is campbell just a money ball hire?

[IGoState]

you know the part at the beginning - good chin, nice shoulders, good looking girlfriend, etc...

I've seen too many of these outward appearing individuals that advertise the right stuff and are truly full of crap - I'm sure most have read the righteous quotes he post in his locker room, now he is playing us against Mizzo. What's that say about his true self and slogans?

I'd kill for a Harbaugh type guy that would be honest and tell you to go ****yourself, I'm doing it my way, we will win 7 or 8 games 3 years in a row and then I'm probably off to my next challenge.

Kind of what Holberg did but in more diplomatic way.

at the end of the day, I just hope for a coach that knows the victory formation and what down it is in the 4th quarter.

By asking him not to to discuss our offer to him with others, we were also playing him.

I still think if this doesn't work out, Bo Pelini would listen. The sad thing is that Jamie Pollard wouldn't give him an interview.

Jamie knows that, at some point, Bo would physically assault him.

+1

Meant to say: Hilarious but true.

maybe fleck would just hit jamie with a GA that would break out his DJ set up like that dtv commercial or fritz would hit 'em with some good country crap music on is guitar?

I don't want Campbell. The defenses he's been successful against, are a LOT different than those in the Big12.

As Erik pointed out he knows how to play the game. Question remains if JP wants to play.

Really? You want Bo Pelini? The guy is crazy, and an average coach. He wouldn't do a thing to improve ISU football.

]now he is playing us against Mizzo. What's that say about his true self and slogans?

Yeah... heavne forbid he tries to get as much money as possible by getting competing offers. I bet your'e the kind of guy who pays sticker price for cars... wouldn't want to get 2 dealers competing against eachother.

What a great recruiting strategy- if we win I'm leaving before you graduate or maybe even before you get to play. No one does that.

His MAC team beat Arkansas earlier this year. Sure Arkansas is run heavy, but he was able to develop 2/3 star talent to beat a solid SEC team. I am sure he will focus his recruiting to beat Big12 teams.

you miss the point

Is this the worst thread of the day? I honestly don't know, there is a lot of competition

That's not what 'Moneyball' means at all...

Was just going to post this. He means the coach is the opposite of a Moneyball hire. Assuming that there is such a thing as a Moneyball hire in college football given the small sample size of games.

What's his WARP?

Yeaaaaaaa math!

Its a good hire given the circumstances. Last year was the chance for a home run hire like Herman this year is the raid the MAC for the best coach available. Campbell is the guy who will win with the current players other guys might have sexier schemes but his seems suited to what he is inheriting. Getting him right away and avoiding the dating game aspect of the coaching search makes this a great hire. Dunno if hes a good enough recruiter to have huge success but I'll assume he'll grind out 6 wins next year and get some buzz going.
