This would make about as much sense as when Hoiberg took the Bulls job. Unless Campbell has a burning desire to coach in the NFL, I don’t see it. Plus I think any other nfl offer would be better than the bears
Agree.

One of the worst jobs in football.

And him interacting with the fans and Chicago media?

Not to mention that team and organization have real problems.

I would think the Bears’ best hope would be Kliff Kingsbury. For Matt’s sake, if he’s were to go to the NFL, I would hope he would literally go anywhere else…

I think Chicago is going to have to settle for someone somewhat desperate to redeem himself.
Gruden, with Gardner Minshew, mortgage the future to sell out on Defense.

Hard nosed coach. Weird quarterback and a stout defense has been their most successful seasons.

Hope CMC stays, but if contract extension and all the bonus $ he got can’t keep him from looking, he might as well go. As a long time Lion fan, I am certainly happy he didn’t go to Detroit

Option 1: CMC got a phone call, he picked up the phone and had a conversation.

Option 2: Jamie Pollard is playing 5d chess. Got matt to sign a huge buyout contract and immediate started trying to get Matt hired somewhere else to collect.

Option 3: The SEC/ESPN put this rumor out there as part of their disinformation master plan.

I’m not in Doomsday mode, though Matt’s willingness to officially speak to/“interview” with NFL teams right now tells me a few things that might be true:
- He has NFL ambitions (at some point)
- He feels he has achieved enough at ISU to consider what he’s done means he’s leaving it better than he found it
- He wants to learn more about how it works in the NFL.
^^ Maybe this applies to how you run a college program in an environment that grows more professional by the year. Or maybe he uses this knowledge to prep for a Pro job he really wants when that time comes (Chiefs, Browns, Steelers?)

He’s given us almost a decade. He won a Fiesta Bowl. He’s taken us to two XII titles. We just beat 10 win Miami on a neutral field. I’d be sad to see him go, but things have never been better for Cyclone football. I wouldn’t hold it against him if he left now.
