Yes, that information getting out would be wonderful. We have people crying like someone just slit a puppy's throat in front of the picture window of an orphanage over things that may not even be true for the interviews that did happen, so let's start speculating about who we did not interview for the job.

But we are still trying to get two more interviews, and we were still interviewing today after Campbell?

ISU was working under the assumption that Campbell was the guy and cancelled a series of interviews (atleast 2, possibly 3). Things leaked too early today and further discussions were had (though not sure if in person or on the phone, possibly one of each).

It would seem that Campbell's side was trying to force the hand of others and it may be having unintended consequences for all parties. Numbers were discussed but nothing had been accepted (some say anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5).

So to those that accuse me of being too general, I've been incredibly detailed and accurate once again and will still get bashed. Track record is around 95% but clearly haters gonna hate.

when have we paid market rates? A mid-range big 12 coaching salary would be about 3-3.5 million this year.

I mean look at the numbers. If you're looking to pay 1.5 million for a coach youre not even trying at this point. As a P5 team, we should probably be at least willing to pay a mid-range pay.

The mid-range big 12 coaching salary isn't for coaches just starting their job. I would expect to pay less than that. Market rate for Campbell is probably in the 1.5-2.5 range. That isn't low-balling it is just what it is. Now if there are competing offers and we won't raise our offer that is failing to pay a market rate.

I believe you. But you talk about how your track record is 95%, but no one but you has any idea if that is true.

For example, we will never really know if interviews were cancelled. We won't ever know what the first offer for Campbell was.

And honestly, you are the most sensitive person I've ever seen. No one has bashed you in this thread. I certainly don't feel like I am bashing you, but with you sensitive disposition, I'm sure you feel attacked by me.

I don't think Jeremy has anything to gain by lying to posters about what he has heard or not heard.

I thought Rhoads was your man? What happened? Jfc.... As much as you puffed your chest before the season this is hilarious.

Do I have to stop being a Cyclone fan because CPR got fired? You know how close we were to beating Iowa, Toledo, OSU, and KSU? This team was clearly better than last year, just like I said. Didn't reach a bowl like they were capable of though, but they were going in the right direction and it'll carry over to next year reguardless of who the coach is.
