Margins?

It’s coach speak guys, no one can afford to lose in “the margins”. It’s just BS to fill media questions without saying anything. Don’t spend any time getting worked up over coach speak.
It's really not that scary. I've enjoyed 3 straight winning seasons.
One thing CMC never talks about. Sometimes football games are decided by who wants it more. That passion seems to be missing from our offense and special teams.
I think what makes it really annoying is a lot of the time Campbell’s sound bites aren’t just coach speak. He constantly uses consultanty, corporate buzz words that you’d hear in any boring ass board room. Talk about winning in the margins, synergy, etc. It’s all crap you’d hear coming out of the mouth of any of the countless douchebag consultant wonks that I’m sure we’ve all had to suffer.
Here let me translate:
We got our ******* asses kicked today and I'm going to stand up here and smiley glad hand you before I go into the locker room and scream the paint off the walls.
It's really just like a corporate slogan. I'll compare it to Google's "dont be evil".
Sometimes they work well and sometimes you see the opposite effects.

The bottom line is that if CMC is this great CEO he's going to have to make some tough choices. The recruiting and time spent are there, but the strategy and offense XOs have not. Make the decision and changes to right the ship.
I agree if you aren't winning in your 5th year, don't expect to be around for many more years....It's not gonna happen...I would say in a coaches 5th year he should not be losing the home opener.....
We gotta win in the margins because with Manning, we'll never blow a team out.
If "winning in the margins" means not being outplayed at every single position group other than DL and having the other team coach circles around you, sign me up.
The only "margin" I saw in that game was an enormous margin in ability and preparedness between us and them.

Campbell is intentionally never going to say anything of substance to the press, other than those occasional off season interviews he does with Williams.
THIS is absolutely poor coaching. ISU players consistently race down the field, overrun the play, stick out an arm for a tackle, and then have no chance of catching up as the faster player runs to the end zone.
Me too but disorganized football is a little hard to watch and ISU's been there more often than not lately.
And CPR's teams played in a much tougher B12, when K-State, Baylor, Texas Tech and TCU were all Top 15 caliber teams...
I like Campbell, but I'm not sure the gap between what we see now and what we saw with CPR is as big as people may think. I think the level of competition has changed, though.
One of the margins is not allowing a punt return TD where the returner is untouched. Easier said than done.
It reminds me of some VC startup CEO trying to get a third round of funding when they have no positive financial data to back up their business model after 3 years.
