Confirmed.Hearing that Campbell is going to be meeting the players tomorrow.
He also has a press conference scheduled tomorrow.
Confirmed.
Given the 2 schools color schemes, he might not even need to change clothes (if there are no school insignias on his shirt)
Tucker re-signing with the Spartans sets the bar pretty high for USC, LSU and Florida. All will need to be willing to pay $10M over 6+ years to hire an established head coach like Matt Campbell.
I also think the job security of all those AD's will come into play. Matt (and any top coach) will favor a job where the AD that hires him will be around in 3-5 years.
Lastly, I don't know if LSU's litigation issues are entirely related to sexual harassment issues within the Athletic Department or NCAA sanction s might also be in play. I would think that could also scare off a big name coach.
If I were to rank the jobs- I would go USC, UF, LSU. IMO with the right coach, the Trojans could be a 12 team playoff program just about every year. Similar situation as Clemson and OU over last 5 years.
The elephant in the room for USC is Pac12 TV contract.
Have heard rumblings that Campbell is leaving ISU after this year and is interested in the UW and USC jobs. Hope it’s not the case, but I have noticed he’s seemed less passionate on the sidelines this year than in prior years
Lol. You’re an idiot.[QUOTE="Williowa, post: 8037950, member: 35830"Plus, everyone who's ever hired away an iowa state coach has lived to regret the decision and fired him after a few years.
Tim Floyd, Fred Hoiberg, Gene Chizik. Who am I forgetting?Lol. You’re an idiot.

So not recent history then. But I guess you're right, it's not 100% guaranteed to fail hiring an iowa state coach, just in the last 40 years.Johnny majors and Earle Bruce
I agree with all of this. Once the playoff expands the big 12 gets an auto bid so conference perception won’t matter. Right now ISU has the top recruiting class in the new big 12 and if that can continue you should be able to make the playoffs pretty frequently.Campbell has a better route to the playoff at ISU than at UF or LSU. Agree on USC, that’s a sleeping giant…if someone can get it turned around.
Amen, how many times have we heard the game is better when Texas, USC, and LSU are good? It's nauseating. That's all media hype. Of course, I'm looking through the fellow land grant lens.
