SI reporting ISU working on deal with Campbell

[SpokaneCY]

I'm on-board so long as he has at least 7 fake punt plays and he uses them each game.

Does he love Jesus? Christianity and family values are number one criteria for me. That's what we need to turn this around. Replace smoke on the water with christian rock...now we're talking. JP best AD in the country.

Paul Rhoads hasn't even had his last press conference, and the reports are flying. I do think this is very smart in Iowa St's part. Get it done before other programs have a chance.

This is the exact reason why you fire a coach with games yet to play.

Recruiting was my number one criteria in this search, so I don't know what to think.

Not nice. Low intergrity. Not the Iowa State way. Prefer last place but moral victories and right way of doing things. Praise JP and JC.

Works for me. Reel him in JP!

Exactly. People were crapping on the decision but it was absolutely needed in order to be in play for a guy like Campbell.

I'll feel better after the announcement.

 

[brokenloginagain]

man, cornerstone church wins again!


too soon?

 

[casey1973]

At this point I'll take anybody. Anybody. New coaches, new schemes, keep Lanning, Warren, Lazard and some others and throw a little luck in there and maybe we can win a few more games next year. Change can be a good thing.

Yeah, staff will depend somewhat on that.. im curious what recruiting ties he has given he's lived and coached his entire life in Ohio.

I'd also wonder what our top-line salary we were willing to offer was when casting the net.

 

[Shawker]

I think jumping on someone quickly is a good strategy given all the openings/potential openings. Virginia Tech has already locked up Fuente from Memphis.

 

[huntt26]

How many starzz does he have?

 

[BigLame]

Punt-Fake U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#rowthesoup It works for me. Maybe #servethesoup

Developing talent is more important IMO, than recruiting. Look at Iowa, KSU, other teams around. Dont recruit great, but know what they are looking for and develop it.

 

[Rogue52]

Multiple interviews scheduled for other Iowa State candidates have been cancelled, per the sources

Hmmm, ok.

 

[Smallz0r]

Alright who already updated his Wikipedia page?

 

[tim_redd]

I preferred him over Fleck, but I'm not completely wowed. That's probably a good thing though, cause JP's wow hires usually fizz out.

Funny, people mocking Campbell for his faith (the biggest "WHO CARES" factor out of this entire thing).

People mocked Prohm too - seems to be doing okay so far.
