Yeah...now it's
FU@&
THE
PROCESS
in Slick Matt's world...HE'S GOT TO WIN A NATTY now...no time to "develope young men"

If history is any indication, He will 100% win a Natty at Penn State.

I'm very pissed at Campbell, as I've stated. It's not because he made a financial / business decision. It's not because he wants to go to a top program and win a NC. That is all very rational and I totally get it. If someone offered me a job tomorrow that was 2-3x my salary and a job I kind of wanted anyway, I'd be silly not to take it.

What I'm pissed about is all the crap about being our Bill Snyder or Ferentz. All the stuff about how he was "different."

Coaches are humans and say things in the moment that may look silly in the future. I'm sure Campbell genuinely loved his time at ISU; I don't doubt that. But you can't talk for 10 years about how you want to build a legacy / longevity at a place and then bolt for another program without damaging said legacy.

It's asking far too much, but I'd be less pissed if he just came out and said "I love Iowa State, I'm grateful for what they did for my career and my family. But my dream has always been to coach at a few select schools with the opportunity to win a NC. I'm leaving to pursue that dream."

Instead he came out with "This was such a hard decision to leave a place we loved so much. I need to be closer to family, etc etc." Just come out and say the truth. Stop trying to have it both ways. You saw a chance for more money and to win a NC so you took it. Good on you, but I no longer hold you in high esteem because that directly contradicts everything you've said for the past 10 years.

I thought he truly was different. He's not. I held him in much higher regard than a lot of modern coaches. Now, he's just another one in a long list.

Amen brother! Nailed it.

Link? I've not seem Sama officially named in the portal.

But no tampering going on here! At least that's what we're supposed to believe.

If Matt truly was telling all the players that won't be following him to PSU to stay at ISU and keep it going there.... do you think 42 players would be leaving? I don't.

Is gundy tampering? Is kliemann tampering?

probably... just like Chizik. And just like Chizik... if he does win a natty there, it will likely not have much to do with Matt, but he'll get all the credit.

Your narrative is heavily misguided. The coaches who brought these players in are gone. It’s simple as that, and if they can find new opportunities or money elsewhere, they’re going to look. A small fraction of the players in the portal for isu will end up at Penn state.

And we learned that ‘nobody’ on this coaching staff has connections to Iowa. CJR has never recruited in Iowa? C’mon CW, do some homework.

That and how many of Campbell's coaches had Iowa ties before coming here 10 years ago.

Rogers has said recruiting the Midwest will be a priority. So obviously, the state of Iowa will be a priority. It all comes down to Iowa State winning and the coaches showing kids they fit into what Rogers is trying to do. I would think kids will love playing in a defense that gets after it. And also playing in an offense that is the rage at the NFL level.

I love what Campbell did at Iowa State. But he doesn't have a corner on creating culture and coaches relating to their players.

Not if he wants to be a Cyclone.... this isn't hard to understand.

I would for once like to see an offensive line that doesn't automatically get a five yard false start every time they set foot in the red zone.

Is he even from Iowa?
