Mitch Sherman: Matt Campbell, King-slayer

[harimad]

Matt Campbell is the king-slaying, miracle-working toast of college football

More love from ESPN.

He's still a young coach. In fact, he's the fourth youngest in the FBS at age 37. And suddenly, Campbell is the hottest name in the profession. Just 20 games in at Iowa State, he's fending off speculation that he'll jump at the first lucrative offer to leave Ames.

A hint: Campbell won't.

I'm not putting much stock in some random comments-section statement, but this is the first I've heard this ever mentioned:

Chris Chapman ·
Xavier High School
Dave Jack It is false that he wants the Ohio State job. An ISU insider made it clear to my Father and myself that he doesn't even like Ohio State. Never know what the future brings, but I think that narrative is incorrect at this moment in time.

The 6-6 comment about "BS programs" is just another example of "always coaching". Even when Campbell is talking to the media, I think he believes he's talking to his team.

I like it too and the mindset, let's just hope ISU doesn't end up 6-6....kinda awkward.

Fake News, better headline: "Matt Campbell, King!"

If you would have asked me in August, 6 wins would have sounded great in year 2. I can all but guarantee meltdowns even if they end up with 7-8.

Here's my hot take: I'm predicting our final record is 14-1 and National Champs. Anything less, I'm having a meltdown.

Standard raised.

Asked Saturday if he felt the win over TCU proved that Iowa State belonged in the Big 12 title race, running back David Montgomery answered without a moment of thought.

"No," he said. "We've still got five games left."

So... 5th game is the Big 12 Championship game, right?

Your post is funnier without the explanation.
