Postgame he said the problem was execution.

Calls were fine.

That's just openly trolling and insulting the fanbase at that point.

Trust me, I'm a professional troll, I recognize rivals.

You may be a troll, but you are our troll!

And your adamant opinion of the present coaching staff may indeed prove correct. I just think it's a little overdone. That doesn't mean I don't read your views and consider your rationale.

I may be more fully on your side of the fence this time next year, if Matt doesn't turn things around. He has to make coaching changes, to start with, and he needs to let go of the offense. Period. Perhaps he then could focus more on ST's, if he can't outright hire a ST coach, and concentrate on being CEO head coach.

If he does that, and he has earned that longer leash, I think we can dig our way out of this downturn.

You also need to consider, that I believe Matt has 6 more years on his contract. Jamie is not going to let him go without exhausting all his other options.

Bring in Jason Candle. Pay him . It almost happened 7 years ago but Jason got the Toledo job. Almost took the Miami o coordinator job last year.

He almost left as HC as Toledo to be OC at Miami?

 

[CyDude16]

I don't think this change is financially feasible right now.

And it’s completely stupid to get rid of Campbell.

 

[cayin]

I took a class in college called Theory of Football. It was taught by the legendary John Gagliardi(St Johns). He used to be the winningest coach in college football history. He had 27 conference championships and 4 national championships including a stunning upset of juggernaut Mt Union in 2003. He had a lot of philosophies about managing a game. I won't go into everything but a couple stuck out to me that if the ISU staff would do, they probably would have won some more games. One is if you are behind in the second half, even if it is just one score, you do everything you can to lengthen the game. You want to maximize the number of drives available to your offense. Conversely if you are ahead in the second, speed up the game, use the clock as a weapon. The other thing, and he was adamant about this, was no matter what, save your freaking timeouts until the end. That one definitely applies for tonight, if we would have all three in our pocket, we could have had another drive. But never got the chance because of our offensive disorganization caused us to burn them.

 

[BryceC]

Curious, why not?

Why is St. Matthew spared?

His coaching since the OU CCG has been subpar.

You answered your own question. He’s done things at Iowa State nobody else has done so he deserves all the praise he’s gotten and the opportunity to turn it around.

 

[nfrine]

Getting rid of manning - 100% must
Getting rid of Campbell- 100% dumb

Unfortunately, to do the first, you probably will have to do the second...

 

[JM4CY]

Think higher.

You’re quite the troll. Make it to the cities for the game yesterday?

Trust me, we’ve noticed. Ignore list time.

That would be great, but why leave a HC gig?

He has been pretty successful as HC. That tells me being OC he would be VERY successful. Lots of fantastic coordinators have been so so head coaches.

 

[Gunnerclone]

We're trying to run the same exact offense and gameplan as Iowa.

In the same state and recruiting area as Iowa.

With fewer resources and poorer media coverage.

Brilliant.

What part of our 7 yard deep shotgun and Iowa’s being under center says “exact same offense” to you? Lol.

Maybe just sit out for a while here.

 

[Ctrans]

The biggest problem with CMC is he coaches not to lose instead of coaching to win.

 

[madguy30]

This. It goes so much deeper than Xs and Os and bad play calls. Every game there are numerous plays that we can’t figure out who should be on or off the field, late subs, clock management, missed FGs, not kicking FGs inside the 10 etc.

There's a general lack of urgency and efficiency which should be two pillars of success at a spot like ISU where you are generally going to need to out punch your weight.

Sometimes it looks like they're just kind of throwing the ball out there and figuring out on game day instead of having it instilled from the get go.

That’s what it’s going to look like when your o-line gets blown up every other play.

Priority 1 needs to be fixing the o-line. Nothing else will matter if that doesn’t happen.

What has Campbell accomplished that Earle Bruce didn’t? “Nobody else”?

 

[FDCy83]

I have heard for years that CMC is absolutely fine with close games, so he won't allow the offense to be explosive. And now I believe CMC is absolutely fine with LOSING close games, so he won't change the OC or OL coaches or allow the OC to build and explosive offence. I am somewhat glad there is only one game left this year till we see if JP is happy with the product we are getting.

Some coordinator jobs at P5 levels can lay more than head coaching jobs at G5 level.

According to the below article, OC at Miami makes 1.4 million.

Redirect Notice

Candle makes about 1.2 million as head coach at Toledo.

Toledo coach Candle still comfortably highest-paid coach in the MAC

The University of Toledo’s Jason Candle stayed as the highest-paid coach within the Mid-American Conference, according to USA Today’s annual coaches salary ...

The offense generally looks lost at times. I saw several plays yesterday where a blocker took the wrong assignment. No excuse for that at this point of the season.

 

[AlaCyclone]

I became an Iowa State fan when Earle Bruce was Head Coach, and I think he was just as good or better of a head coach as Matt Campbell.

That being said, a few things Campbell has done that Bruce did not do at Iowa State:

Beat every other conference team home and away.
Have the best record in the conference (2020)
Win 9 games in a season (2020)
Finish ranked in the Top 10 (2020)
Win two Bowl Games (2017 Liberty and 2021 Fiesta)

Three of those were in the 2020 season, but the beating every other team home and away is the most impressive thing he has done to me.

I’m really tired of substituting so late we can’t get the play off.
