None that would come to ISU. People build P5 ties by being P5 coaches. They gain recruiting inroads through... you guessed it, recruiting. I would have liked to see a different offense, but maybe just having an offensive minded head coach will help build on the young talent we have in there, and his O-Line experience will help too.
Besides, maybe we will have better luck recruiting the upper mid-west than in Texas anyway.
Unless it's Lazard, Lanning, or Warren (obviously it's not him), I am not terribly worried. I mean, any losses hurt, don't get me wrong, but those three guys are all sophomores or younger, and have incredible upside. If we lost one of them, I would be very upset. The rest can fill in around them, though.
ESPN posted an AP article confirming what I assume is the counter offer:

Jon miller and fatty Deace think its an awful hire. Shocking. Safe to say it's probably a great hire then right?
Most of the time football players stay. So I'm not especially worried.
Bur it it's understandable that some players are struggling with things. Despite what many of you think, a lie of those players liked Rhoads and the other coaches. It hurts when someone you like and respect is going to he out of s job. It's been s tough week for them.
I think some players, in the heat of the moment, say they want to transfer after their head coach is fired. I get it, the guy who brought them in, recruited them, coached them for years, etc is leaving and now you want to leave to.
However, once they really think about it and get to know the new coach, most change their minds and would rather stay. This is especially true for the key starters. You can stay on a Big 12 team and start, or you can go to another P5 school and sit out a year and then maybe start. Or, you can transfer down to the FCS. Their best option is to stay put.

Think whatever you want. I don't care. Just saying I've heard differently than Jeremy. His response indicates that he has at least heard the same, too. Hopefully nothing comes of it.
None. I was just stating how someone could be unhappy with this hire (which is why I quoted that post in my reply). Campell just seems pretty run-of-the-mill to me.
We'll see. Hope I'm wrong.
Let's see. Warren keeps his coach (assuming LA stays) and the other two building blocks are from 30 miles away. Lanning used his redshirt already and Lazard is a diehard cyclone m our best defenders are Jucos transfers they aren't going anywhere.
It must be a match made in heaven. Deace says it's a terrible hire and a mistake while @tomfornelli says it's Campbell making the mistake.
@BobbyLaGesse: Also, expect Louis Ayeni to stay on staff at ISU with Campbell now in charge. The two worked at Toledo together.
Besides, how many guys on the team aren't very replaceable?
warren -staying
campos - already RS
lazard - claims to be staying
lanning - already rs
tucker - nope
harris - nope
mills - ?
peavy - ?
cotton-Moya - ?
thats about it for guys tough to replace
So someone could hypothetically be unhappy with the hire because a hypothetical non-existent perfect coach wasn't hired. Okay then. I'll stand by my post.
It doesn't matter if they think it's a great hire or a horrible hire at all.
also, if somebody wants transfer, big deal. I don't care who it is. 4 years to play football they should do whatever they want
