I live in Marion and own a shirt that says “Marion, the best part of Cedar Rapids” lol but in all honesty I like CR a lot outside of being in Hawk country. A lot more ISU fans than I would’ve expected though.

I would love to hear the conversation when urban tells his wife that Nebraska called him and offered him a job. Wonder what her mind will assume with that statement.

Why would Urban call his wife to tell her that Campbell is taking the job?
Maybe the Nebraska fans ought to coach since they know everything! LOL
So CMC went through the entire lengthy interview process at several “who’s who” programs, got offered those jobs, turned them down only to do it all over again at another “who’s who” program then another and so on. But no one in the national media got a whiff of it? LOL.
It’s a really hard job now, honestly, it’s the worst job in the big ten now. Now they think urban Meyer is going to take it.
Every coach out there today goes through a third party, that represents the coach. Since CMC does not have an agent, it may be a lawyer or someone that CMC trusts. A school contacts that person to gauge the interest of a coach, if he says "No" then they move on, if he is interested, then they contact the AD at the school to begin formal negations.
Campbell is happy where we is at and can be picky about which school he will listen too. He is waiting for the perfect job to open up, and if it happens, he will leave, until then, he is content to stay at ISU and build the program. His attitude is like many successful coaches, he has a great gig, and he knows it.
I get all of this. He just said Campbell turned down offers at a list of “who’s who” places. I’d guess that it was opportunities to interview if anything.
He might take it "Les Miles at Kansas" style. Zero effort, cash the checks, get fired, laugh all the way to the bank.
I expect that he'll put in his notice at about 10 am on Saturday to make it to Lincoln for the 2:30 kickoff.
That has definitely changed. I lived in CR from 99-01 and there were very few clones back then. It made things better that Iowa was awful at football though.
