I can tell Toledo where to get their next HC - go get Willie Fritz if they can get him. Excellent coach with proven winning track record - he will get them the MAC championship they want and beat NIU as well. I hope we hired Gary Pinkel and not Tim Beckman.

I don't mind the hire. I know I would feel way more excited if he had a MAC champ under his belt.

Now I see that Georgia fired Richt. I know its a different level of coach they're looking for, but just one more school that we would have been competing with if we didn't strike fast.

Too bad Richt isnt more on the ISU level. He's good.

On your second point, I can see them doing this less with a decent QB. If the Toledo QB could've thrown a medium range pass with any accuracy they would've blown ISU out earlier this year.
To be fair, the same (or similar) could be said about ISU. Or St. Mary's Sisters of the Poor for that matter. "If we had a better team, we would have beaten you."

Having Campbell locked up today is nothing short of brilliant. There are going to be so many openings, but we don't have to stew about losing the guy we want.

I am not overly excited about this hire. It isn't very sexy and I have serious concerns about his recruiting but the optimist in me thinks given the amount of other vacancies this is probably the best we could hope for. I am really interested in who his assistants are because IMO that's gonna make or break him.

Fritz and Niumatalolo were my top choices but Campbell was a close 3rd. Very happy with this hire. Only time will tell but I think JP got it right this time.

Besides, how many guys on the team aren't very replaceable?

warren -staying
campos - already RS
lazard - claims to be staying
lanning - already rs

tucker - nope
harris - nope
mills - ?
peavy - ?
cotton-Moya - ?

thats about it for guys tough to replace

Seeing how Campos played this year, he is completely replaceable.

I'm confused about why you would be concerned about his recruiting? He's going to hire a coaching staff to help recruit. Recruits like young coaches like him they can relate to better. He's getting better recruiting classes at Toledo than we are here. It's going to be easier for him to recruit to a Big12 team, with great facilities. What's the problem?

A+ on getting Campbell signed up. Great job of out maneuvering the competition and selling ISU

Campbell as a hire is an incomplete for now. Wishing the new boss better luck than old boss

@NickPiotrowicz: Matt Campbell has begun to call some Toledo players to let them know the news is true. A tough conversation for both sides.
