God dammit I can't take this anymore. I don't care what you have to do Pollard, do anything you can to keep CMC in Ames. And I mean anything. He wants more money? Give to him. Give the assistant coaches (Except Manning) more money too. He wants more bonuses? Give it to him.
I hope CMC is here forever, I think he fits here wonderfully, but that's for him to decide. If he goes, I'll wish him the best, but deep down I would laugh if he ever got let go after a 4 to 6 win season. Which can happen at some of those schools.
I guess I'm petty.

I don't know. I think that with FSU and Tennessee the smoke was pretty thick.
If you are Pollard and you are trying to keep Campbell, you tell him you won't ******* interfere in his assistants.

This screams that another historically power school (USC this time) expects to hire Campbell from “lowly ISU” but doesn’t necessarily mean it’s mutual. This is no different than Tennessee, Florida State, Detroit Lions in previous years. Don’t get me wrong, he could still go this year but the rumors at this point are no different than previous years.
Exactly this. I have been critical of Manning this season but If I'm JP, I wouldn't dare suggest to Campbell that I know better how to run his football team better than he does. That's the whole damn reason I hired him in the first place.
This is what will help us. Think USC is going to leave him alone? JP basically asks Matt what he wants/needs and then does what he can to acquire that for him.
All of us when ticket prices skyrocket.
If the game becomes about price, than we will lose every time to blue bloods with built in advantages.
JP needs to focus on things like fit, longevity, family life style, etc. That’s our best chance of keeping Coach.
He’s making $3.5 million now. There’s no reason we can’t make that $5.5-6 with how little we’re paying our basketball coach now.
An AD should never interfere with assistants. They do sometimes when trying not to fire a
head coach, but it never works.
But in our case the only question pollard should have is do you want more money for them?
Paying a guy 5 million after going 7-5? Wtf is wrong with you guys.
Gotta be honest, it would be a special kick in the balls for Campbell to leave the same off season that Baylor, Wake Forest, Cincinnati all get to keep their coaches in the midst of big openings like Florida, LSU, USC.
That's only what...a top 10-15 season in school history? Most of which have been under his guidance.
I thought he was making 4 million? But I agree that should be increased to 5 million at least.
I don’t know if he already does, but it in pollard I just tell Campbell he can have full control of football operations if he wants it.
Paying a guy 5 million after 5 straight bowl games, 5 straight winning conference seasons, the most big 12 victories by any coach? Well worth it.
If pollard tries to go cheap, he should be fired.
USC is similar to Nebraska, haven’t been good for a while, still think they are all that. They just don’t have to go back quite as far to find the good old days.
He just got a 300k bonus for getting 7 wins. Don’t know if that’s built into that number or separate of it.
