Matt Campbell to Penn State??

[FallOf81]

Something seems very odd here ... like Campbell knows we are Fuc*ed a few years out and sold his soul to the Devil.

We'll be okay.

Username checks out

Easy to talk about culture, attitude, and ethos until someone drops a bag at your feet.

The amount of people on here who buy into the "I'm never leaving b.s." is astounding. Remember when Hoiberg was gonna turn down the Bulls to stay in Ames too? Cael Sanderson,etc...

Not at the very end of the cycle when all ISUs best options are exhausted? And he’ll pilfer the roster and we will likely loose 1/2 or more of the recruiting class. Anyone who doesn’t see this as a 3 year blow to ISU football, a developmental program, is kidding themselves.

It wasnt his problem PSU struck out on options 1-43. He was option 44 and it is without question a better job.

You posting history says otherwise

History.

As in, the past.

I've also had investments I wanted to sell, couldn't, and it turned out to be a blessing.

Life moves fast friend.

I feel physically ill. This sucks.

There's NO WAY he can be coaching in our bowl game... don't tell me JP would ever allow that BS!

Or a better opportunity to achieve the ultimate goal in your respected profession. He'd be an idiot not to take the job. Why the **** would he stay in Ames? To go 8-4 the rest of his life? He's turned down better jobs to stay in Ames. After 10 years it's only natural to want a new challenge. Especially when you realize you've probably maxed out at a certain place.

No, that would be the worst decision Jamie would have made through this whole ******* process and it sounds like there were lots of bad decisions.

I'm curious if Campbell leaving the Jacobson building after the meeting with Jamie means anything.

Im sure PSU will welcome you as a fan

I dont't disagree, nor do I fault him for taking it.

Still don’t understand being mad at him. Everyone changes jobs. Coaches all use the same language, culture, trust the process, all of that. He’s a coach. They sell everyone that stuff. He took a higher paying better job. Something most of us would do in his situation.

 

[12191987]

Now that's a long and lonely walk right there. But worth it when you have millions!

He made over $5M a year at ISU.

If his personal pay package was in any way a factor the guy is a fool.

"Guys, you have heard a lot of chatter the past few days. Yes, a program presented a strong offer. But I am staying! I am staying to continue to make us the best version of ourselves."

People are allowed to feel what they want. Frankly, I don't understand why you wouldn't be mad about this. This has the potential to be a very detrimental thing for our football program. It's a big ******* deal and it sucks.

 

[clone1990]

Good for him but I remember his comments about building something long term similar to
Bill Sneider. Hopefully TJ stays around long term.

He should have taken $5 million at PSU if that's the case. Money ALWAYS means something.

Ah man what a bummer. Still love Ames and ISU though, Campbell or not
