Keeping Campbell

Well, it can't be any worse than how Hoiberg handled it.
The typical way is to publicly adamantly deny, and often have a contract guised as a hurdle to leaving. Fred on the other hand was closer to stating the rumors were true and his contract made it obvious with no room for plausible deniability.
At some point our fan base is going to figure out that this isn't 10 years ago and that Iowa State can afford to pay a pretty hefty price tag for a head coach and the assistance.
I refuse to worry about this issue until Iowa State loses a coach who is firmly entrenched in the culture here and has a 5-19 record...
Not to be a downer, but he probably said the bolded part above when he arrived at Toledo too. And he'll probably say it at his next job too. That's what head coaches do these days.
But of course every fan base feels their coach is different, and they actually mean it when they say it.
When a bigger name school hires somebody, they have to be able to sell it to their fans. Look how poorly Chizik was received at Auburn because of a lack of proven progress.
It would probably take a good 8 win season at ISU for that to be an easy sell to the fans at a new destination, or 3-4 years of 6 and 7 wins.
I want CMC to be incredibly successful here and for a very long time but let’s not pretend a big program won’t be looking for a bit more progress and consistency before taking a look at him.
Give him a good 500k raise to base salary if we win 6 or 7 this year, extend for 2-3 years and increase the buyout a lot. We could realistically increase his salary 4x if we wanted but then future increases become harder and less room for assistant salaries.

I was listening to the Game Broadcast on Saturday and JW had Jamie Pollard on during the rain delay.
JP said something to the effect of it's nice to have a coach that people want as opposed to a coach nobody else wants. And he also referred to how it'd be "pretty expensive" for someone else to get Campbell right now.

There are 130 FBS teams. 77 have coaches that have been at their program less than 4 years. Only 12 FBS teams have a coach they've had more than 10 years. It's a merry-go-round. Let yourself enjoy the time he's here without worrying about when he's going to leave. He's won 7 games so far as our head coach!!!
And LOL at those who think Ohio State's hiring him any time soon. If he rips off a couple conference championships or at least plays in the conference championship game a couple times, they may have him on a list. You do know who they can hire if they want to, right? The list is almost unlimited.
C'mon people, just relax.

36-24-36? Ha ha, only if they're 5'3"
Your threads suck. For real.
For me, the fact that he (and his wife) chose to build a house instead of buying (per Charter in a FAWCast) is a pretty compelling reason to believe what he said. But things change quickly in this world, just ask the last staff.
I could see Campbell wanting to build a program and make it his. Hope that is the case as he is destined for consistent success.
If we get to 6 or 7 wins I agree to the raise and buyout suggestions, but we don't need extensions at this point.
It’s an unfortunate need in order to get any coach to agree to a smaller salary or high buyout for longer term interests. If we expect an up and coming coach to be in it for the long term, we
have to show we are equally as interested in rewarding him.
Is someone who puts that much bend in the bill of their hat really someone we want running this program for years to come?
Yes, absolutely we do. Gotta have the bend imo.
Bold statement Cotton. Forgot why we all make up names and discuss things on a forum pertaining to a common interest. What sort of Earth moving conversation can you come up with? I'm all ears.
Better than some lousy flat biller
