COACHING SEARCH: Campbell up, Fleck down

[cygrads]

Monken not on the list?

Be prepared to be disappointed

Now that we seem to have identified a pool of finalists, it is the next step where we've gone wrong in the past.

This time just hire the guy you don't have a good feeling about.

Yes, take the Costanza approach, I like it!

 

[cygrads]

But there's no guarantee that any of these guys are going to be any good. We all want Iowa State to take that "next step." I think it's worth a gamble. Go with the guy who gives you the highest upside.

Having said that, I think that Campbell would be a nice hire. Young dude. Energy. We'll see.

While Fleck has highest upside what makes us think he will realize it at ISU before he leaves? Easy for us to sit back and say it's worth the risk when it's not our job on the line.

Fleck is kind of a weirdo personality wise, may not be what JP is looking for.

Best, and hardest thing, an executive can do is to hire someone not like himself.

Les Miles

Best grass in the nation Les!

Fleck is kind of a weirdo personality wise, may not be what JP is looking for.

JP does tend to let things that don't matter determine his hires.

Between the two of Campbell and Fleck, give me Fleck without doubt.

Still hoping for one of Fritz, Stitt, Carey or unknowns (hopefully including Moglia).

 

[SpokaneCY]

I wouldn't say Fred was exuberant at all.

not khrist-like but some folks thought he was jesus h. khrist.

Not sure Fleck has the highest upside. IMO, Campbell has the best resume. Campbell has been a winner everywhere he has gone. IMO, he is the best fit. Good solid football coach.

 

[SpokaneCY]

Millions of dollars and lost years.

Been there, doing that as we speak. We've perfected lost years and now we're cutting multi-million dollar checks to say babye.

 

[SpokaneCY]

Be prepared to be disappointed

That's exactly how I proposed to my wife over 25 years ago!

 

[swarthmoreCY]

I totally agree with this. What do you have to lose?

smh.
Taking risk for the sake of risk is very CW.

You mean he has only gone to places that win.

Quite possibly the most ignorant thing I've read on this board. Congratulations.

[ghettocowboy4cy]

I'll have to pass on Campbell... Would rather have Calhoun or state

 

[MartyFine]

If we can't get Campbell then we need to go after either Les Miles or Brian Ferentz

 

[jdoggivjc]

smh.

What exactly are we risking - not winning 3 games next year? Not winning 8 games over the next 3 years?

 

[ripvdub]

Everyone needs to remember that ALL this info should be "taken for what it's worth". Just enjoy the rumblings until our new guy is hired.

 

[Rogue52]

Seems as if the big donors called and cried about Fleck. Think we need to take the risk.
