to be fair, pollard has prepared us for him leaving every year.
I think of him (Brady Quinn) as a ND QB. I don't even know where he tried to play in the NFL. Either way, he is in great shape after his playing days. I'm just saying he's no Josh Huepel!
Should we expect a Campbell extension and raise? He has 7 more seasons left on the deal as it stands now. He made $4.25MM this year (maybe more for a bowl win, IDK). The TCU win was worth $250K since the base is $4MM plus $250,000 for each win above 6. So a ten-win season would put him at $5MM minimum.
I agree this was the safe move for ND. Can you imagine if they hired Campbell and Freeman goes to Duke or somewhere else, has success, and it doesn't work out well for Campbell at ND? AD would be toast. If Freeman works out for ND, great for them. If he doesn't, they can defend it by giving the internal guy that was popular with players and recruits the opportunity, then go after a guy with HC experience the next time around.
Look, barring something crazy, if ND opens up again in 3-4 years and pretty much anything between sucking and becoming a national power by Campbell at ISU, there's a pretty good chance he'd be a candidate and would take the job.
As for OSU, if Day sticks around at least another couple of years it buys them time to feel like either Hartline is ready to take the reigns, or see if Vrabel is tired of taking **** despite being a damn good coach. Vrabel's done a really good job, but we see it a lot in the NFL. Eventually even with success, short of winning Super Bowls, often both parties just get tired of each other and feel like it's time to part ways. I could see that happening with Vrabel in the next couple of years. Now, he'd be a lock for an NFL job if he wanted it, but I don't know if he's a guy that has interest in college or wants to stay in the NFL. But OSU would pay him a PILE of cash.
Kelly is only in it for the money. He'll be gone in a few years with a bag full of cash and a new job on College Gameday, making insane predictions and putting on mascot headgear.
Mmmmm....expect ticket prices to go up. And if you have tickets in a non-donor section, that will be changing as well. Welcome to the new normal. Cha-ching!
Matt Campbell's phone call with the Oklahoma AD (Castiglione):
Matt Campbell: Hello?
Castiglione: Hey, Matt! This is Joe Castiglione, athletic director of Oklahoma.
Matt Campbell: What do you want?
Castiglione: We feel like you'd be perfect as our next head coach at Oklahoma! We can offer you all the money you can dream of and a history and tradition richer than anything else!
Matt Campbell: S my D. Good luck in the SEC, bruh.
*Campbell hangs up*

I think Pollard learned from the Hoiberg situation. Campbell said he didn't handle his leaving Toledo very well.
Matt has never said he is staying forever. Or even implied it. He says he will do his best for ISU while here. His actios back that up.
Pollard is just being a good boss. The type of boss that wants his employees to improve and grow. If they outgrow ISU and move on, then he thanks them for what they did while here and wishes them well in the future.
That is one of the reasons why ISU is a great place to be a coach.
Even though I don't have any ties to ND, I thought his comments were very offensive to the ND players, administration, facilities, and fans. As an imagined LSU player, I would be thinking this is BS. Very few would equate LSU as an obvious upgrade over ND. I would be shocked if most LSU players would not have to think really hard if given a scholarship to ND. Now, I'm sure ND has much higher academic standards than LSU so maybe that will make it easier for BK to win NC as he says is his goal.
I think the top line is what got Coach O fired from LSU...
In his case, I'm not sure that's saying all that much. He was a terrible pro QB and only a pretty good (if overrated) college QB.
Why leave the comfort of the ACC for the SEC? Everyone that doesn't need a payday sees the writing on the wall. The next OU coach will be a scapegoat for their mistake to move conferences. Someone will be that scapegoat and be paid handsomely for it.
