Guess Who Made The List Of Candidates At MSU
- Thread starter nfrine
- Start date
We do need a jump start on getting K-State back to their rightful place at the bottom. It will take a coordinated effort.
If you call buying low for Auburn to take Chizik, you have to develop a new term for MSU taking Fitzgerald.
Also, been to a game there…and the atmosphere isn’t bad (though the fact they were playing Wisconsin probably helped), but our atmosphere is for certain better. I think an unbiased person would say Iowa State is a better job (except for the money).Yeah, Michigan State really has that pristine culture that will lure Matt Campbell away
Auburn would never hire Chizik......wait a minute...Wut?????

Who are your top 3? We are waiting for you to put it out there since you are the CF sparty guy. Can preface it as your own personal top 3 or you can speak for the fan base.
Heartline, Elko, Sherrone Moore in that order
Elko is the only one of those that’s realistic. If we didn’t grab him I would try possibly one of the left over pac teams. Realistically the picking is kind of thin due to realignment.
Matt Campbell is well aware that the B1G is where coaches go to get paid....and then get fired a few years later.
The B1G's wealth comes with very short leashes. It's win today or be unemployed tomorrow. The growth and development of young men is at the bottom of their list of priorities, if it's there at all.
Matt is not going to MSU.

You have to factor in CMC's family situation here. Say what you will about him as a coach, but his wife and kids' happines does appear to mean more to him than most coaches.
I'd think it might be more realistic to make a move once his older kids graduate and maybe the young boy(s) might want to play big time HS football beyond Gilbert etc. Don't remember off the top of my head their ages etc.

He does seem to have a wife that’s happy here. I would guess his daughters are in high school by now.
Well “MSU isn’t close to a top 5 job in the Big 10” does them no good if they finish 5/6 in a 3 bid league. Exact same thing and honestly tougher as there are 6 teams automatically better than Sparty in the new Big 10

Oregon, Washington, USC, Michigan, tOSU are the top 5 (not listed in order), and then it's easy to make arguments for several others (MSU, Wisconsin, Iowa).
EDIT: Forgot Penn State - they are in the Top 6. Then it's a fairly decent drop off to #7. I'd probably put Wisconsin in 7th and then MSU and Iowa would be a tossup.

Maybe Friendly can answer this, but has the AD purged everyone from the Nasser days? I guess really all admin? If there's anyone there in administration that was also in administration during the long list of scandals, I wouldn't go anywhere near the place. From the outside, there are few places that seem as rotten as east lansing.
I'd argue that Penn State is clearly in the top 6. Wisconsin solidly #7. After that it gets a lot more murky.
We probably only see the lists with Campbell given it's our school, but why don't we see Kleiman's name on these lists? He legit came in and has done great things at KSU.
Is there an assumption "in the coaching circles" that Matt would listen to anyone (thus they put him on lists) and someone like Kleiman won't? OR is it knowing our fans will click so it's easy clickbait? LOL
Kleiman's name as well as the Kansas coach were on lists for the job, Kleiman has already stated publicly he is not interested in the MSU job.
Exactly - and how often over the last several years have we ever heard a definitive statement like this from Matt that quickly?
