2019-20 FB Coaching Carousel & Rumors
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
We only have to look to the school to our East, to see a coach that made that exact choice. He could have took the Michigan job, but chose to stay where he was. Do you really think Iowa can ever win a national championship in football? Because they cannot, maybe Campbell thinks he has a great deal at ISU, making 3.5 to 4.0 million a year, in a great community to raise your family.
Under the current set up there are not more than 10 schools that can win a national championship, the days of an outsider like BYU going undefeated, and winning the AP vote are over. Hell, Baylor and TCU were 11-1, 5 year ago, and neither made the playoff.
So unless you are at a blue blood program, you are not winning a title in football.
Maybe just maybe, Campbell also realizes that like other have before him. He is at a P5 school with all the perks that come with it, if Ohio St., Michigan or ND open up, then go for it, but MSU or Arkansas, better to stay where you are.

He's due a $4.3M loyalty bonus on 01/15/20 if he's still their coach. They can avoid it by firing him.
How, if you are anyone at Arkansas or a fan there of, can you look at the entire big picture and not say "we are in the wrong conference"?
I mean it was bad before, but once Ta&m moved in they lost even more of any chance they had at recruits. In reality I really think they would be so much better a fit in the Big 12 and if the day ever comes we do expand I really hope they look hard at it.
I realize being in that oh so special SEC means you are something, but if you are falling farther and farther into the abyss is it really a benefit?
I do realize there is almost zero chance they would ever leave the SEC on their own, but looking at it from the outside I see it as a better option than what they have now.
I take them as a replacement for Baylor.
We can assume he viewed going from Toledo to the Browns as not plausible. Given last year’s NFL interest, going from ISU to the Browns doesn’t need an extra step.
I've mentioned this about 4 times to some of my friends/family. Coach Campbell does not need to go to FSU if he wants to some day be an NFL coach. My view is that going to FSU would actually be a step down from ISU in regards to the culture and overall program stability. Campbell would have to go Tallahassee and completely uproot the foundation there and that takes some time. Campbell is in a great spot at Iowa State and I honestly do not see him leaving here in the next 5 years.
what in the world is wrong with people in arkansas..?
i should have thought before asking that question. nvm.
campbell isn't going there, you Deliverance lunatics! (i know before ppl say something, that movie took place in rural georgia)

Baylor can perhaps never be forgiven for the horrific things that happened there. But, Big 12 Sports looks at them and sees a top tier football team, one of the better basketball teams, and then there are the women's teams in basketball and volleyball. The conference is not going to send them elsewhere. It boggles the mind that they can be competitive in so many sports, but somehow, some way.....
To pour salt on that wound, most of their alumni don't give a crap about their athletic teams.
Report: Art Briles being discussed for open FCS head coaching job
His name is loosely attached to the Lamar opening. He will coach at a lower level Texas college soon IMHO.
