Pure ignorant speculation on my part, but IF the environment where he raises his family is a top-line concern then Penn State may be on a shortlist of perfect destinations for Coach Campbell.

If by “there” you mean the 2000 Super Bowl then I’d guess most of America would agree.
Because nothing says great place to raise kids as a community that all hid a serial pedo forever.
Riley is a better coach than Campbell? What has Riley done with his two consecutive jobs of having infinite resources compared to us?
It's not exactly a controversial take to say that what's already happened at the top level will trickle down to lower levels, given a similar set of rules. That seems like it would be a pretty common-sense prediction.
I don't understand the people who don't view the wild-west-free-agency world as exactly that thing. We know how those work already -- some guys will take the highest bidder regardless of their national profile. Some will do the opposite.
Are you serious with this? I mean what part do you want to compare? How about 4 conference titles to 0? Or about 6 double digit winning seasons to 1? Or want to go straight W/L record? Or players in the NFL?
I mean dude Campbell is great and I’d have him as my HC tomorrow but that’s just drinking the koolaid aid super hard.
Matt Rhule seems like a lesser James Franklin, to me. According to the interwebs:
Matt Rhule has a record of 0-11 against AP Top 10 teams. His overall record against AP Top 25 teams is 2-22, which reflects a challenging performance against ranked opponents throughout his coaching career.

Ha. I just realized you’re not talking about Mike Riley.
I kinda forgot Lincoln Riley still existed. And I’m on the west coast.
College Sports just keeps on getting dumber and dumber. Penn State fires a coach for 3 loses in a row, even though they've been amongst the top of the Big 10 every year. The greed of people continues to get more and more, and it is ridiculous.
There were people in the Colorado game thread that wanted Matt Campbell fired. Some people are not rational.
Surprised that Fickel is still at Wisconsin after another embarrassment loss this weekend. That job will certainly be open at the end of the season.
That's why I dont look at game threads during the game
The funny is for the black uni comment. I even read all the way to the end.
Those are what I would expect from someone in Riley's position, if not slightly less. Let's not pretend these two coaches were working with the same talent and expectations. Which coach has the tougher job(s), c'mon now.
I don't view Riley as having delivered on his expectations, and I don't think OU did either, since he walked away from them and hasn't done much else since. Is USC happy with him right now? How many playoff wins does he have? NY6 Bowl wins?
The dumbest and most ridciculous things are the buyouts. In the Big 10 alone, the buyouts total more than $300 million. In the past 20 years, Nebraska has paid out more than $50 million in buyouts of coaches and athletic directors. What a waste of money.
