Coach Hoiberg had far stronger ties to Ames/ISU and he still abandoned us...

Jamie said a while back that after the season was complete, he was going to have to go over all the finances to assess the damage a COVID year did, and how to deal with it.

I don’t expect that’s a quick and easy process.

If we lose this guy because “we all have to make sacrifices,” it will be hard to get over.

I think 95 percent of coaches are looking for the next best opportunity. I would expect Campbell to move on at some point and his stock can’t get much higher than it is right now. I would not be shocked if he went to the jets

Just think, in a few years he can coach Nebraska!

He should go through the NFL interview process if for nothing else to get the experience of the NFL interviewing process. He's not going to the Jets (hopefully) but if a better NFL job opens up...and they always do...he'll be better prepared to land that job if it should present itself. But my hope is he stays at ISU for the foreseeable future.

If urban Meyer would consider the jaguars, it wouldn't be ridiculous for Campbell to consider the Jets

Sounding like there might be some actual smoke to this Jets story. I'm starting to not feel so great.

Would be interested in what you are hearing outside of one story that the Jets are interested in him and want to talk. Or is there some hyperbole going on here from you?

If this happens its because Pollard wont give him a raise. Plain and simple. If he cries Covid reasons, he just needs to look down the pew at his Church buddy as a way to find money. Some MAC coach can do what Prohm is doing for a quarter of the money.

However, according to Pro Football Network’s Tony Pauline, it is extremely unlikely that Campbell jumps to the NFL.

“Matt Campbell is a name that always crops up. It cropped up last time the Jets had a head coach opening. He’s talked about a lot. From what I am hearing, it’s less than five percent, and even maybe less than one percent, that Matt Campbell is the next head coach of the New York Jets.”

Is the New York Jets situation right for Matt Campbell to transition to the NFL?

There are multiple reasons that Matt Campbell might not be the next head coach of the New York Jets. Although there was interest from the Jets back in 2018, Campbell ultimately turned down an interview in New York. On the NFL Draft Insiders podcast, Pauline expanded on the reasons why the marriage of Campbell and the Jets seems so unlikely.

“I really think that number one, Matt Campbell’s only going to leave Iowa State for the NFL if the situation is perfect. I don’t see the New York Jets as being a perfect situation for him for a variety of reasons. Matt Campbell likes the college coaching game. He’s not going to move onto the NFL unless it is perfect.”
