Lunacy. No substantial number of fans attacked the kicker himself. Made jokes about special teams, sure. Got mad at the offense, yes. Went after the kicker personally? Nope.

This is a guy who's been told his sht doesn't stink for too long. Hard to preach accountability if you won't practice it yourself.
Most of us knew he shouldn’t put the 18 year old in that position. That is on him.

Just remember you have no idea what emails and messages the kicker got after the Kansas game.
Oh, I'm sure he got some **** from the psychos. Campbell should know better than to think that's the side of the fanbase he's dealing with over the ones who went crazy for him sinking his first FG of the night. And if that's how low he actually thinks of the fans then we got a serious issue here

The second quote lays the groundwork for not making the necessary changes on the offensive staff.

He’s likely gone after this season. I hope you like our new coach.

I like kind of crabby Campbell.

Ah yes.

Couldn't be lashing out in anger that the fans are blaming your best friend and pressuring you to fire him.
REALLY disappointed in this. This fanbase ate a lot of **** for a really long time and kept showing up. It still does.

I don't want to get into it, but not a lot of positives come to mind when this starts happening.

It’s one comment. Everyone’s frustrated. I doubt Campbell is truly that upset.

Good thing is, either the offense gets better and it turns out fine, or it does not and he has to make sone moves.

No OC can survive this kind of performance, other than Brian fermentz.

Yeah, he’s either going to be home or our new head coach ;)

He’s clearly frustrated and is going to want that one back. I will cut him some slack, as everyone is going to let pressure get to them at times. He’s been even keel since Day 1 and this is really the first time he’s starting to feel a bit of pressure from the fans.

I think he knows changes (aka firing of people) need to happen. But it’s his good buddy, so he’s just lashing out.
Literally just say "Jace responded really well, and we need more from the offense" and fire your friend who's really bad at their job. Not that hard.

Manning was gifted years of high-salary employment yet wasn't smart enough to take a HC job when he had the chance. That's his fault, and not ISU's. Now, its becoming more and more plainly obvious that this program desperately needs an OC who can run something close to a modern offense that is able to generate some explosive plays.

Now that we can agree on. If he can't handle even this little bit of pressure from a fanbase who's been great to him for 7 years he's going somewhere else. But if he's that thin skinned over all this then he's not gonna do any better there
