SI reporting ISU working on deal with Campbell

[LindenCy]

Also, can we move the entire religious discussion to the cave and/or just hand out 72 hour bans to everyone discussing it (oh please please, I vote for option B!)

I agree. I've heard a lot more about faith and our coaches in this thread than I ever have from administration.

In the past example, I heard nothing about faith from Chizik except for the chaplain/bagman and then suddenly later when his book came out.

I speculated this yesterday, but after the report that Campbell was a strong candidate at Mizzou and that he would accept if offered the job, I wonder if that pushed Pollard to fly to Detroit yesterday and meet with Campbell to try to get a handshake deal on this and beat Missouri to the punch.

CPR was a missed FG away from beating this guy twice.

But didn't and we were supposed to be the better program.

Jamby and Swarther:

Accept him. Embrace him. Or you're going to hate the next 8 months.

8 months or 5 years?

My disappointment is more with JP.

Good god, nobody is 'complaining about hiring someone of faith'. But good on you for the classic christian persecution act. People are just saying it shouldnt be as big of a factor as it seems Pollard might make it.

Iowa went that "family values" route after the Angie Lee debacle in late 90's .. LOL Steve Alford and Lisa Bluder.

One worked out, the other.... meh

They seem to not like their OC. Hopefully MC doesn't bring him along.

Also, who built Toledo into being a solid program? It certainly wasn't Campbell.

1. If he had been coaching at Toledo for a year or two that's a reasonable argument. But maintaining a program for 4 years is pretty good too.

2. Campbell was with Beckman (the previous coach) his entire tenure as OL/OC, so he had some hand in building Toledo into a solid program.

Holy ****, keep the Herpeye stuff where it belongs Jamby

 

[CyArob]

There. That sums it up.

Somewhere between 0 and 10 million dollars per year.

 

[chuckd4735]

I'm hearing a minimum of 10 years on his contract.

I wont be happy if that is true. 10 years is too long.

Korn went with Family Values too - seemed to work out for them...

Good god, nobody is 'complaining about hiring someone of faith'. But good on you for the classic christian persecution act. People are just saying it shouldnt be as big of a factor as it seems Pollard might make it.

No one was mocking anybody for their faith. The discussion was whether it was appropriate for that to be a requirement for the job.

If D UP doesn't like Campbell, then I know he's a home run hire.

Cycloneerikhawk.....you mad bro? Lol

 

[swarthmoreCY]

No, I'm saying odds are we would hire a Christian HC than not, so don't be surprised when we do especially since pollard is strong faith and people tend to hire similar people. Stretching things like you normally do.

You are almost there. Keep trying and God's speed.

 

[SpokaneCY]

More like Iowa State out CPR'ed Toledo, but the Rockets were very keystone cops themselves.

So they were good enough to win while not bringing their best? I'll take more of that for us.

I'm hearing that the reason he might not go to Missouri was because he wasn't religious enough...or maybe it was because he didn't worship Satan.

 

[CyJack13]

Well he can't be worse than CPR.

One more comment about religion in this thread, or others on coaching, equals an automatic 14 day ban, end of story. No exceptions, even for "jokes".

After watching a Rhoads' coached ISU team for the last time today, I'm just happy we're doing something.... anything.... at this point. It can't hardly get worse. Our guys wouldn't even give much of an effort for Rhoads on his last day. That's when you know it's time for a change.

1) Retro-fit a PLAYER'S Lounge in the football facility. Recruits EXPECT one.

2) Rhoads hard-hat mantra DID NOT WORK. In fact, he looked dorky at the end of the game wearing that thing

3) The culture has to be totally REVAMPED. The jucos this year at least had some swagger and were trying to transform it

4) We let a strength coach with a foot out the door--as well as a head coach on a warm seat design much of our weight room facility. fricking dumb. They're both gone and we're stuck with tens of th$usands of dollars worth of treadmills----they didn't help one bit

Cycloneerikhawk.....you mad bro? Lol

That seems like a good response I'm going try that with the missus next time she has argued me into a corner.

I was interested in this thread until it got all cavey. Thanks for that.
