A.D. Pollard must keep CMC at all costs even if it means making him the highest-paid coach in college football! Why? Because if Campbell goes, Iowa State will NEVER be this good again! Nowhere will we ever find a coach who is this remarkably talented who wants to coach ISU. This is a Godsend to the Cyclone Nation. The Cyclones are 2 measly plays away from an 8-0 record in Campbell's second year. Why, even #1 Alabama has no top-5 wins yet like we do. A.D. Pollard: GIVE CMC $$$ TO STAY! I see playoffs next year. And ...he's here to stay.
MUST KEEP CAMPBELL
- Thread starter vcl3
- Start date
Raise, yes. For sure. But Iowa State doesn’t have the funds to make him the highest paid lol.
Part of changing the culture is no longer being worried about the coach leaving. The proper response is why would he leave when he can accomplish what he wants to here and has set the foundation to do so.
Ya know what this forum needs? Another thread about retaining our football coach.
Let's get real....Shouldn't we more worried about retaining our Cross Country coaches?
I agree with your point, although some of the details are off.
CMC’s value to ISU is higher than any other school is likely willing to play, but unfortunately state institutions are no longer able to spend State money on these types of investments. Is successful football worth another 3 or 4 million to the university, not to mention the area? Yes, but we won’t be able to pay that much.
But it’s not only about being the highest bidder to CMC, and paying the assistants a lot more would go just as far.
And although CMC represents a great chance of future success, if he leaves we can find another good coach.

McElwain has been fired from Florida after 2 1/2 years. Freddie is on thin ice with the Bulls.
CMC will get a nice raise. And has just received a $500k bonus. It should not be overlooked that building a foundation and a program from scratch is much more impressive. Matt Campbell could be our Bill Snyder. Don’t undersell the things Iowa State offers like stability and a passionate fan base like no other.
