Campbell’s Offense
- Thread starter KCyclone2010
- Start date
Wow, it's good to know that when we fire Campbell there are plenty of football savants here to take his place. I'm sure everyone here ripping on Scheelhouse was uber successful their 2nd d as y in the job.
Luke Fickell just got worked a bit out at Wazzu.
I wonder if getting a brand new shiny coach is kinda complicated.
I'm not sure ISU has a scheme. I think they want to run the ball but now that's not working. Throwing 5 yard passes to the edge over and over makes it hard to sustain a drive.
They never seem to be able to get the ball to a wr in an space and was the OL that bad that could not throw deep
I think calling 2020 a fluke year does a disservice to the players.
The talent that we had in Purdy, Hall, and others was amazing. They were able to brute force their way through a TON of the coaching-error ******** that we've been seeing for the last eight years. They carried Campbell and the rest of the coaching staff on their shoulders, not the other way around.
Now that those stars are gone, Campbell is completely exposed. There is nothing to counterbalance the terrible offensive play calling. There is no saving grace after needlessly burning eight minutes of clock. We were good because of the players on the field, not those wearing headsets.

If 2020 was a normal year, we lose to Iowa at home like we always do. We also don’t get to play WVU and Ksu teams in December who could barely field a team due to covid sit outs. Would have also played a better team and lost in the Cheez it bowl or whatever than the 4-3 Oregon team we played that lost to cal and Oregon state.
How about scrapping the zone read totally.....it is not 2011 anymore and it serves no purpose. I swear on the first drive he literally gave the ball to the running back when the Hawk dlineman had crashed and was hugging him....like exactly what you are not supposed to do....it is the whole freaking point of the zone read.
Too late now, but the last 8 months the zone read practice snaps should have been spent with something more innovative and original in the playbook....like a qb under center with a quick scrum snap. something different. anything original or on the front side of trends.
I think ISU beats KSU and WV that season but more like 27-14ish scores instead of faux blowouts that made them look better.
The game at Texas was great but also relied on Mess to make bad decisions to let ISU hang around.
We will see how this goes. I do hope you are right. I do not have confidence in the play calling under Campbell.
At this point, what do you expect some of us to say? I can almost chalk up another Iowa win next year. A pattern has been set in play calling and in the Iowa series.
2 yrs ago with brock an breece an Kohler. THATS when the **** show started....I'm matt, but kirk is who I dream of being. I wish our team played in a ****** conference, an had a instate rival game where the coach wants be just like me
Now it really feels like two years before the Rhoads era ended.
It also feels exactly like when everyone said hire TJ instead of Prohm.
Full circle.
Remember when we beat Oklahoma because the staff and team had nothing to lose so they went with a walk-on QB and played with reckless abandon?
What happened to that staff?
Did they get paid too much?
Hungry dogs fight harder and run harder.
Campbell can't even get his team up for the biggest game of the year.
Quit making excuses for a multimillionaire that can't adjust.
This isn't fun to watch and there is no creativity, innovation, or even adapting to what the defense is making available.

It's hard not to disagree. Good post.
I hope that in 4 to 5 years things will be consistently better, if Campbell is still here. After last year, and the offensive play calling today, NIL, and the new Big 12, we are not trending in the right direction.
We gave up 4 big plays… one was a pick 6. Ballgame. Our D is elite. If our O can rise to slightly below average we are bowling …
Iowa is
Supposedly have good tight ends
Even with the other success, you want to know when I started really doubting Campbell?
At Baylor. 2019.
When they made ISU take their tents down.
He should have said no tents, no game.
Absolutely dare the bastards to push through ISU's players to take down some shade, which was a player safety issue with temps that hot on the field.
It was 122 degrees on the ISU sideline.

I'd go back to we lay it all out to win this game win or lose. Helps basketball is coming soon
My guess is that Pollard’s patience for CMC declines significantly w/ the new conference. Even if he loves what CMC brings as a culture coach, he also has to see that the conference is up for grabs and the current incarnation of ISU football is hens laying eggs.
