Nebraska sux
- Thread starter BWRhasnoAC
- Start date
I don’t think it was last year. But he has before. He does everything but say there’s no way. I’m not criticizing what he does at all. I’m just saying it wouldn’t be crazy for anyone to ask him about the news reports. The Nebraska stuff is coming from an actual reporter.
And while I would never be dumb enough to say "money doesn't matter," the reality for Campbell is:
- He has shot down other opportunities that probably pay as well as Nebraska would
- He could stay at ISU and his great-grandkids could have financial security - he's never getting fired
- The way his compensation is set up and frankly based on what his lifestyle appears to look like, he doesn't spend but a small fraction of his current salary
- I don't believe Heacock is going to make another move except to retirement, probably when Campbell leaves or even sooner - Heacock won't go with him if he takes another job.
- Manning probably will not leave with hopes of getting the HC job here when Campbell leaves - Manning probably doesn't go with him unless he doesn't get the HC job here to replace Campbell
So while most are full of **** when they claim the decision isn't mostly influenced by money, but Campbell knows he will never get fired here. Of course Campbell fully believes he will succeed anywhere, but he also knows that going about anywhere else the chances of getting fired and having a bump in the career path are greater than zero.
So for the millionth time, this is not a debate about whether or not X job is better than ISU. The debate is whether or not the current job in question is better than he could get if he was in the market. The answer with the Nebraska job is that it is probably not.
Agree on the origin of the rumors.
But if there is anyone who knows it's all BS, it's Cyclone fans. Just don't get why CF posters waste any time on this.
I don't think a single poster in this thread thinks Campbell is going to Lincoln.
But it is pretty funny to mock Nebraska for their arrogance and their current pitiful state considering the way their athletics programs and fans behaved for decades only to betray us in the end.
Watching those haughty pricks, after decades of them talking down to us and cheating and looking the other way at rules violations/major disciplinary issues/making a mockery of academic standards/steroids/etc. on their teams and hearing from them how they were going to "dominate" the Big Ten...
Feels goodddddddddddddddddddddd.

I think mostly to stick up for MC...he is SO MUCH better than UNL and their sh*tty football team.
Glad Campbell will be able to beat Iowa twice this year when he takes the job in a few days!
Liepold should be THE target. I don't think people appreciate what a freaking dumpster fire that KU job was when he took over. If they give him 3 years they will be good. Not a playoff team, but very good.
So of course they will never do it.

It gets tiresome when fans of certain schools just think, “oh we will just take your coach.”
Nebraska, Tennessee, Florida State, Michigan State, USC, Mizzou… this entitlement is a bad look. It’s not the whole fan base, but it’s maddening how the uninformed just assume CMC would bolt from poor little ISU because school B is bigger and has more money.

Exactly. You have to get in to the mindset of these idiots. Ask Nebraska fan what is more likely:
Leopoldo as next HC
OR
Bill Belichek as next HC
I bet it’s 70/30 the latter
Steph with the best response.
People close to the program will say the same thing. There is a small list of jobs out there that Campbell would consider and they’re programs that he has some personal affinity for. Nebraska is not one of those programs. If Campbell is simply looking for more money, he can find it at a better program than Nebraska. And if it were just about money he’s be gone already.
I think Campbell does a really good job of just not entertaining those types of questions (publicly). Of course, it’s not something you’d want to out and out confirm in the middle of a season, and a denial just leads to a recitation of coaches who said they were staying, then did exactly what they denied a couple of weeks or months later. It’s a no-win situation, so why waste your breath?
