All FB coaching rumors and speculation

[AuH2O]

My three favorite coaches moving forward:
1. Campbell
2. Freeman
3. Day

If you are CMC though, is it wrong? Already have things moving in the right direction. Reasonable expectations, great place for a family, good enough salary. Can probably count on at least 10 years of steady and enjoyable employment.

Taking over a depleted OU program as it heads into a drastic transition with ridiculous levels of difficulty? At the place for football in a football crazy state? Where double digit wins is a floor for success? Intense media pressure and under the microscope constantly?

I'd stay at ISU.

If you don’t care about the difference in salary, and assume the playoffs have yet to expand, I agree. But most care about the money.

It is going to be just as hard for OU to reach the playoffs imo. They’ve never had to be a “do more, with less” program. They should make a great hire, but it’s not easier for OU to compete with Bama and Co than ISU to compete with Cincy, Houston, Ok St

Sometimes I feel like I was the only person that wasn't worried whatsoever.

The more stuff came out about Freeman, the less it seemed to be a problem.

 

[bawbie]

This is an awesome **** you to Kelly (and great for ND)

 

[bawbie]

The more stuff came out about Freeman, the less it seemed to be a problem.

Agreed. But he would have taken the ND job - which isn’t the case for most of the other openings he’s been rumored for.

Per reliable source, CMC is not going anywhere.

Unless Day goes to the Bears.

 

[Jer]

Unless Day goes to the Bears.

Good news is that Fickell will have opened up by then so tOSU could always go that route over CMC.

 

[ripvdub]

BUT, he would have said yes to ND if offered there.

uh doy

 

[FallOf81]

When the ND strength coach said yesterday he was staying .... that was that. Campbell isn't leaving without Andrews.

 

[Cyched]

Unless Day goes to the Bears.

That would be a fickell situation

 

[fsanford]

Unless Day goes to the Bears.

Then Fickell goes to OSU, this was actually the best outcome ISU probably could have had

Whatever the case, we can get a couple days of drama out of it.

There weren't many that's for sure.

 

[WhoISthis]

This is dumb, I'd say the last 4 (prior to CMC) didn't work out, 3 were fired 1 left, and probably was going to be fired in a couple of years.

You’re just disagreeing on Dan. Which is odd. You don’t have to retire at ISU to have worked out.

Although we did part ways 16 years ago, he had a stretch in which he won 7+ in five out of six years. He turned around the program and much of the current health of the AD overall owed to his tenure. I don’t even think he was that good of coach, and we had better options, but he worked out.

50% success in hires the last 3 decades. Rhoads, who I think failed and was a poor HC, still had some success. Chizik didn’t work, but hardly a cautionary tale.

 

[madguy30]

Agreed. But he would have taken the ND job - which isn’t the case for most of the other openings he’s been rumored for.

Yeah which makes sense. Hopefully Freeman has many, many years of success there.

 

[BigLame]

When will there be an 'all's clear' for the Wolf of Wallstreet gif post?

 

[Cyched]

Then Fickell goes to OSU, this was actually the best outcome ISU probably could have had

Freeman to ND, Fickell to OSU.

Campbell fumes about being passed over, takes it out on the rest of college football.

Awesome news... also, even though the national media won't give us any love, presuming things stay as currently construed by the time the new additions come in.....


Campbell, Fickell, Aranda, Gundy, Klieman, heck even Holgo, Leipold, Sitake at BYU.... that's a really impressive set of coaches.


Again, presuming they are all or mostly at their current schools at that time
