An alliance of the Dakota schools is uniting in Ames, in some way this is a dream come true. (a dream I didnt know I had)
Assistant Coaches
- Thread starter CyBlitz
- Start date
As a UNI fan, hope they gut the Dakota schools to the bone!
Perhaps he wanted more salary, which ISU couldn't afford, so a lowered buyout was offered in lieu of a higher salary...
What leverage did JP have to demand anything? He already had a head coach at less than market.
Yup, asking for a lower buyout reinforces to JP that he’s preparing for his next job. Not ‘All in’.

I’m guessing the other option was not signing the contract. You do what you have to do
Just remember when people are trying to convince you that football donors were standing there with the open checkbook to keep MC from going to Penn State, the last time Campbell was working on an extension with ISU they must have been unable to find it on their desk and the buyout was reduced as a contract incentive.
I saw something that Kiffin's new buyout is $1.5M. If Campbell was going to jump jobs, a buyout wasn't going to prevent it.
And like others have pointed out, if Jamie demands a $4M buyout, then maybe Campbell asks for a salary commensurate for a top coach in Big12 vs. the $5M salary he had. Lance Leipold is making $6.65M and has been at KU a much shorter time than Campbell was at ISU.
There's give & take in every negotiation.
Great hire. Now need to put the full court press on Noah Pauley to stick around.
Starting to get excited with the coaches he is bringing in. Maybe it was time for a fresh ideas for a HC. Don’t get me wrong, Campbell brought ISU to a new level. But there were always things drove me nuts sometimes, especially very conservative play calling vs lessor opponents.
It’ll be fun to get a new style of play to watch. Will it be successful? I don’t know. But I’m looking forward to finding out

Great addition and Rogers is killing it so far.
Don't forget the next president of Iowa State!
I wouldn’t bet on it, he isn’t on the ISU coaches page anymore like the other Campbell assistants. Being removed means you are gone.
And, remember WSU is without an AD. Head coaches want to know who their boss will be…
I wouldn’t bet on Mouse getting any coaching role at ISU under a new head coach. It creates a really weird dynamic with players. Can lead to a “we/they” relationship.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Jake Menage as WR coach. Same spot he held at Wazzu and SDSU 2 years prior. Was OC at Northwestern College in Orange City in 2022 when they won the NAIA title. Former SDSU wide receiver himself.
Yeah, how many times have we had a lead in the 4th qtr with 8 minutes to go, and you’re like “a nice little 6-7 minute drive here would be awesome?” Nope, either score in 90 seconds or punt in 30.
...so was Campbell just incapable of hiring a competent S&C staff most of his tenure here, or what? Wasn't that guy the third one to come here under him?
