I have a VERY hard time seeing Campbell ever wanting to move to the NFL. Another top tier college program, possibly, but I just don't believe he is a person who has any aspirations of being a HC in the League.
In honor of my trip to San Diego this week...
How long before Kirk tweets out "Dear NFL teams thinking of making a new hire I’ll save you your coaching search firm fee-go DIRECTLY to Ames, IA and get Matty Campbell FAST!!"
Probably the second after we beat WVU this Saturday.
I'm with you. I was completely surprised by his name in the article. Of course we've all heard the rumors about big college programs, but this is the first I've heard his name and NFL interest. I'm sure the McVay success in LA has NFL GMs looking for other young, energetic coaches to build around.
The Browns job could be coming open soon...
...and Baker Mayfield just needs some confidence, man.
The guy would be the next Paul Brown if he brings a Lombardi to Cleveland.

Think again. Bringing a Lombardi trophy to Cleveland is his dream job.
Yeah, you are making that up with no other reasoning than he is a football coach from Ohio.
No; in interviews he's expressed his undying allegiance to the Browns. KXNO, podcasts, etc.
CMC is raising his family in Ames. He's not leaving. Not for a long time. We will build a statue of him in Ames.
Yes. He is a big fan of the Cavs also. i.e. a person from Ohio.
Fred Hoiberg was a person whose dream job was known from the start of his coaching success. Even if he never said it word for word, you could tell. Matt Campbell has never given that indication. What he has said is how he loves the recruiting aspect of college football, he loves being able to mold young peoples minds and make them better people, he has said how he would want nothing more than to create a lasting legacy at a single place, which is rarely done in todays college football any more.
If you have any indication or quote that shows he has interest in moving to the next level, or taking on a larger challenge, then I am more than happy to eat crow. But your statement was based in assumption.
I love the guy too, but I'm just hoping for some meaningful November football for a couple of years before we lose out on the sweepstakes for his services. Anything beyond that, I'm just setting myself up for heartbreak.
CMC does not have the winning record for the transition to the NFL yet. I say this not to be a Debbie Downer but he's had 1 winning season at a P-5 school and a few winning season at a MAC, thats just the facts of it right now. A few more successful years here, then maybe.
