Rinse lather repeat. I won't believe Nebby is "back" until they do it. It's been the same mantra from there for years and years.

Code for: a lot of the media circle jerk think it's a good idea. Which means absolutely ******* nothing.
I believe this article is wrong and Matt Campbell only has a $4 million buyoutAs much as a person likes anyone in the sports profession or even politics. Its foolish to rely on things people say in those areas. The list of examples is long of the coaches that have said something and 1-2 days later done the opposite. Not sure why coaches continue to paint themselves into a corner by saying things like " I am firmly entrenched, etc" , but I also don't understand why teams continue to fair catch punts inside the 5 yard line either....lol
But you are right....there comes a point where a blueblood comes crawling, you think you can win a title with them and they are going to pay you a guaranteed 100 million for 10 years. Could be hard to pass up.
End the end, I think we are going to have to find a way to get him in the ~5M range, provide more incentives like more $$ for winning the Big12 title or getting to a NY6 bowl/playoffs, etc.
And I am sure he is going to want more for his assistants.
But even if we get him at 5M he is going to be making half of the top jobs in College football. Do we really think Lincoln Riley is worth twice Matt Campbell? No, but that is just the way things work.
These numbers below do make me feel better about things considering there are a lot of good coaches on this list making the same or just above MC.
And the five most expensive coaches to fire:
1. Jimbo Fisher, Texas A&M -- $95.575 million
2. Dabo Swinney, Clemson -- $47.5 million
3. Nick Saban, Alabama -- $38.4 million
4. Ryan Day, Ohio State -- $28.416 million
5. Matt Campbell, Iowa State -- $28.333 million
Top 5 salaries in each conference:
Big 12
1. Lincoln Riley, Oklahoma -- $7.857 million
2. Gary Patterson, TCU -- $6.103 million
3. Steve Sarkisian, Texas -- $5.45 million
4. Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State -- $4.375 million
5. Matt Campbell, Iowa State -- $4 million
Big Ten
1. James Franklin, Penn State -- $7 million
2. Ryan Day, Ohio State -- $6.614 million
3. Pat Fitzgerald, Northwestern -- $5.748 million
4. Mel Tucker, Michigan State -- $5.632 million
5. Scott Frost, Nebraska -- $5 million

USA Today releases 2021 edition of highest-paid FBS head coaches
College football's highest-paid coach is also its biggest bargain.footballscoop.com
It would be a hard age, but they aren't that old yet. I was curious, and if the profile that WRNL did when CMC was hired is accurate, his oldest child is only 11/12.
That article would be way off if you are correct.
I figured it was another creative way to keep someone around. getting paid 28M to be fired is pretty ridiculous. but again, all of this really is....lol
Sounds like Matt was not offered by USC, but was the backup option if Riley said no.

The 12 hours that transformed USC football: How the Lincoln Riley deal went down
Patience and a well-timed recruiting pitch helped USC lure Lincoln Riley away from Oklahoma, sending shockwaves through the college football world.
I remember having this conversation about Fred Hoiberg's kids also...They like it here, etc.
The more I see from Fred, the more him and Campbell are different.
Sounds like there is little time to Coach when you are spending all your time picking out vacation homes, and boats, and everything. And there is no way that there is an effective rate of 50% taken for taxes.
When these things get put together not everyone tells the story like it happened.
I think Fred just wanted to be able to go to the grocery store without having to sign stuff or have terrible small talk like he could as a middling NBA player who wasn't 7'2"
No, still different. I will give the small talk because he’s bad at that. Money is a big driver for Fred (always has been and Johnny even alluded to it) I don’t see it that much from Campbell. Of course I haven’t had the more “intimate “ encounters with Campbell that I had with Fred.
That's probably why Pollard was testing out jetski's. Let Campbell focus on coaching without having to make decisions like which brand to buy. That's why he's the best AD out there.
Again it is hard to spend that much money. It is definitely possible but you have to completely change how you live. Someone who isn’t working or who has a different type of job can actually take advantage of some of that. A football coach doesn’t even have the time to utilize most of that stuff. They are at the football facility most of their life.
I make in the $40,000-$70,000 range right now. In order to move to say LA you would have to pay me $150,000 to even consider a move. There are plenty of people who would be drawn by less money than that but I think Campbell is much more like me than he is those people.
I do worry about some Midwest schools but the big flashy names I don’t think have the draw for him. Just because they can throw money around doesn’t mean as much as it used to. Like I said you have to be trying to spend as much money as possible to be worried about money if you are Campbell.
Someone mentioned that as a thing for Riley and his family. How in Norman and OU, you get stopped everywhere. In LA, you’re just another celebrity and a lot less likely to get stopped by every single person wanting a picture.
My understanding is it would cost ISU $28 million to fire CMC and his assistants with out cause but it would only cost CMC (or whomever hired him) $4 million to leave for another job.
