This is the problem. Was it actually all ISU “fans”? How do we know for sure? A head coach, or any leader should be blocking out that noise publicly at all costs, while handling it internally with the team/program, not fomenting it.

So you only like Campbell if he gushes over the fan base?Sounds like a participation trophy kind of attitude.
IMO Campbell has been at ISU long enough and has won enough to be critical of the fan base if he sees an issue.
Awful easy to be a Monday morning QB. Message boards are great, but they also provide a forum where fans think they are Stephen A Smith. Football can be just like life, sometimes the right decision turns out bad.
If I hear one more comment about how things used to be im gonna throw up
We can’t have reasonable expectations at Iowa State, we used to suck!
same boat I'm in. Who effing cares where we were...we aren't there...and the expectations are now different. The fact is, CMC is a highly paid college football coach. He is expected to win games as the coach.
I love our fanbase but we're sometimes more enamored with the people that we really don't know than we are with those same peoples objectives.
Clearly you didnt go to Memphis in 2012 to sit in the rain and watch us get blown out by a team we already beat that year. We had 25k fans there because we were that excited to be in a bowl game...If we go 6-6 this year and go back to the liberty bowl I bet we dont have 15k people there.
Yeah, I don't think he had any ill intent with those words but they just came out wrong and it's fair for fans to not appreciate that comment.
He's got a better winning percentage than any ISU coach in the last century, so he must win some games.
I get that and all but I've been a season ticket holder since 2005 and have sat through some really miserable games/seasons. I will never forget how things used to be.
Id say scoring more than one touchdown in two games (one of which against a poor defense) is a reasonable expectation.
People pulled the same crap with Prohm here too on his death bed. That one was far more absurd
We've definitely played the game of "only lost by X points" a lot the last few years, that's a trend. An L is still an L regardless of how many points it spread over. Can't win games without scoring points.

That's definitely the first time I've heard someone say they don't care about winning and that they just want touchdowns. Kudos for honesty, I agree, I wish we scored more touchdowns the last 2 games but I wish even more that we won.
There are still people who defend that clown. He was awful. But comparing Prohm to campbell is a joke. The guy has actually built a program, prohm destroyed one.
Shockingly unknown to the casual observer, scoring touchdowns tends to correlate with winning games, especially when your defense prevents the other team from scoring touchdowns.
Based on this professional analysis, I recommend trying to score more touchdowns. That would seem to be the correct move.
