Paying Hoiberg more wouldn't have kept him here. He always wanted to coach in the NBA.
For now I just hope JP supports CMC.
The sad reality is that there are many programs who can pay way more than we can.
So JP needs to offer support however he can.
I sure don't want to lose CMC but if he keeps this up others will be coming at him. That's a good thing so long as we give him the support we can.
The real question I have is: what does CMC want? He talks often about how much he want to be right here. But what are his goals next? Stay at ISU and see how far he can build the program? Jump to a bigger name school? Chase the big money?

Jamie is going to do the best he can but it may be a similar situation to CFH where no money would have kept him. For now, enjoy the ride and hope for the best at the end of the season.
JP is not well known for being cheap. That's just a stupid statement.
Yep there are two scenarios here. Jamie does what it takes to keep Campbell, or no matter what Campbell is gone.
There's no way JP will let Campbell walk by not doing something that could have kept him. I'm glad we have Pollard at the helm right now, I'd be less confident about that 3rd option not occurring if Pollard left for Nebraska already or something and we had no one at the helm.
He deserves to be paid somewhere in the middle of the pack of the big12 but let’s not get carried away.
We’re about a 8 weeks from posters saying he should be fired if we lost to UNI again.

Meh Jamie ponies up when he needs to. If Campbell and Co. want to stay they'll figure out a way to make it work. But yeah Heacock seems sound on defensive strategy.
I supported that at the time. But this feels different. The guy is just rock solid. I can't believe the number of times we've shot our selves in the foot in the past with dumb penalties giving away games and points leading to nut cup situations. This guy has this team making almost no stupid mistakes. One of the best ways to win is to not lose.
So what is the "true cost" of letting him get away though? Without winning football, JP can't invest in MBB, or Wrestling, or any of the things he wants to do.
Everyone has always said what a gold mine ISU would be if we could actually ever win football games. Our fans are amazing, and we're already the preferred state university for instate high school graduates too.
If we're a consistent top 25 team, the money would be rolling in with what JP could charge for tickets, parking passes, etc, etc.
So, IMO, sometimes the question isn't "can we afford him".... it's "can we afford to lose him"?

JP can only do so much. You fans that blame him for the Mayor or Cale leaving ISU have no clue how much money these other programs or the NBA throw at these guys.
Part of it is how much Campbell want to build something instead of how much he want to get that next big job. He loves Ohio and the next step up has a great coach in place there. The real question is will Campbell be willing to go to a train wreck name program or wait for tOSU to open up. I could see Neb. going hard after him at the end of the year. Not sure Campbell would want to go to a program with that little patients.

It would be sad if we do not give Campbell a raise and contraction extension but we gave Rhoads one. That would be so Iowa State.
All Kirk is doing is looking at a coach that is winning at a place that doesn't have much success. He has no actual info that he's gone. Just throwing **** against the wall.
why on earth does this website always reload page 1000x when trying to write a post? So frustrating.
Season ticket prices will be going up. If I remember right he has big incentive pay for bowls so keeping him won't be the hardest thing. Keeping the rest of the staff will be tough though. Hopefully there character and staying put is what they want
