You should check out this cycling team. They started as an all diabetic pro team and I believe they still are.Met Brayden at an amateur golf tournament this summer and have been friends with him ever since. As a type 1 diabetic myself, I always thought it was cool meeting someone else who also had it. He’s a really nice kid. I wish him nothing but the best going forward!
I think it comes down to personality sometimes. Campbell has a very specific coaching style and it's probably a little old school for some people. Not saying he couldn't hack it but if it's true he thought the job was his when he signed, then he doesn't understand the way Campbell runs his program. He probably could have stayed on and battled for next year, but saw the writing on the wall as Assalley finished the season fairly strong.Only 2-4 on fgs for the year and all were 40+ yarders. Staff must not have been too impressed with him in practice.
He didnt handle kickoffs I didnt think. I thought Paddock did.
Totally screwed up not offering Matthew Cook.

I guess Iowa State's kickers are dragging that stat down in a big way. This is from data collected in about the first half of the 2018 season.Still would like to have a guy that kicks it in the back of the endzone 80% of the time, like most teams. Kick coverage for most part was really good, just rather give up the 25 and not deal with chances of a return.
Fair catches were made on just 11.2 percent of kickoffs in the Football Bowl Subdivision through games of Oct. 13 or approximately half the season. There were touchbacks in the end zone on 45 percent of kickoffs while 40.6 percent were returned (compared with 51 percent returned for the entire 2017 season). The remaining 3.2 percent of kickoffs were either out of bounds or onside attempts.

From Big12Sports.com, for 2019I guess Iowa State's kickers are dragging that stat down in a big way. This is from data collected in about the first half of the 2018 season.
With over 60% of kicks returned or fair caught I don't think 80% of most teams' kicks are in the back of the end zone.

Thanks, JBH. Not a single one, including the blue bloods, coming anywhere close to 80%.From Big12Sports.com, for 2019
