I don't know how a recruit could turn that down. There's so much fake BS out there and snake oil salesmen. I mean, I guess the lure of the NFL trumps everything, but man, that looks like fun being a part of that.

Everyone just take a moment and appreciate the fact that Matt Campbell chose and continues to choose Iowa State. And you know the best part about CMC? He is the first to tell you that he didn't do it alone, in fact he wouldn't say he did it all. He would say that we did this as a team. In my opinion, Matt Campbell is the epitome of leadership.

I just think of Hugh Freeze and what a fake MFer he was at Ole Miss (and still is). Matt is the complete opposite.

This was fantastic.

And it just shows how great the last 4 years have been. One of the best things about last year is that it didn't feel like a flash in the pan. It was amazing, but it didn't seem like it was our only shot.

Absolutely.

You saw the same out of Purdy later on in the video. Hopefully there's some freshman or sophomore picking that intensity up right now.
That's the thing...cliche, but that IS now becoming the culture...our Jr/Srs this is all they know and will expect that from the young guys..goose bumps!

Build that man a statue. Build that man a statue right god damn now.

I'm with ya....i get the "industry" of coaching and his name will keep coming up anytime there is an opening...but there is a level of authenticity in that video that is hard to miss.....and he's GOT TO see that he literally could have a statue if he sustains!

Yeah, for the national people who think he's gone every year and can't understand why he would stay at ISU, there's your answer. For those who don't understand how ISU is winning despite not having top ranked recruiting classes, there's your answer. Culture is real.

Speechless. More than a coach, teacher, mentor, or whatever else you want to call him. He's a leader. So glad he's here.
