SI reporting ISU working on deal with Campbell

[CyFan61]

For those of you ******** about Pollard not keeping it quiet, when Pollard was involved the coaching searches were kept quiet (McDermott, Chizik,Rhoads, Fred), when Leath has stuck his nose in it names have gotten out (this search, Prohm). You all seem to think Leath is the best thing that has happened to Iowa State athletics, this is what you are going to get when more people know what is going on.

Sure, it's all Leath. Nothing to do with the Twitter age and the fact that everyone who hears anything can leak it easily to a reporter-turned-blogger with no risk of anonymity being lost.

It's not 2008 anymore when ISU hired Rhoads and every coaching search nationwide will and has had these types of "leaks" from one side or the other. We don't even know if this is Campbell's side leaking or not.

Also, who built Toledo into being a solid program? It certainly wasn't Campbell.

Who was it?

Campbell arrived with Beckman in 2009. Toledo had 3 consecutive losing seasons prior to their arrival.

Are some people here that naive to think that the leak came from our side only? There is a psossibility that his agent also "leaked" this to press Mizzou (or other schools) to make better offer

EXACTLY. That crap happens all of the time.

Whoops, could be a bidding war?

Smh.

According to USA Today Rhoads had a better record at ISU than I realized "If he becomes Iowa State's head coach, he will take one of the most difficult jobs in the Big 12. Paul Rhoads, the Cyclones' outgoing head coach, went 35-24 in seven seasons in Ames.

You're only hurting your own mental health arguing with that debbie downer troll.

1. If it is the Toledo coach, I like it. He's the one that I wanted.

2. For those of you ******** about Pollard not keeping it quiet, when Pollard was involved the coaching searches were kept quiet (McDermott, Chizik,Rhoads, Fred), when Leath has stuck his nose in it names have gotten out (this search, Prohm). You all seem to think Leath is the best thing that has happened to Iowa State athletics, this is what you are going to get when more people know what is going on.

3. I wouldn't necessarily believe that Iowa State has cancelled other interviews.

You are seriously the worst. Worse than clonedude.

.

Or it could just be that we're in an entirely different era as far as social media reporting goes. Twitter barely existed when Mcdermott and Chizik were hired, and was much, much smaller when Rhoads was hired. And fred was about a 1 day hire. Until Prohm we hadnt really had a hiring process exposed to this kind of scrutiny.

Never said it was all Leath, but the last coaching search was run much differently than the other ones had been. That had to do with the search firm and Leath. I like the idea of the search firm, but things are going to leak out more.

And every ******* coach knows it is a coach's market this year. Why wouldn't their agents play schools against each other.

So Pollard is butt hurt about this getting out? If that's the case, he needs to get over himself. It was opening talked about in the locker room after the game that Campbell will be the next coach.

I feel a lot better if Toledo is our only competition. I just don't want to get into a bidding war with Missouri or even UCF for that matter. UCF might not be able to match our offer financially, but you'd sure have to like their warm weather and abundance of high school athletes if you were Matt Campbell.

 

[CycloneErik]

Should I be writing an open letter to Matt?

How is this a question? Stop waiting and start writing?

Anytime you wonder if you should write an open letter, you need to write the open letter.

I CANT BELIEVE LEATH IS GONNA RUIN OUR HISTORIC PROGRAMS

I hope we at least gave other candidates a chance, but I doubt it.

 

[atlantacyclone]

I'd rather just hire Sage...

You are seriously the worst. Worse than clonedude.

Hey, watch it. I'm offended now. NOBODY is worse than me! NOBODY! You understand me.

At least you're not denying your role in being the biggest baby on CF. Carry on.
