Ok,
I’m on board, if Penn State is that desperate, let’s have Pollard and CMC work a deal for $100 million for CMC/ISU, let him build for 3 years, then , screw them over and return to ISU and bring top players and recruits back with him.
Bank the cash.
Problem solved!

It has shades of FSU scheduling the press conference because they assumed CMC would of course say yes.
The Sitake thing is weird, but I see an angle where they’ve gone 11-1 and they are still on the bubble to make the CFP. Even with his alum status and love for BYU, a coach has to feel limited by that. They’re a top 4 seed with that record in the B1G or XII.
With Sitake being Mormon, coaching at BYU seems like a natural fit.
I could see it but I think he would do that once the kids are more grown up and off to college completely. Not sure its a move you make until later in your career
Prepare for rocky because some talks are going down tonight. Hope for good not bad news in the next few days.
10-11 Million dollars. Those are a few reasons someone would take it. You get fired you get 30 Million then go get a job at somewhere like Va Tech
If Matt believes that Penn St fans will listen for even a moment to discussion about being process rather than results motivated, then he would be way off...
The reaction to the "I never said that was our goal" line would explode Happy Valley.
I really don’t want him to leave and he’d probably be successful.
But I’d be rooting against it and would find great joy in him having to “perform” for the fans much more.
I disagree. I think there is a lot of Joe Paterno DNA at Penn State still and there was no bigger process guy than Joe. I agree with his:
"Matt Campbell is a stud as a head coach," Pate said last month. "I think he is perfectly cut out for the Penn State job. The edge, the grit, the attention to detail, the different way you have to sell Penn State... Everything you would want in a Penn State coach, he has." https://www.newsweek.com/sports/nca...or-ignoring-prime-coaching-candidate-11145527
It's hard to see why they wouldn't offer Campbell the job.
“I’d like to introduce our 8th choice new head coach, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx”
I know all of you “mature” people out there are on the side of if he leaves so be it. But that is not the mindset you should have. Sure he’s a grown man who coaches a sport that we frankly have no influence in or on. But a bad couple of years is not something the athletic program can survive anymore. You can’t go 2-10 every other year and expect to stick around in a power conference anymore, this isn’t 2004. Matt leaving could trigger an invite to the mountain west or MAC in a handful of years.
Don’t say that.
Clearly the package deal would be a huge win for Penn State.
I mean, assuming they learned their lesson about firing the current guy before finding a replacement.
