He said nothing that wasn't a bunch of coach speak bs. Which is what he said here for 10 years and served him well. He will continue with his bs, as he should, for the entirety of his career. That is what he is supposed to do.
I can’t get past the fact that Penn State went all in on for the BYU coach which beat Matt at home partly because of a stupid muffed punt before they even went for Matt. Sure Matt turned down some pretty good jobs in years past, but I think other schools sense that he plateaued and didn’t draw the high interest he once did, even after going to the Big 12 championship. I think Matt could see his chances slip away at a good job and gladly jumped at the chance, who wouldn’t. But I feel we got the goodie out of Matt and Penn State now is left holding the bag. We will see. I appreciate everything Matt did, don’t get me wrong.
So you're glad he's gone then? He's a good coach but not good enough to win at Penn State yet he can win at ISU of all places. I'm confused by most of these posts.
Yes, there for over a decade, the previous three years very good years, a trip to the playoff last year, then fired mid season this year. I'd say they are trending away from "We'll give it time." The reality is, all it takes is one bad year. 8-4 isn't going to cut it at PSU. throw in a 2022 and he's definitely gone.
Woah...a couple of things here before you go off half-cocked...
1. You need to listen to Campbell's presser yourself...with an open mind...and know for sure what the context was in Campbell answering that question.
2. You think for one minute Iowa State is the only football team in FBS that has to go beyond what it receives from the university in pay for play to get morefunding??
Don't be so damn quick to condemn someone without knowing all the facts. If there's a better way to collect and distribute, people outside my paygrade will find a way to make that happen.
He's not getting fired for going 8-4 one year there. He could go 8-4 2 years in a row and they still wouldn't fire him. Its nothing like the expectations at Ohio State or any of the other top schools. As long as he wins 10-11 games normally and wins some big games he'll keep his job. Franklin got fired because he had an atrocious record against top 10 teams. Campbell was decent in them in Ames.
If I had to guess I’d say you’re right.
Follow the thread and you wouldn't be confused.
My initial post that started this was to someone saying PSU has only had 3 coaches in the previous 60 years and that proves they are not quick to fire. I say that is a flawed stat because one of those coaches held that position for 45 years. Again, it's not like they had coaches who did 25 years, 15 years and 20 years to make the 60. They had one guy do 45, one guy do 2 and another do 11, filled in the other few years with interims. And the guy they just fired mid season took them to the playoff last year. If CMC took ISU to the playoffs, he wouldn't be fired mid-season the next year for a bad start. And he shouldn't be fired. Hell, he made it through 2022.
No, I'm not glad he's gone. What I'm saying is he had a lot longer leash at ISU than he he'll have at PSU, he's not going to get 10 years to bring them a Big 10 championship and a National Championship. He got us close, but we never were big 12 champs. He's not going to get away with ****** Special Teams play year after year and it costing him games like he did at ISU. Just because it took PSU a child rape scandal to get rid of Paterno, doesn't mean CMC will get to stick around for 15 years going 8-4.
And yes, I do think CMCs closer to a consistent 8-4 coach than he is a 10-2 coach. Even at PSU. I think that's awesome at ISU and I wish he was still here. I don't think PSU fans feel the same way.
Why do people think coaches care about the "leash" schools give them? These are ego driven maniacs who like challenges. Guys who are dent in their ability don't worry about getting fired. They can always get jobs at places like Iowa State if things don't work out.
Places like Penn State have enough depth so that injuries don't derail a season like that. Our margin of error is much smaller when it comes to injuries.
Why do people continue arguements with a tangent topic after someone answers their previous question?
Because people like to argue and discuss things on message boards, it's what message boards are for. I'm surprised you are here. By your few previous posts, you project the attitude you are better than the rest of us and this message board fodder. Yet, here you are.
I think he gets a pass for 2 seasons, but will need to make the CFP in year 3 or the seat will start getting warm. Year 4 is make or break.
If he gets fired after year 4 or 5, will PSU be writing checks to Franklin and Campbell at the same time?

What I got it of that is nothing would have kept CMC at Iowa State and the part about a GM at the 58 minute mark, yes they had to create all that stuff because it was new just like everyone else. Probably helps having nearly unlimited funds and and donors which is the reasons Matt jumped. That and I believe this is one of 3 programs he always dreamed of coaching.
There's usually 8 easy wins on a big 10 schedule so he just needs to win 1 or 2 harder games a year. Something he nearly always did here. Probably will be ok.
