Interesting, Blum may want to know that Campbell’s considers he did nothing for him.
PSU Campbell Presser
- Thread starter marothisu

I really think the family piece of this is a big - maybe the biggest - deal. Big part of why those 4 jobs close to his home were the worrisome ones.
I just got that tiki torch sold on EBay. Guess I gotta buy another.
I'm just glad that now he's on we can all have the freedom to talk about how freakin' annoying the way he talks is. It's bugged me for years but now we can just openly mock it. He's a walking, talking Hobby Lobby sign.
I will always like Matt Campbell. Flame away.
Only if you want to take it as a negative on Jamie.
Listen to the 4:30 mark where CMC chokes up and talks about Jamie who took a risk on a young coach and having the opportunity to build a program in Ames.
Being AD at Iowa State and being AD at PSU are two different jobs from a financial support standpoint. So yes, what Pat Craft has to offer is much more than Jamie can offer. And not only because House/NIL is in it's early years.
And Jamie shouldn't and can't apologize for the hand he's been dealt at ISU. In fact, I've always had the impression Jamie has embraced the unique challenges that exist being ISU's AD from a financial perspective.
That suit looks like something a pallbearer would wear.
When I think of the financial support piece, I often think that this move allows him to compensate his loyal assistants more. He did so at ISU, taking a "pay cut" or hometown discount to ensure that he had more money to allocate to assistant coaches. I think he's truly looking out for them as much as he is for himself!

More times than Campbell had before his plane landed a few days ago.
Wow, sounds like his 45 minute conversation with Cael Sanderson sealed the deal for him. he certainly praised him in his introduction to PSU.
I’m not sure if I need a two-pronged pitchfork for Pollard and Blum, or a third prong for Erica Campbell. Maybe big boy just wanted to go there for himself.
And every school followed that to the letter of the law. Nothing is more ironclad than NCAA rules.
Just driving home the NC expectation. It will be daily pressure that will remind him he’s a failure in Ped St’s eyes if he doesn’t achieve it.
Matt publicly thanked Blum and Krystal already.
Penn State Alum?
Saquon Barkley?
Micah Parsons?
Jack Ham?
Jennifer Anniston's dad?
He was overselling himself, almost as if he were being interviewed by everyone in the room or defending his hiring. Perhaps the adrenaline was pumping, and he was all hyped up on PSU Koolaide. He definitely mentioned that moving back 2.5 hours from home was a significant deal. Still, he also conveyed that his dad loved PSU and PSU was a dream job for him—taking over Joe Paterno's legacy and rebuilding after what Franklin left behind. I didn't realize he knew Terry Smith, so retaining him seemed like an easy choice. This will probably be the first and last press conference I listen to, unless the Cyclones are playing against them.
He expressed that he wanted the challenge of coaching at the best university. Gonna recruit and turn out high ethical great players, as we've heard here, and he certainly has. Now he has that challenge. If he doesn’t achieve great things—by the university's standards—in three years, I say, his next big challenge will be finding a new job or deciding which beach to live on with his bags of cash.
These universities NEVER learn from these crazy contracts!!!! They should put requirement language in there. I forgot what term my wife said, but she rattled on about how these contracts should be written. She lost me at the first long legal word. LOL.
