    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    I’m not sure I like Power 18 but it’s better than the Big 12 which definitely needs rebranded. Nationally the name Big 12, brings up thought of power teams leaving and the view that the remaining teams are not valuable. We need a strong name. But Power 18 sounds like we are chasing the Power...

    Mid-American Energy Field at Jack Trice Stadium

    Jamie knows what's he's doing and he's always ahead of the curve. And I think this is exactly what's happening here. The only way Campbell stays is if he has the cash to keep the assistants he wants to keep. Jon Heacock rocked the Big 12 last year with his defense. If he does that again he's...

    DC Announcement theory...

    Sign me up. Ohio is a hotbed of coaches. Plus there already seems to be an Iowa State connection... Tom Herman, Chris Ash, not to mention Earle Bruce. If Ohio wants to funnel championships through Iowa State, I'm all on board.

    DC Announcement theory...

    Thank you again for your insight. It's great to have someone with an inside track into this coaching staff willing to tell us about their experience. I'm really excited about the people we have hired and feel they might just be the team to turn this program around. I'm grateful to Toledo and...

    DC Announcement theory...

    Hey Tolfbfan. What type of a defensive scheme did you guys run the last couple of years? Did he have the players to do what he wanted? What should we expect? Thanks for all the insight you've provided into MC and staff!

    Houston/ Tom Herman

    Yeah, we're on the same page. Just a few and highly sought after guys.

    Houston/ Tom Herman

    Yeah, you could be right. He might not recruit Texas and he could end up very successful without any Texas recruits. But I think that would be a missed opportunity for Iowa State and for Matt Campbell and staff. We play in Texas more than any other state outside of Iowa. We can guarantee any...

    Houston/ Tom Herman

    Most Cyclone fans do not want another Texas team. I think to most of us, adding Houston would only validify them and make it even harder for us to recruit Texas. And while Campbell is going to focus on the midwest, we can not ignore recruiting Texas. That would be suicide. I think most of us...

    Contract details for Manning, Gasser released

    Campbell is hiring the guys he wants. We are paying them fair market value. Market value for MAC coaches getting promoted to Power 5 schools is going to be low. If and when they prove they are worth more I believe Jamie will give them a raise. Paying them little their first year is a no...

    Other interviews for football job

    The point of the firm is to identify the best fit candidates. You start with #1 and go from there. Jamie was on the plane before the 2nd half of the WMU and Toledo game. He was there in the hopes that Toledo would lose and Campbell would interview. There is no doubt Jamie got his guy.

    Defensive Coordinator Possibilities?

    How about Alex Grinch at Washington State. He runs a 3-4 defense. He also played at Mt. Union, I think at the same time as Campbell.

    More "Under the Radar" Names

    That's true but look at his recruiting classes. The guy is getting some serious talent. Of course that could have a lot to do with location also. Rhoads said one thing in his last press conference that really made me think. He said line up all the guys from Texas and ask how many of them have...

    I'd take Taggert or Doeren over Fritz. I just think Fritz is a more realistic hire.

    Favorite Football Coach Candidate?

    The one thing I don't like about Fritz is that if you just look at his record at this past stops, it looks like he builds up a powerhouse and then loses steam. I'm not sure he can sustain success.

    More "Under the Radar" Names

    Someone who reminds me of Doeren and Harsin that no one has mentioned is Blake Anderson at Arkasas State. He's the coach there after Hugh Freeze, Gus and Harsin. Good recruiter with JUCO ties. Runs an offense that fits our personnel. 3 million buyout though.
