How so?
The loss the other night was rinse and repeat from the season...KState just finished the job.
I predict Pollard will seize the moment and Extend Campbell...

If he could extend Campbell and increase the buyout again that would be tremendous.
Code Red! DefCon 1!
It's Monday after the end of the regular season and the contract extension has yet to be announced!
Where is the flight tracker thread?
We need to track CMC and all of his assistants going on "recruiting" trips.
Gentlemen we need to man our battle stations!
(Am I doing this right?)

It’s really shameful how bad some of these “fans” have become.
when we lose, I feel bad for the players and coaches. The ones who lay it on the line, and put in the time.
I don’t feel bad for very many of the fans tho. They don’t deserve it.
Campbell in just 4 years has single handedly taken us from the point that if the Big 12 collapsed (not that I think it will), we’d be left in the dark to me feeling incredibly confident we’d get into a P5 conference. In 4 years! Some of you people have lost your god damned minds.
Lock that **** down. He should be in the top half of the conference in salary.
Years we had more wins than where we currently stand at 7-5:
1903
1906
1971
1976
1977
1978
2000
2017
2018
Maybe we should do everything we can to keep this coaching staff.

Some are starting to sound like hok fans.
Excellent post. ISU must keep this staff for a long time.
For the offensive coaching staff, things I would like for them to work on:
Offensively, they need to take a long look at our 3rd down play calling during the off season. It was the Achilles heal to this offense all year, especially when ISU got to their own 30 yard line.
I think ISU converted 38% of 3rd downs all year. Ranks somewhere around 80th in the country. That is not going to get the job done.
Another thing I noticed all year, and maybe others that were down on the field a couple of times could correct me, but I thought Purdy's cadence seemed off/or predictable. Teams teed off on us all the time on third down all year, making it difficult to convert. Especially the good teams that we lost to. Got to clean that up offensively. Teams got an edge on us for some reason on 3rd down. It's the little things at times that need corrected.
All in all, ISU had a ton of chances this year to elevate the program, especially as it is year 4 for this coaching staff. **** happens. The culture has been changed though, and that should be a breath of fresh air for our fan-base. ISU is super competitive and really has talent and coaching that can win this conference. Removing anyone from the coaching staff at this point is completely absurd.
I think the coaching staff loves being in Ames too. Most of them have young kids and they all get together for games and are close, so they really have that family feel together. That is an important aspect. They're still a young staff that is playing in a big time conference too. They took their lumps this year, but ISU still had some shots to elevate that W/L column if some bounces went our way.
Travel for New Years and support this team. Have a blast. Go win the bowl game!
A big bump in pay for the staff would be well deserved. The market rate for this staff is a lot higher than what we’re paying, so I hope JP can get something done.
Conventional thinking says that you need to give your head coach a raise and extension to show the recruits that he is staying.
However, as long as a coach has more than a few years on his contract, it could be argued that not taking a raise and extension is a stronger statement that the coach is staying.
I could see Campbell in a recruit's home talking about all the other coaches who take a big raise and still jump at the next offer of a bigger paycheck, but "I put my money where my mouth is in terms of being committed to players I recruit because we are building something special in Ames, Iowa."

Guy (Husker fan) says Campbell is interviewing for FSU and USC but I can't find any confirmation or source for this on Twitter. I assume he's just dumb and making crap up.
Any one else see this??

I have been looking at the FSU and Arkansas sites and both have very unofficial rumors that Campbell said no to both of them and is out of the picture. It has been entertaining to read these sites. Both sites think the AD's need to help Campbell (and other potential hires) get a SEC quality coaching staff! I think it is funny to think that Campbell would ever go anywhere that told him who he had to hire for his coaching staff!
I don't know about USC, I don't think they have fired the coach yet, and I think that would be by far the strangest fit for Campbell and his staff.
