If he leaves for more money I wouldn't view it as selling out. If I was offered a bunch of money to jump ship to another company , I would do it in a heartbeat.
Campbell not going anywhere but home to his family

College football's surprising new cradle of coaches
Mount Union in Alliance, Ohio, turned out the current head coaches at Iowa State and Toledo, along with prominent assistants at Ohio State and Michigan, who all emerged from an intense setting in which about 10 percent of undergrads play football.

I'm hoping Matt Campbell continues to do what Larry Keheres taught him at Mount Union. I'm pretty sure that's what we're seeing unfold in front of us. Larry Keheres never left Mount Union and hopefully Matt Campbell feels Ames is the place he wants to establish his legacy and establish his "coaching tree"; I never tire of watching Kyle Kempt congratulating players as they come off the field - he's going to be a head coach some day!
$4 million in Iowa versus how much to equalize Cost of Living in California. Really don’t see how Campbell Culture fits in with USC and California Culture. Campbell is a Midwest guy.

I hear what you're saying, but why did CMC leave Toledo?
We can all stop saying "if he leaves for more money". He won't be leaving because of that. End of discussion.
And besides, he ain't leaving.
Non P5, lack of money for assistants, low fan support, no money for facilities, etc.
Before you say McCarney invented Iowa state football you need to look at Earl Bruce and Johnny Majors. Look at Dan McCartney's big 12 record it was awful how can you say that about him and inventing Iowa State football???
I would not. I have changed companies in the past. When it was about money, it was because I didn’t get a raise for 8 straight years. I plan to stay at my current company until I retire and I won’t even talk to others about a different opportunity.
Not everyone is out to maximize every dollar they can. Campbell is set for life financially if he stays at Iowa State. He does not need more money to accomplish financial goals. If he leaves, it will be for professional reasons, not money.
I wish the worlds worst hangnail on some of the posters in this thread.
To me this is the answer. But it leads to the next question. What doesn't Iowa State have that he wants?
Money? I don't buy it, he can get more here if he wants.
Prestige? Big time opponents? Better weather? The family wants to move?
None of those seem likely or convincing, but the combination could be. Who knows. As @JStanz51 said, we'll all have to wait.
I think there are other reasons he wouldn’t pick the USC job bs other jobs or staying at ISU. CA homes are increasing in value ridiculously fast for the increasingly rare few who can afford one, it’s actually a money maker for a guy making millions to have his main real estate investment in CA, far outpaces any cost of living drag.
The story of how Matt Campbell came to Iowa State is well known and has been told on this board many times. The story came directly from Matt himself.
