Ahhh yes I’m the one on tilt, not the guy setting a record for dumbs in a 7 day period.
It’s ok, trust me bro.
PSU Campbell Presser

- Start date
It’s ok, trust me bro.
Never really thought about this much. Not sure why, but I wonder if that was a big portion. Most fans always considered Heacock as the guy who pulled things out most games. With egos as high as they are with Campbell, he had to dread losing Heacock and possibly having this cost you a game or two.
Not a record, would be nice though.
I would be surprised if that wasn't part of the calculation. If Heacock was one of the more important assistants in the Campbell regime (as it's been reported on CF), Campbell has to kind of roll the dice after he retires.
Matt was probably thinking if he has to roll the dice anyway, might as well take double the salary and have a huge budget to get whatever assistant coaches he wants.
Head coach in waiting? PSU alumnus.
Bill has been great for wbb at ISU, but until the audi and Addy team he was kind of riding on his 2000ish era accomplishments. Personally I hope he retires at the end of their era. No idea who I want to replace him.
TJ, Pollard needs to do whatever it takes to keep him, good coach, great portal manager, hits all the check marks.
Dresser and CJL hopefully we keep them wishing them the best in the new structure of collegiate athletics.
I hope that Jimmy holds us at our current level or exceeds it for a long time I've always said above .500 is a good place for ISU to be. 8 wins on up is gravy in my mind.
Wish them all the best in this ever changing world of collegiate athletics.
Not sure this needs to be reported or an “if” statement. ISU won a lot of games and the Campbell era had elite defense, mediocre offense and hot garbage special teams.
Not even with Purdy, Hall, Hutch and Noel was the offense as good as the defense.
“I never said that our goal was to play in a conference championship or the playoffs, our goal every day is to just be the best version of ourselves”
Good to see you back and simping for Campbell again.
Don’t kid yourself. Michigan State has plenty of pedos within their athletic program.
You clearly have some personal and emotional attachment to him. Maybe sit this one out. Or go join a Penn State board.
I think that the Lions were interested. Dan Campbell even made jokes about how he was telling his agent to make teams think he was Matt Campbell to help him get interviews. If you google it you can find reporting on that.
And it’s not like teams ever announce that they tried to hire someone and failed, for obvious reasons. But between the Lions and USC, those are two pretty high profile jobs and makes it likely that there were others.
On the flip side, I saw rumors that Campbell tried to let Notre Dame know that he was interested in that opening and I don’t think they ever considered him, so it’s not like he could just have any job he wanted.
I’m sure there was interest, a lot of teams show interest in coaches if nothing else y get a feel for them in the future. Having intrest is a lot different then “he turned down offers”.
That’s the equivalent of saying every job interview anyone has ever gone on is an offer which I just don’t think happen. The only sources people have are “trust me bro” and their love or CMC (understandable).
You really have to be a moron to think Campbell didn’t have many opportunities. Schools were calling him the moment he had an 8-5 season in year 2 after we had been a dumpster fire for years. He had 2 top 5 wins within 4 weeks. Every year from 2017 on he was supposed to leave us according to every outsider.
I never said teams didn’t show interest, I stated the opposite, but if you think he turned down NFL jobs or other top cfb jobs to be the 5th choice at PSU during a full rebuild I have a bridge to sell you. Not as nice as the cytown bridge but I think you are getting a steal of a deal.
To be fair it would have been completely different times in terms of his own personal life and the college football landscape. I don’t think there’s any reason to think he hadn’t been offered other jobs given what we know.
Yeah, I understand. There has been a fair bit of confirmation that he nearly left for USC. Beyond that it’s just going to be rumors about which other jobs he was offered.
But I do think it’s likely he could have left many times. There are a bunch of openings every year and people with less impressive resumes get opportunities every hiring cycle.
It’s like before this year if fans were debating which jobs Kyle Whittingham could have. You couldn’t find any confirmation that he was turning down jobs every offseason but common sense would say that he would be desirable if he was open to leaving.
It didn’t take him 10 years to land a better job than Iowa State. He turned down other schools.
He would have left for USC thought back in 2023 if Lincoln Riley didn’t come into the picture last minute.
So again, he wasn’t actually offered the job at USC, Riley was. He wasn’t actually offered the NFL jobs, teams just talked to him. That’s my point.
He didn’t have the offers, so he didn’t say no.
