Well our facilities are up to par, game day atmosphere is pretty good. Should be enticing to the next coach
Matt Campbell to Penn State??

- Start date
What am I going to eat tonight. It's been cold. Feels like a soup night.
Maybe we should all do the juicy wiggle dance outside his house. That will convince him to stay!
The damn November snow and arctic Iowa temperatures the last 2 weeks would make anyone want to leave here. Even for a place like PA. "You get used to it!". Yeah the **** you do.
God that would be hilarious if he somehow stayed. Penn State Fans down to their 9th option then?
3 years ago I would agree with you. Unless someone gets College Football under control this isn't good. at this point you need like 5-10M for just the head coach, gold plated locker rooms and now these coaches are basically getting a blank checkbook to buy players.
Drew, I believe PSU and Sitake are very lucky they didn't manage to hook up. As a BYU fan, I'm quite familiar with the situation in Provo. Sitake is an absolutely marvelous rah-rah guy for BYU and the boosters love him. He is EXACTLY where he needs to be given the overwhelmingly Mormon BYU fanbase. He is a good man and extremely popular with them because his strengths fit the HC slot at BYU perfectly.
That said, he is NOT a very good Xs and Os coach, and he's only going to do as well as his coordinators do. He doesn't know enough to help them do better. I could give you some concrete examples of that but I won't bore you.
Because of that failing of Sitake's he would NOT be a good match for Penn State and I'd have been amazed if he had lasted for even three years of the six his proposed contract offered. I am pretty sure his defensive coordinator, who is truly a brilliant football mind, would have been promoted to BYU Head Coach. Therefore, he wouldn't have been going to PSU and I doubt the OC would have gone either. Consequently, I strongly doubt that Sitake could have matched the record of Franklin's last three years, and that record of 10+ wins per season got Franklin canned.
We're not going to know now, but I am absolutely sure that Sitake to PSU would have been a disaster for both parties involved.
Yet Penn State would have less reason to be embarrassed than ISU.
Its possible, we have nothing but leaks from PSU at this point, no one at ISU knows anything, my guess is Campbell and his wife and oldest are fighting right now about it.
Oddly enough...the plan that MC brought to ISU would be laughed at today...good thing he evolved with the times! Facilities are just the beginning now...
Why would we be embarrassed? Our best coach of all time turned down more money and a bigger budget to stay at least another year. Campbell doesn't owe us ****.
Basically no one in the facility nor the players have heard anything official about him leaving. Because it has been 2 hours, the speculation is that nothing has been signed yet and it is not official yet.
