Rocco joining the Transfer Portal

Watch the last pod with Bruns and it's pretty obvious how hard they're trying to stay on Jamie's good side right now.
I thought Bruns kind of confirmed what Blum said without actually coming out and saying it. Didn't really say anything that suggested Pollard even attempted to keep him around

Chris just fell into how Campbell operates, you either show loyalty or you are out.

I knew two guys on the staff through my kids sports. They both openly talked about how Campbell had his “loyalty circle of people” and everyone else was expendable. Both openly talked about how Campbell valued loyalty over quality coaching and some staff exits were sacrificial lambs to cover up bad recruiting or coaching/player development from his inner group or himself. Said he treated boosters and media the same, those that 100% drank his kool aid got access and those that didn’t he couldn’t have cared less about. I saw that first hand out of Campbell at a donor event last summer.

The shine of Campbell went away for me once I knew how many former staff left to escape that culture or were essentially sacrificed to protect someone else. There are a couple very restrictive and financially large NDAs out there with former staff. And personally know of 1 staff exit that Campbells statement about why was a complete lie secured with donor hush money.

I’m sure this happens everywhere but in coaching circles Campbell has a reputation as a control freak with a very fragile ego.

Sounds like he will fit in well at Pedo State.
 
I think all of them leaving (coach or player) are in for a rude awakening of how unforgiving and harsh other fan bases can be…

Pedo state was more understanding with Franklin because they were on the verge (should’ve rightfully got it FTR) of the death penalty & just happy to have a program.

Unlike the rest of the world, pedo state fans have forgotten what garbage they are…

I haven’t.
 
Thanks Rocco.

When we offered you a Scholly way back when, I called you a poor man’s Brock Purdy.

I don’t think I was that far off.

Your coach forced your hand and I Understand that.

If you follow him, I will then be forced to root against you.

Otherwise, best of luck!

Unless there is a proven starter who wants to come to ISU.. This does free up a lot of salary cap space for other roster spots.

If we are going to hand it of 30+ times a game, let's go load up the trenches

In before 'there's no cap'.
