ESPN Blog about Campbell

[DSMCy]

Pretty good blog post about Campbell's first Fall Camp.
I've heard him talk about creating chaos during practice but it's cool to hear about the Spartan Drill and things the coaches do to see how players respond. Even having refs make a bad call.

I was about ready to post this. Cool article about some of the things Cambell is doing to change the culture. I liked the part of referees being one sided to add to the situation as well.

Maybe he's watched some game tape

Well, he has seen the Apology Wall, right?

Really cool article. Man, CMC really knows the right things to say, where he has me believing they can right this ship. I talked to him at an event during this seasons Tailgate Tour and just talking to him made me want to put on pads and go play some football.

I sure hope so...and I sure hope he had all his assistants down to the GA's take a picture of said wall and make it their phone/pc wallpaper with the words NOT ON MY WATCH. Something like that.

Me too, it's easy to let a bad call snowball. Especially when your coach is losing his **** about it.

Some of this stuff may or may not add up to more wins in 2016, but having a mentally strong team will make for a much more entertaining watching of Cyclone football. Last year, you could just feel the meltdowns coming, especially at Texas Tech and K State.

Apology wall?

This actually makes me a little nervous. Reminds me of my grad school days at Notre Dame with the third most losing coach in ND history, Gerry Faust. He could talk a big game and knock off #1 Pitt and then lose to someone mediocre. Hopefully Coach Campbell can sustain his intensity through the course of the season.

So...CPR?

Well yes, but was trying to avoid bringing up those old fights again. Hence Gerry Faust.

Campbell will have to pry my "Woe is me" attitude from my cold, dead hands.

He seems like a creative Coach which is a good thing. We aren't going to beat many teams in talent alone, so mental toughness is a good focus.

Strange I seem to remember a similar thing happening here against an unnamed #2 team in the country.... Also, don't you ever compare us to No Dignity again!

Somehow this feels like a post of the year candidate if we still did Clonies.

This is the most Iowa State thing I've ever seen. Kudos.

Gerry Faust was a high school coach who was totally unprepared for that job. I don't see much comparison here.
