If he loses 5 in a row like he did last season at ISU, he won't last three years.
Different era. CMC will have a shorter leash in my opinion
Campbell is also going to lose to the Northwesterns and Purdues more than Franklin did.
I haven’t read all the posts in this thread but it’s odd how many people think Campbell will fail miserably at Penn State. He’s an outstanding coach and a good human being. It’s sad he left Iowa State but man what a run!
He doesn’t have Heacock anymore which was his teams entire identity.
Same with any upper P2
Franklin got a relatively long leash, at least in the sense “PSU will expect titles”
CMC likely will as well
I like the attitude but it doesn’t do much for us. I personally hope Matt falls flat on his face. I had gotten over this until the thread resurfaced and I got mad all over again. Not that he left and took our guys it’s how everything has been handled after the fact. Making us sound like everyone was doing us a favor by being there, like we weren’t funding their checks this entire time. Just my opinion and I know it isn’t very popular.
I haven’t paid attention, but even if he has been profuse in praise, I hope the ex players excel but they disastrous coaching blunders results in mediocre results
Nothing personal, that’s just best for Iowa St
I hope he coaches special teams at his new job. If I remember correctly, he covered special teams during his time here.
Yah for as controlling as he was in most every aspect of the program ... he screwed the pooch for special teams. Just flat out messed it up. He will never admit that. We lost at least 2 games to the Fawks because of his not caring. Who knows how many others. Remember that punter from Australia he was spell bound by. What a joke.
Exactly. If PSU doesn’t make the playoff 3 out of the first 5 years, he will be firmly on the hot seat. It’s so stacked for Big 10/SEC none of those coaches will make it long if the don’t make the Playoff every few years, unless your name is Ferentz
I mean when you are sloppy second ... you are sloppy second. That's Matt at pedifile U.

Yeah, that's not unique to Penn State. All of the big jobs are like that. High expectations are par for the course. Nobody takes one of those jobs without knowing that they need to deliver. We're not that far out from ISU fans telling Matt that he was on the hot seat. I'm sure his eyes are wide open when it comes to expectations, as are anyone's who accepts a head coach job at the power level
The USC offer was a done deal if the assistants would have left with him, but they balked!
