Has Campbell Plateaued?

What good comes from a thread like this?

We regressed this year a bit IMO. Only 7 wins in a down year in the Big 12, and the last two games we got our a** kicked.... which rarely ever happens to CMC coached teams.

 

[Tornado man]

Whoa what did Campbell say?

"...to be honest with you I don't know if there were a lot of people that thought we would compete with our rival in our own state."

Hey Coach - we used to regularly compete with - and beat - Iowa.

 

[Rabbuk]

Do we factor in how bad the conference was this year?

That statement really bothered me too. It's like he's satisfied that we're even capable of competing with Iowa now. Ummm.... hey coach.... we should be beating them, not just competing with them.

And lose most of the rest of the games. Mac’s belief that there was only one game on our schedule was a sad state to be in.

No it wasn't. Don't make stuff up.

I think this team lost it's edge once we were no longer in play for the big 12 championship. Once that wasn't on the table, the team played like a NFL team that isn't in the playoffs but still has games to play.

We all had expectations of getting that far this year, it would be hard to stay motivated for anyone once you take the big goal off the table.

 

[CapnCy]

Overall a weird/blah feeling year (weather didnt help).

I think CMC has a loaded team and this year will show if he can take it up a notch. Honestly, a blowout in the first game next year would do wonders for us all and IMO would show we've progressed

Yes, it was. Don't confuse facts old man.

 

[BoxsterCy]

I wish OP would have asked if CMC was running out of gas!

The would be the proper CF vernacular.

 

[StPaulCyclone]

I thought the phrase here was “...ran out of gas?”

 

[Tornado man]

Yes, it was. Don't confuse facts old man.

Ha ha - like you know.

 

[Doc]

Most obviously have not.

If you do hard things you will inevitably fail. Some of these people are nuts.

 

[CyCrazy]

Ha ha - like you know.

You sure as shi t don't.

How's the conference season go back then?

 

[BoxsterCy]

That sounds like a pretty big walk back from his change the culture talk. It's why I don't listen to post game stuff anymore, just a bunch of self serving ********. And, as much as I like generally this coach, they are all full of **** when talking after games.

 

[CyCrazy]

How's the conference season go back then?

Don't confuse him with facts. But we usually won the 2nd half.

 

[BCClone]

Ha ha - like you know.

The guy had one winning conference season. He banked on beating Iowa

TornadoMan is still pissed we let McCarney go, it's bizarre.
