Congrats on the hire, Cyclones! Excited to see how Campbell does at ISU. Young guy with a record of success that's done will in tough jobs.
I know recruiting is tougher from Ames, but ISU has the pieces to be competitive. Very strong and loyal fan base despite recent struggles, good facilities, etc. Baylor and TCU have geography, but it's not like they built up competitive programs with only 4 & 5 star recruits. Snyder has found success from Manhattan. The sports media makes the ISU job seem impossible. But it's definitely not.
Hope Campbell gets it done for y'all. Next year is a good one to rotate in a new staff. With some good personnel coming back, he'll have a great chance to up the win total in year 1, get to a bowl and immediately create some strong momentum.
