I think this interview does deserve its own thread. Listen to it if you can.Long yes, but very interesting and informative. Also listening to two great educators and coaches is inspiring.
I may break it down into 2-3 parts though, haha.
Haha, if you have the time, yes. And I don't usually listen to Campbell interviews anymore.Is the whole thing better than the first few minutes?
Learned a couple of things. We are the GB Packers of college football, Heacock is in charge of the seniors, Earle Bruce told Ohio St players that they were not as tough as those he had in Ames, and CMC’s wife is Italian.Is the whole thing better than the first few minutes?
wasn't the story with Earle Bruce that he planned on staying at Iowa State, but our AD encouraged him to consider taking the OSU job? And then Donnie Duncan/Jim Criner proceeded to run the program into the ground.Learned a couple of things.

That was my take as well....i know back in the day it was easy to not like him just cause he was with the big school and all that, but seems to really be great and I want people like him (and CMC) helping shape what college football could/should look like with the new variables.Wow Tressel seems like a great guy. Doesn't care about the fame or glory, just loved teaching the game and mentoring his players and coaches. A guy that seems like he'd be happier coaching a small high school football team than he was coaching Ohio State. I see why he stayed at Youngstown for so long before he finally took his shot at the big time. Feel like college football was full of those guys 20 years ago, but they're hard to find now.
