I think he could because he has a strong personality and he really is a Hollywood type coach he's just in Stillwater. He has a strong enough personality to be an NFL coach so I think he'd handle LA with ease. He's the best guy out there they could throw 8 mill a year at. He's a proven winner and recruiter. Assuming Pedersen isn't in the mix anyway.

There are cave related reasons why I don't think he would ever be a candidate.

CMC comments at post game presser were interesting, one of the last questions, he said anyone who criticized Purdy early in the season should look in the mirror and try to be more grateful. In a way I think he was giving a preview of the future, if fans get to chirpy in the down years he may teach us a lesson. As long as Jamie stays, his wife is happy here, and cyclone fans stay in line he will probably stick around till the kids are older. At the same time though Iowa fans have tried to run Ferentz out of town a few times and he just is one stubborn man and will not leave, so maybe CMC goes that direction. CMC loves to climb the hard way up the mountain, I think that rules out OSU and the NFL tbh, I would think Notre Dame is the one we need to be worried about.

The question is not whether MSU or ISU are a better job. The question is whether MSU or Campbell's alternatives are better jobs. He has the luxury to hold out for an absolute top shelf college job if he wants it or jump to the NFL. If MSU was ever going to get Campbell it was going to be 3-4 years ago ahead of everyone and their dog knowing he's one of the best head coaches in the country. He's outgrown all college jobs that aren't absolute top shelf programs. Tucker has turned out well, but there's a reason MSU had to settle for a sub .500 coach in a bad league, and if Tucker is going to bolt that should tell you something about how desirable the MSU job is. Obviously Saban bolted as well. Dantonio stuck around and won a ton of games, but his third or fourth season was kind of a mess on and off the field, then he had health issues. It seems like the timing of those issues plus his age and health made him probably want to stick around, and maybe dampened interest from blue bloods to hire him away. Maybe there were some offers, but it seemed like there were a lot of circumstances keeping him there.

MSU is a fine job, but if there was ever an indication that Campbell ever floated he wanted to move on to another college job there would be lots of buyout dollars made available for much better jobs than MSU.

Very nice reply. I was genuinely surprised to not see his name mentioned for the LSU job. Dantonio stayed for alot of those reasons and the only job he would have been interested in was OSU. Plus once he got legend status at the school (for the worse in my opinion) he wasn't going anywhere similar to izzo.

If tucker bolts for LSU I understand because its probably a top 5 job just with insane expectations and tucker has never stayed anywhere for long.

When he leaves I am sure we will offer CMC again and he would probably turn the offer down again but there are reasons he would consider it at least.

I know what you are getting at and I don't think it would be a problem at all. It all comes down to football and winning games.

 

[Cydkar]

Anyone else getting tired of enjoying their day as usual and having one of these reports get dropped?

Never bothers me at all.

 

[Mr Janny]

It all comes down to winning games if you already have the job. There's significantly more to it when you're talking about getting offered the job in the first place

He's just like my late Uncle and his wealthy USC alum buddies if you know what I mean. They HATE losing.

 

[cyatheart]

Makes as much sense as illinois or purdue!?! You cant be serious with that one.

whats the difference between Illinois, Purdue, Minnesota or Michigan State as far as a football coaching destination? Colors are about the only difference. All of them are nondescript middling big ten schools.

now basketball might be different.

 

[cyclo120]

Just to continue the game of what ifs, if Manning were to take a head coaching job elsewhere, who would we have as the offensive coordinator? Would it be Nate or Gordon? If it’s Gordon that may free up a spot for Kempt to take over QBs.

In this what if scenario I feel like need to take every opportunity to continue to promote Nate and clearly Campbell realizes that giving him Run game coordinator while also taking running back and wr coach titles. I’m sure schools are already sniffing around him and we need to keep him as long as possible .

 

[tolfbfan]

I don’t blame anyone for getting out of Happy Valley at the first good opportunity. It’s just yucky for the non-PSU cult members.

Shall we cast the first stone! Just saying.....lol.

 

[tolfbfan]

OR: I dont blame anyone for getting out of Ames at the first good opportunity. Its just yucky for the non ISU cult members. WE HAVE COME SO FAR IN FIVE YEARS...YEA!

You know what happened in their football facilities right?

I guess I tend to just focus on football, so no, had no idea that was what you were referring too. I'm sure there are plenty of very nice people associated with PSU, so I try not to lump all into one basket. But, I guess I understand your point of view.

The difference between this list and their actual eventual hire is the same as the difference between a 5 year olds letter to Santa and what his grandparents get him.

Spoiler alert… the kids getting clothes.

 

[Cydkar]

USC needs to at least make a run at Mike Gundy. The guy would be great out there.

Not culturally

 

[deadeyededric]

Not culturally

I don't think USC is an overly liberal University. Maybe the administration a little. Their alums are some of the most elitist pricks you'll ever meet in your life. It's nothing like Berkley or any of the public schools. I actually think SC has somewhat of a reputation of being more of a moderate conservative college.

My grandparents got me car shaped soaps one Christmas. Clothes would have been an upgrade.

 

[deadeyededric]

Franklin must be losing steam. He's at 17/2 now. Fickel and Fleck are both 13/2, Cristobal 7/1, and Urb and Campbell are at 15/2.

 

[JP4CY]

Gundy, like Miles, is a good fit @LSU.

USC at a minimum needs to call Chris Peterson.
