not being focused on the game.
Rumor? Campbell and Co. contract extention and raise
- Thread starter jdcyclone19
- Start date
Ha, okay JP.
I wish it were that easy. Those numbers are low and adding to the buyout only happens if CMC wants it to. If we’re serious about keeping CMC it’ll be 4 million or thereabouts
People wanting a small extension or wanting to see how it plays out next year are crazy. The sooner it is done, the cheaper it gets for ISU.
Luckily even after next year the buyout would be bigger than anything paid to date.
The only reason you don't do a large extension now is if you aren't sure Campbell is the guy for the job. And honestly if you aren't sold I think you're crazy. There have been none of the stars aligning for this team. No senior loaded team that escapes injuries, no generational QB talent that carries the team, no soft schedule, and no wacky 5 TO games. This team is legit. This program is legitimate in a way it hasn't been for 40 years.
No worries on no negotiations yet. This staff will not get distracted. There's time during bowl prep for that.

If the OP was correct we'll see how accurate it was. If we win I wouldn't be surprised to see something next week.

Yea...trading Ames for Lincoln...Nebraska. : 0
On top of that you trade a highly supportive fan base with low to reasonable expectations for a bunch of living in the past morons who expect NC's they'll never win again.
And you trade UT, OU, TCU rivalry games for Iowa & WI? An occasional OSU/ MI match-up.
Yea...sounds great.
Oh, and Tom Osbourne is still hovering over your shoulder the whole time while NU fans remind you daily how you're not Tom.

Are schools leaking info to gauge interest or are they just putting out names they have on a list? Seems to me there should be only one name on their list and it's Scott Frost. Maybe it's MC side drumming up interest to get a better contract, but I would think that he wouldn't need any help getting a bigger deal.
Heard his name dropped for Tennessee by some slobbering radio mouth earlier.
If he left after one good season chalk it up for another reason to have no faith in decency.
Honestly, if NU isn't at least looking into MC the AD isn't doing their job. One of the hottest coaches in the country just a few hours down the road? Unless they have another coach already ready to sign, and they don't, its almost an obligation.
Really when you look at the big picture I think Nebraska is one of the least desirable jobs in the nation, and for the reasons you state much less desirable than Iowa State, especially in the current state of things.
I would expect that 'sources close to Nebraska' are still stuck in the delusion that the Nebraska job is a position coaches with options would actually want. I think they honestly believe they have a chance at any coach in the country, which is going to lead to a lot of disappointment.
If they had any damn sense they'd go after Jason Candle. It's a hire they can actually make and I believe he would do an excellent job.
I get it but why are they making it public? Just to say we are doing our due diligence? I might have missed it but haven't seen anything about them going after Frost just a lot of people saying they should.
How many people think either after the game today or tomorrow there will be an announcement of a contract extension and raise. I really think we will see that, no real knowledge just my feeling of CMC and Pollard, how things will be done, and a little bit of faith mixed in for good measure.

Campbell has to figure out what he is worth on the market so he can negotiate a good deal with Pollard.
