IMO, Campbell's method is good for a certain group of players...for example, I don't know that his message and tone will resonate well at the professional level. He likes to help build and form character...that takes a certain type of person who is at a point in their life where that is both accepted and acknowledged...not sure the pro ranks are the place for that.

Not exactly sure.
I don’t know but I really hope people in Nebraska keep throwing his name out there like he’s in play because it’s damn hilarious. They can all suck my chode, he’s not going to Lincoln.
Think about the phone call when he called the MBB coach about what it’s like out there. So you chased the money, went to a crappy organization and you’re now in Lincoln? Good to know. Next call would be JP to say, Lincoln ain’t happening.

I agree but it’s hard to stay relevant if you lose a coach. I think we spend too much time spinning the idea that it’s good for Iowa state if a coach leaves.
Defense mechanism, got really bad after Fred. Although, Prohm's recruiting is dynamite, so that seems to be somewhat working out.

For sure, it’s all a defensive mechanism for fans.

I worry about 4 jobs—Michigan, penn state, Michigan state, and notre dame.

Campbell isn’t going to Texas.

I wouldn't worry about Michigan State or Penn State at all. Michigan State isn't a step up, and Penn State has an absolute horse **** culture.

Michigan, Ohio State, and Notre Dame are the jobs that have concerned me over the years.

Texas is laughable. There is absolutely no way Campbell takes a job that makes him play ISU every year.

That is just one of about 500 reasons he won’t take it.

Why I don’t think UB would take Michigan now either. Don’t compete directly with what you built. Hard to say why you are better and be taken seriously

Great national coverage, 4 star and 5 star recruits may want come play for CMC, if they know that the big programs want him. You will start at ISU compared to be a second string at the elites. I don't think CMC is leaving anytime soon. When he leaves , ISU will be in a good position to get a great coach.

Not this year, just in general. Those are the 4 jobs I’ve worried about.

Campbell was better than the MSU job last year. He’s way too good for it now. Why people think MSU is a good job baffles me. Because Dantonio was shady it’s hard to say, but he’s one of the best college coaches in the past 25 years.

So you are saying thats a no for sure. Because I don’t know anybody who wants to live by their in-laws.

I agree, but how important will his wife be in the decision? You would think moving close to her parents might deserve a bit of consideration.
