SI reporting ISU working on deal with Campbell
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Lol. Panic and harsh judgements abound based on lots of rumors, many of which we created ourselves.
@NickPiotrowicz: Toledo confirms officially that "an offer is on the table" for a Matt Campbell contract extension.
Would be interesting to know the terms. Could equal ISU dollar for dollar over a longer term. Something like a 10 yr contract that we all love
Fleck got a lot flack for "Row the Boat", I think Campbell should get some for "I am a Respectful Rocket" in the locker room. Couple of cheeseballs.
What do you do if the interview went so well that you knew you wanted Campbell. And Campbell says he is willing to take the job right now and commit if Iowa State is willing to commit to him.
Do you tell him no? We want to interview all the other candidates. And Campbell then replies that if that is the case then he will continue with interviews and will go to Mizzou next week to interview.
They had two 5-7 seasons and one bad season at 3-8. Beckman was the head coach. I get that Campbell was the oc but that's not his team. Campbell continued to win as the Head coach and that is great.
The reality is that most head coaches at Toledo win. Pinkel was certainly a good coach and was there a long time. Saban for a year.
The point is simple. Campbells record at Toledo means he has done what most do there. Hopefully it also means he is a very good coach.
Meh, that in and of itself doesn't mean anything. I'm sure Toledo would prefer not to lose him. It only means something if they mortgage their whole AD to keep him, or if other schools get involved.
Don't worry. People here think that the Iowa State job is the most desirable open job in the country. Everyone is waiting on the Iowa State job to see if Jamie Pollard will call them.
In the end, most job searches are crap shoots. Honestly, if all of the candidates on our list, they are pretty similar. Will one be better over the other? It's sort of doubtful.
Highest paid coach in the MAC is Fleck at $800,000. Campbell makes $495,000. Rhoads made $2.2 million this last year.
No way the Toledo offer comes close to our offer.

This is why i believe u interview all candidates that you have more interest in first, that way if u like one more than others u can put an offer on the table.
No, but they might get in the ball park. Different sport, but Ben Jacobson has had big time offers and continues to stay at UNI for a lower salary.
He makes them say please and thank you, etc. I think it's a bit cheesy, but hey, I complain about people being rude all the time. So what do I know.
You married your first, didn't you?
If it is a can't-miss, home-run guy, you may stop. For a guy like Campbell you say let's keep in touch and move on to the other interviews.
I am guessing Campbell would have needed to **** up, not impress in this interview. Just the JP way.
