PSU Campbell Presser

[LeaningCy]

My Twitter is littered with Penn State fans right now for obvious reasons. They are definitely going to have themselves talked into essentially playoff or bust expectations by the time next season starts. They’ve decided that Matt was actually the best hire they could’ve possibly made. The bowl game today has them believing that momentum is strong and keeping Terry on will continue it. All this combined with one of the easiest schedules anyone could imagine and Matt’s margin for error in year one will be quite small.

The thought of Campbell meeting their high expectations without Heacock as DC would not give me a warm fuzzy.

Uh, I am going to take a wild guess that YANKEE STADIUM has some rather nice luxury boxes for big money Penn State donors to use.

Yeah the cold isn’t the issue. It’s the waste of time for a 6 win team with an interim head coach. That’s not what anyone with means is wasting time over the holiday on unless they are already in NY and don’t have other plans.

Don’t know how many were in the ‘with means’ category, but keep looking down your nose at all those Cyclones fans that cheered on a 6-6 Iowa St team that played Rutgers in the 2011 Pinstripe.

I mean you said wealthy donors which means people with options and also it’s PSU which has a bit of a different standard then 2011 ISU which was only going to its second bowl game of any type in 6 years.

All that being said I can’t prove my point and I’m being needlessly combative after an extremely frustrating shift last night so apologies and will just agree to disagree

He can probably go be the starter at KSU.

I guess I was responding to those that were saying Manske was also heading to Penn State.

 

[t-noah]

Might want to skip that and take an intro class to what a blue blood actually is because PSU isn’t one

Penn State Basketball pxp announcer, "No doubt about that!"

 

[t-noah]

I was responding to “standing there on the sidelines” which was in the same post. The ‘sidelines’ are today, in NYC. C’mon.

And in that same post “Yeah he's probably been doing plenty on campus” as in past tense, not today, which is what I was responding to in agreement.

Think we’re both in agreement just coming at it from different angles

You're both wrong. Who wouldn't want to take a walk in the snow at Central Park?

I’m guessing Matt won’t always be able to say…. “It’s really difficult to win at a place like Penn State”…. like he got away with here.

Yes, and also waiting till November to see what the team is all about.

 

[NWICY]

Yeah he's probably been doing plenty on campus and standing there on the sidelines ir wherever doesn't really do much.

Skipping was a bad look IMO. But who cares gets paid either way.

 

[NWICY]

It’s the pinstripe bowl for a 6 win team in a baseball stadium.

Dude come on now. Why in the world would anyone of real wealth/means go to that. As I said maybe if they were already in New York or planning a NY trip then I could see it but otherwise no way.

I'll differ with you on this, if your a deep pocket donor, get a suite make a weekend of it. Super fans travel. IMO.

It will be an interesting case study. Campbell made ISU very competitive consistently even when it became obvious that schools with the biggest budgets were going to have huge advantages. Will players that are ranked higher be as hungry as what Campbell worked with in Ames?

Hungry for the BIG BAG.

 

[MTCyclone43]

Campbell also famously hates the other stuff that comes with coaching (kissing up to boosters, stuff like that). He didn't have to do much of that here; I'm guessing that won't be the case at Penn State.

Matt went from being a Big Fish in a little pond to being a guppy in the ocean. He looked like a dork faking his first impression of Beaver Stadium.

This video ?

I have never viewed that video before. That is not a good look. I believe I can hear Matt Campbell say " you're on the hot seat b!tch!" As he turns and needs to be restrained by coaches and players. Really bad look Matty boy.

 

[MTCyclone43]

probably getting ready to interview for the Notre Dame job

I would love it if Matty boy pulled a classy move like that.

 

[MTCyclone43]

This is kinda an interesting take I’ve heard a couple times but by all accounts people liked Franklin, players loved him, he was a great recruiter, good with the alumni, it’s a part of the reason he lasted so long.

I always got the exact opposite vibe from CMC, seemed to be trying to hard to be Belichick with the non responses and bad press conferences

That is a different perspective. I have heard the opposite about Franklin. The administration loathed him and that the fans could not stand losing to top 10 teams all the time. I guess it depends on what group you know. I have in-laws that are graduates and legacy graduates of Pedo State and they are not happy with the Matty boy hire.

Here is my MC take at ISU. His tenure was great, best 10 year run we ever had, top 10 wins, Big 12 title appearances. I will never forget the game where we beat 4rth ranked TCU, I took my son to the game and it was a great experience for us, he wanted to run on the field so we did. His teams rarely got blown out, a rarity for most ISU coaches, and he kept us in a lot of games. He built a great culture here. Despite all of the great times, there is still a feeling of what could have been or what should have been. We should have beaten OU to win that Big 12 title, we had them. We should have beaten WSU in the Alamo Bowl, 7 false starts? How is that possible? The struggles against Iowa where we outplayed them but lost the game. The lining up in the shotgun on short yardage, the throwing it in front of the sticks on 3rd down. That 2021 season where they pissed all over themselves. It was indeed really good under Campbell, but it should have been better.

Again, everybody says it should have been better but nothing is ever perfect.

He was as good as it gets at Iowa State. Who knows, maybe Jimmy will exceed or match it. If we are honest, he probably won’t, but that doesn’t mean his tenure here would be unsuccessful. It’s tough here.

We need to be tuffer.

That video was something else. Campbell turning around and having to be restrained by players and coaches.

Looking back we were coming off a 4-8 season after a 7-6 season that was a disappointment, to being 1-2 in the non-conference after losing to Ohio that day. Hotseat guy probably had a right to his opinions that day

 

[MartyFine]

This notion was planted in the minds of the players by Matt Campbell

I think ISU was also something like 3-12 in its last 15 conference games as well.

The Big12 schedule softened drastically with the exit of OU and Texas.
