SI reporting ISU working on deal with Campbell

[Dandy]

Don't worry. People here think that the Iowa State job is the most desirable open job in the country. Everyone is waiting on the Iowa State job to see if Jamie Pollard will call them.

In the end, most job searches are crap shoots. Honestly, if all of the candidates on our list, they are pretty similar. Will one be better over the other? It's sort of doubtful.

Just stop. The first paragraph here is terrible.

Wow just wow.

Going with the first guy you interview isn't the correct way to conduct an interview process.

Not always.

Do we know Campbell was the only person JP talked to? The overreaction to this potential hire is amazing.

I always say if you love them, don't let them walk out the door without getting a yes, if you just like them, interview more. Of course I haven't hit 100% on hires so nothing is for sure. Campbell's track record is impressive for an Iowa State hire, if the interview went great, I'm all for locking it up.

I checked comments on the Toledo Message Board at http://www.csnbbs.com/thread-760232.html

Most on the board would be sad to see Campbell leave. A few gave the usual ISU is a coaching graveyard chant. Some were encouraged that Toledo would try to retain their coach, but realistically did not believe Toledo could pay would ISU would pay. One poster voiced this concern: "Not sure how we can pay more for a coach since our attendance has been slowly going down and the University is losing students (who pay many of the bills for athletics). Plus, the school is millions short of a balanced budget."

What do you do if the interview went so well that you knew you wanted Campbell. And Campbell says he is willing to take the job right now and commit if Iowa State is willing to commit to him.

Do you tell him no? We want to interview all the other candidates. And Campbell then replies that if that is the case then he will continue with interviews and will go to Mizzou next week to interview.

Have you ever interviewed for a job ever?

Must read on our new Coach!

It wasn’t that people hadn’t noticed Campbell’s rapid rise from graduate assistant to offensive line coach at Bowling Green and ultimately to offensive coordinator at Toledo, but the logical next move was to Ohio State, where Urban Meyer had targeted him to run the offense alongside Tom Herman.

If the above is true......to quote the CBS Sports PxP guy...UNGHHHHHHH

 

[Die4Cy]

There's people on Tigerboard saying that Mizzou will announce the hiring of their DC as head coach on Monday. Lots of support for that idea there.

Might not be worth more than message board banter, but it's there.

What coaching tree does he come from?

Just saw Jeremy's post, please consider this deleted.

Have you ever interviewed for a job ever?

Yes and if the company really likes you they will call you back that day

 

[CycloneErik]

You're right...

Dreamy!

Here are more tweets from Nick Piotrowicz, a Toledo beat reporter:

Toledo confirms officially that "an offer is on the table" for a Matt Campbell contract extension.

Campbell and I spoke at length about ISU in Sept. He really respected Rhoads' work there. Not sure if that hurts or helps ISU's case.


Nick Piotrowicz ‏@NickPiotrowicz 2h2 hours ago
Iowa State is a damn hard job. Not that Campbell is afraid of that, but I'm not sure he's better off there.


Nick Piotrowicz ‏@NickPiotrowicz 2h2 hours ago
If Campbell is hired this year, his buyout is $200,000.


Nick Piotrowicz ‏@NickPiotrowicz 2h2 hours ago
Iowa State AD Jamie Pollard and Toledo AD Mike O'Brien are good friends. Interesting if Campbell picks there.

 

[aauummm]

What coaching tree does he come from?

If you're talking about Matt Campbell; Mount Union and Bowling Green. He was born to coach.

 

[Beyerball]

If JP offered $1.5 mil initially he deserves to lose him. That's an insult. I don't care if he makes $500k...its Toledo. $1.5 would be less than Prohm money...like I said that would be bad if true. If reports are true and JP canceled other interviews and Toledo and another school are offering more than JP is screwed...it's either lose major face and lose the guy everyone knew you wanted and have to stick your tail between your legs begging for other coaches to interview or open the checkbook big time.

Edit: again if any of this is true, which we will never know if Campbell is hired.

If a coach agrees to a deal in principle and then backs out, I don't want him anyway.

I guarantee interviews aren't cancelled unless he agreed.

It's Official now
