Yearly Matt Campbell to ?? Thread

[Pope]

I think the Stanford fake athletes one is probably abit bigger. But as an NC State alum I am contractually obligated to agree with you

The Stanford case wouldn't count because it was a college admissions scandal, not an NCAA scandal.

 

[wintersmd]

He has an agent? Or are you talking about his wife????

and his kids??????

If he leaves he leaves, or he will stay, none of us know what type of job he is actually look for to leave. I would guess that an ACC job is a lateral move right now, but if the league folds, then UNC would be one of the schools that both the B10 and SEC would be trying to get to join their conference.
Everything I have read and seen suggests that Campbell like where he is at and the direction the program is going. He doesn't seem to be the type of person that wants or needs to be in a national championship hunt type of school and he is reaching the point where he has a lot of influence here at ISU and as long as the money is their to make the program viable, I think he will stay.

If Campbell leaves, just let TJ coach football, too

In fairness to the media, they only have to be right once.

 

[CyNews]

Sportswriters are starting the annual Matt Campbell to more prestigious programs. Now it is replacing Mack Brown at North Carolina. How many times can be wrong and still get paid?

Stop it.

John Heisman (of Heisman Trophy fame) coached football, basketball, and baseball at Georgia Tech. There's a precedent.

That's a low bar, but so far they've not made it over - as far as CMC is concerned.

There's a reason it's among the classic oxymorons:
Jumbo shrimp
Military Intelligence
Accuracy in Media

 

[ISUTex]

Michigan sucks and their fans are very opposed to that.

No kidding. Obviously, it would never happen, but I seriously think he could be successful coaching ISU football.

 

[tolfbfan]

They'd have to look him up first.

And THEN they'd riot.

I am not sure I agree with that. I think he was Urbans first call for OC when he took the OSU job. He is well known in the the state of Ohio. If he makes the playoffs at ISU, then all our(OSU fans) modest fans will think he can win the natty every year with OSU talent.....lol.

The UNC scandal still stands as the largest case of academic fraud in the history of collegiate athletics, and that is not hyperbole.

Hundreds of UNC athletes in various sports were given academic credit for fictitious courses over a 10 year period in order to maintain their athletic eligibility.

However, because there were a small number of non-athletes who were also given academic credit for the non-existent courses, the NCAA decided in its infinite wisdom that UNC would not receive heavy sanctions because this impermissible benefit was not given to athletes exclusively.

And you wonder why people lost their faith in the NCAA.

There is a whole chapter about UNC in the book called "Fail U."

Earle Bruce? Earle didn't even win the Big 8, never won more than 8 games at ISU! MC has accomplished more than Earle did at ISU. Earle was hired from ISU to coach at Ohio State.

The world of college football in 2024 isn't even comparable to the world of college football in the 1970s! Earle Bruce was on OSU's campus for 5 or so years as an assistant so he wasn't some random guy they followed way over in Ames, Iowa. And yes...I was alive in that decade...I think Coach Campbell would be great for either school if he wanted to go there but their fan bases would demand that their AD get fired if he/she hired Matt Campbell. Both schools would look for a coach has had elite levels of success, has a direct connection to that school OR look for an NFL connection. Matt Campbell is awesome but OSU nor ND is looking for that type of coach. They just aren't...

Hate to say it... but i am.worried about usc. He almost took ot last time, and I'm guessing they cut ties soon.

No he didn’t.

 

[cyclonestunners]

No he didn’t.

Any source for this?

 

[chuckd4735]

No he didn’t.

The premium threads at the time disagree with this.

The premium threads at the time disagree with this.

There was nothing substantial. Just people claiming they heard as much.

My boss owns a hangar at the Ames airport and personally witnessed MC getting picked up by a plane with a USC logo a few years ago.
