Not sure how ISU vs MSU is a lateral move. MSU is in a talent rich region and they have some history and recent success. ISU is headed in the right direction but isn't at the same level as Michigan State.
MSU fans discussing new coach. Campbell on their shortlist. Funny stuff
- Thread starter Rockymtcy
- Start date
If your mentor tended bar in any of several bars in rural WI, he could probably tell you why there was an exodus to WooPigSooie land.
I am hoping Campbell feels like he has more to accomplish at ISU and has the players returning over the next couple years to get it done.
The word down here is Campbell already told Arkansas that he isn’t interested. I don’t see him being interested in managing the NW Arkansas politics and the central Arkansas politics for boosters, either. There may be money here, but it’s a unique situation to manage.
Since '17 Campbell has told 20+ programs/teams he isn't interested. He's going to choose if or when he's ready for something new, not the other way around. And that time isn't now.
One major thing is at ISU he has built this into a good program. He has shown the ability to go about anywhere and get the talent he needs to come to Ames.
I agree with others on here...CMC may have some jobs in mind that he would leave ISU for, but it would have to be a top 5-10 type job in the right region. He doesn't have to settle for a former power or non-blue blood. I don't think that FSU, Ark or MSU really qualify.
FSU is easily a top 10 job. MSU isn't in the same conversation as Arkansas. Yea, they're having issues this year but still will make a bowl game if they beat Rutgers & Maryland. They have a really young football team, especially on offense.
Arkansas should go after Les Miles, seems like a good fit?
Cleveland should be what people are watching. Not these piddly fading semi-powers like Arkansas and MSU.
.
Why in the hell would he take Cleveland? Sure it is his team but it is a career ender for most coaches. That organization is a mess.
If the "Mac" you're referring to is Dan McCarney; he was absolutely no joke. Coach Mac took a worse than Kansas level football program, built it up through recruiting, and took it to consecutive bowl games, and a still a school record nine win season. Yes, his team wasn't that good when he left, but it was a definitely better than what he started with thirteen years prior.
Penn State
Michigan
Ohio State
Notre Dame
Oklahoma
Texas
USC
LSU
Alabama
Florida
Georgia
Clemson
There's a dozen right there that I think are better than FSU and that's before even considering fringe teams like Auburn, Oregon, Wisconsin.
Great Post Beyerball.....I hope you are right about Coach Matt Campbell and the Five Million Dollar figure after 2022...I have a question for cyclone fans...How much is it worth to you to have a winning football program? What is your dollar figure?
She told him to.
PS - I don't understand these threads every season. Just cut & paste from last season. Nothing has changed. FSU, MSU and Arky opening up don't impact Campbell.
I agree the Cleveland Browns is just another Coaching Graveyard type job.....Just remember that in the NFL the coach doesnt choose his players ....The Owner and General Manager have the last say......
HellsBells...Even Bill Belichek couldn't make it as a Cleveland Coach......Cleveland Canned his ....A**...Like I say a veritable "Coaching Graveyard".

Thses could be very true, the amount doesn't seem right. Just going by this Forbes article less than a year old. Not sure why they would disclose anything with wrong numbers other than to be misleading.

University of Notre Dame coaching staff payroll: not disclosed. As a private institution, salaries under the Golden Dome are not subsidized with public monies. The school is under no obligation to disclose its payroll. However, the university does disclose a salary of $2.1 million for head football coach Brian Kelly and a $1.6 million salary for the athletic director. Other than this, Notre Dame did not release any other coaching staff salaries on its most recent IRS 990 posted at Charity Navigator.
I don’t think that means much when talking about taking a job that’s projecting forward in a positive direction. Nebraska has a lot of history and that bs but I don’t think there’s anyone of note that would want that thing at all.
Why in the hell would he take Iowa State? Sure it’s a nice school with a rabid fan base (kind of like Cleve?) but has pretty much been a career ender (at the highest levels) for the previous 4 coaches (Does Chizik even count?). This program was a hot garbage mess when he took it over.
