Matt Campbell to Penn State??

I think it was probably flirting with the Gopher job that bugged a lot more people. A guy that wasn't sniffing a mid-major head coaching gig and Pollard takes a chance on him. Fred got every raise and extension he asked for, and still was apparently interested in the Gopher job. Then maybe calling the Husker gig his 'dream job' rubbed people the wrong way.
Fred did an awesome job coaching here, was a great player. I absolutely don't blame him at all for getting out of Ames and going to the NBA. While I thought Bulls job was destined to be a clunker due to personnel and Foreman/Pax
I see why people have a little bit of negativity, but I think eventually that should fade away. It would be a hell of a lot easier to root for him if he was at Wake Forest or something.
As for Campbell, not sure how someone can be pissed at him. But it's going to be tough. I want Pedo St to lose every game into perpetuity for that garbage fanbase trying to rationalize Paterno's failures. They deserve to have their program in the dumps forever. F them.
Blum is thanking his lucky stars he got out before all the poop hit the fan.
Or if it was a premium post, just don’t say anything

Just to be clear, IMO Campbell is not moving because of money. Like I said, people tend to switch jobs for personal growth. Money can be one of those reasons.
But more likely, after 10 years he might be looking for a new challenge. The longest I was with a single employer was just under 10 years and in that span different jobs.
I haven't seen what is being referenced, but Blum and Williams have been on record multiple times claiming that they believe Campbell and Otz will be in Ames as long as they feel they can compete here at the highest level. My assumption is that Blum essentially said the AD is not providing the resources for that.
Maybe that's where all the blaming of the fan base came from this morning.
Because if that's the case, given how CF functions as an extension of the athletic department, we can assume that is reflective of the attitude in Ames toward ISU fans. In which case it may be time to re-evaluate relationships with both entities.
Wonder if BYU being on the outside looking in of the playoff is part of it. They have a better resume then several teams.
I doubt he would. I think once it's finalized he'll be headed to Happy Valley to start work there.
He'll immediately focus on psu if this is final so you don't have to worry about that.
That farmer is hugging his cows SO HARD right now that he doesn't owe the free beef anymore.
So there's a winner in all of this, at least.
This is actually shi##y a## reporting from Shannon IMO. Player speculation off a social media report.
I’m caught up on all CF pods and got no sense that Blum is at odds with the dept in any significant damaging way. Maybe I missed something. Just seems like an industry in transition.
