In a scenario that CMC leaves, would Luke Fickell be a guy that would give us a chance. I am flabbergasted that he hasn’t been plucked from UC. Granted his life will be better in the Big 12

Would you all be open to CMC getting a 10 year deal?

Yes

Would you all be open to CMC getting a 10 year deal?

I would say yes based on the level of program he has built. Not a Paul Rhoads situation at all.

Would you all be open to CMC getting a 10 year deal?

Absolutely. The next 10 years are going to be crazy in college football. Having a top 10-15 coach will keep us on the right side of things.

Some of you guys need a serious recalibration of Iowa State's attractiveness. That's a step down for Fickell.

I don’t see it likely. Cincy is arguably in a better recruiting state. They’re elevating to a conference peer and possibly going to CFP this year. Probably similar to the Campbell to TCU “noise”

I honestly think we need to shave some costs/programs in the AD and give Matt a 10 year contract with the money similar to what you are seeing with Michigan State/Penn State.

I had coach PR in mind when I asked, you are likely right. 10 years is a long time, but definitely a better foundation to make that type of investment and commitment.

Would it be? I’m asking because I have no idea about their facilities or financial ability. Absolutely the recruiting is better there.

Would you all be open to CMC getting a 10 year deal?

100% yes, in fact, I wouldn't think twice.

Hard to picture Campbell in Baton Rouge.

Not worried.

Matt Campbell is going to LSU ....when I become President of the USA...
NEITHER ONE OF THOSE TWO THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN!!

GO CMC & GO CYCLONES!!

There's no way I'm calling you Mr. President.

Penn State is a great job, but USC is a job that you can win national championships at, better recruiting in S. California and no Ohio St. to contend with.

Its amazing the great jobs that are open right now, USC, Washington, LSU, Florida, all jobs that you can win at the highest level and most in great recruiting areas.

On the way home from work yesterday, they were listing the best jobs, and the guy, said LSU and its not even close. Every recruit in the state wants to play for them and they have won 2 national titles with below average head coaches. With their money, recruiting and facilities they should be fighting it out with Alabama for titles every year, the only thing holding them back is the head coach.

I don't see the allure of USC. It's in a city that doesn't really pay attention to it and has old facilities. Yeah it's a recruiting hotbed but most of those guys are going to Oregon and that isn't going to change anytime soon. USC is the Nebraska/Miami of the west - solid history but it's been left behind

Just here to point and laugh at an SEC blueblood? looking for coaches from the measly big12. How desperate to want coaches from such a second rate conference.

 

[NWICY]

I'm not being doom and gloom at all, but I've been hearing a lot of things from people that they will be surprised if Matt is still in Ames next year.

Taking bets on that?

Full contract buyout for PSU. That’s crazy. If he gets fired in 4 years, they’ll owe him $50 mil. Lol

Maybe if Cincy wasn’t making a move to the Big 12, but even then it would’ve been lateral move at best.
