This. It’s a great career move and he doesn’t even have to pack his stuff and move. There was no certainty that he was going to be a full time coach at ISU. There would need to be some exits and promotions for that to happen. Might as well get some good experience calling plays.

I wonder who Campbell has in mind for his replacement.
That is not his job...sure JP could and might ask about potential replacements but it would all be up to and on JP! JP might not ask MC for his opinion at all if MC were to leave in this situation.

If CMC is around for the duration of his current contract, I don't thing Jamie will be the one making the next HC hire either. That will probably be Jamie's successor.

I'll add that this is a great career move for him.

But I think we will REALLY miss him. He was probably a lot more valuable than your average analyst.

You never know. Say they hire someone like Sage. Or Bret Meyer. We wouldn’t miss him much then.

We have no idea if Sage or Bret would be good coaches. We already know that Kyle is a good coach.

Which is why he got a promotion. All I’m saying is that losing a good analyst doesn’t automatically mean there’s going to be a downgrade.

He wasn’t even a position coach. He was quality control. Those positions are usually revolving doors, and they assist position coaches. Also neither Brett or Sage are taking that position lol.

No, they’re probably not. Although it IS a position where you don’t need to recruit and you could probably do a lot of it remotely. All I’m saying is losing an analyst is not a huge loss no matter who it is. Happy for Kempt though. If he wants to move up the ladder, this was a step he needed to make.
