Seems like 90%+ on here thought he was coming back.Where’s all the people who earlier in this thread thought he was leaving?
So, can we assume that an extension was indeed agreed upon that we will learn details of later? CMC and JP tweets seemed a bit more cryptic than normal.

You sure it was 100?For the 100th time, Jamie has said that there’s no rush this year because the regular season was still going on when it was signing day. No reason to rush.
A part of me thinks that Matt does get annoyed with our clingyness and our abandonment issues. But then I also think that when people do crap like this, and undermine ISU and it's humble accomplishments that he has a soft spot for us.
Matt is a smart guy, he understands our abandonment issues. I figure a couple more rounds of us worrying about him leaving and then doesn’t should really galvanize this fan base.
Does anyone else think that part of the reason Campbell appreciates Iowa State (or at least why he took the job in the first place) is the way we treated Paul Rhoads? The kind of patience and appreciation the fanbase and AD gave him seems rare in today's big time college athletics.
That he's not a New York guy? Weird..
Kidding aside, y'all realize NFL is a whole different animal than NCAA, no?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'd rather keep a coach a year too long, than fire one a year too soon. A revolving door of getting a new coach every 3-4 years wont work at a place with a limited budget to attract coaches. Iowa State needs to sell stability and longevity over a high short term salary. What else do we have to sell new coaches on? They'll be paid near the bottom of P5 coaches and it's a tough place to win consistently. If coaching candidates also know they'll have a short leash, why would they want the job?I'm going to borrow this for the basketball threads.
The time and leash that Pollard gives his coaches is attractive.
It also happens to dovetail nicely with our limited resources to be hiring and firing often.

That's not to say we can't fire coaches. I just don't mind hanging on to someone for an extra year when most schools would have pulled the trigger.
According to the link Campbell is 41st. There are 39 P5 coaches (and one G5 coach - Holgerson) ahead of him. That means there are 25 behind him (including Kelly @ ND). That puts him in the 38th percentile of the P5.Campbell is paid near the bottom of P5 coaches?
