Ok so it’s been said already, but we are all big Freeman fans going forward at Notre Dame.

We all kind of knew Notre Dame was one of the jobs Matt would absolutely leave for. Well if the reports from Jeremy are true that he would have taken if offered, we now know for sure. Not saying that will always be the case because a few years from now he could be rolling so good here at ISU it may become a Kirk Ferentz thing where he doesn’t want to or need to leave.

Lmao, no. Incredibly poor rational on your part. Please do better

There is risk in every transition and hiring hit rates not 100%. I’m not proposing firing him.

But two coaches in nearly the last 30 years not working out, one of which had an okay first 4 years despite being an awful HC, does not suggest much. Nor does ANYTHING that happened 50 ******* years ago. The 90’s aren’t even relevant.

You said this conference. We’ve never played in the Big 12 3.0. We’ve never hired with this large of fanbase due to many reasons. We’ve never hired with this much ability to say it’s a low risk, high reward job (thank you Auburn). Every coach since Walden has had great offers to leave. So save your irrelevant history. The next coach will walk into the best ever situation, and the results of coaches hired in completely different eras and contexts means very little
You said Campbell is overvalued.

I'm contending what he's done here is unprecedented.

You're arguing history is irrelevant because ISU has unprecedented facilities, support and recognition, yet that's *not* to Campbell's credit because he's overvalued?

I think I've spent more time speculating on Campbell than Campbell has talking to other jobs....time to move on for now. Cyclones have so much to be excited about this year. Likely playing Clemson in Orlando....great opportunity for recruits to watch us have the opportunity to beat a big brand. And they probably won't even have the coach that makes them good.

And of course, Otzelbergerball...

I always thought Campbell would be the next Clemson head coach if Dani takes over at Alabama when Saban retires.
