Washington hires Jedd Fisch

[RagingCloner]

Wondering how much his comment after bowl game about the future of Iowa State football was handwriting on the wall.
"It's as bright as you want it to be".
Sounds a bit like ... hey, I've brought you this far, the future is up to you.
We will see.

Yes because he knew Saban was retiring and that DeBoer would be the successor at Alabama. Dude can’t call a pass play on first down, but can predict that far into the future? Gimme a break

Seattle and San Fran are the best food cities in the country if you have the $$$ to spend. Like any big city the annoying parts become a lot less annoying with wealth.

I love LA but it's more about the limitless outdoor rec activies within a 4 hour drive than food.

Seattle traffic is surprisingly bad and seems to funnel through just two major highways but last time I was there I got stuck on it for three hours because a truck carrying oxygen and propane exploded so I have a skewed perspective.

Well, there's only two N/S interstates between the sound and the mountains, and they go on either side of a couple big lakes that make it hard to go E/W. The geography forces everyone through a narrow corridor. And yeah it's still awful.

I don’t think Campbell is going to be a serious candidate for big time coaching jobs again until he has another 2020 kind of season. The kind of places that would want him right now aren’t the kind of places he would consider, IMO.

Campbell is still a serious candidate for many big time coaching jobs, even with whats happened the last 2-3 years, no matter what many on here want to believe. A coach who has finished 4th or better in the big 12, 75% of his time at Iowa State will still be getting looks by athletic directors across the country.

How do you think these “duds” would go over at the bigger schools? You think Washington and Alabama are going to accept losing to Memphis and Ohio? I think most Iowa State fans are past accepting these losses too.

I don't know why you got dumbed down for this. It's 100% accurate.

For what it's worth no one is talking about Campbell on Washington's 247 board. They have a premium article with 5 candidates and he's not one of them, and I don't think I've seen anyone even mention him as a possibility. Doesn't necessarily mean much, but they aren't talking about him at all, even to say there is no way they want him.

I have no idea how Washington would sell their fanbase that just played for a national title on a coach who has never won 10 games, doesn't recruit well, and just lost to G5 Memphis. I like Campbell but those are just facts that ADs and fanbases are going to look at.

The only people talking about MC being a possible replacement for other coaching jobs are other B12 schools. Let that sink in.

 

[ZmillaTLK]

I truly believe Campbell will not voluntarily leave Iowa State, How many times have we been through this already, and with how many he has possibly turned down. but also bosco is right the only ones saying and mentioning Campbell leaving are other BIG XII schools.

Des Moines has a homeless problem. Just part of urban life and has little to nothing to do with politics

I think any town of over 10-20,000 has a homeless problem. But they don't have a lot of services to help them both on a physical and mental level.

 

[NorthCyd]

I keep thinking if Pete Carroll was 5-10 years younger, I'd really target him.

If he was willing to do it I'd hire him. He looks like he could coach another 5 years at least and based on his comments it didn't seem like he really wanted to step down. That said I doubt he wants to go back to the college game.

Yeah you'd think if he still had a slight itch, he wouldn't even have to move.

My hometown of 2000 has homeless every now and then. Some are transients, but one was a local guy who lived with his parents and got into drugs and his parents finally got fed up with it and kicked him out. Lived in the woods on the edge of town for quite a while. Think he moved on to who knows where. These types of stories happen everywhere.

Now that DeBoer is going to Bama, the Washington job is open.

Campbell is the type of loyal dude to stay there and build the program back up with minimal needs and isn't asking for $10M a year so can pay coordinators and ride the ship while Washington waits to get their full share of B1G money.

Was fun while it lasted.

This is dumb

 

[2076]

Klieman ain’t leaving. I do t think CMC would either.

 

[JimmyChitwood]

Been there in the last 5 years?

I was there not to long ago. Besides the out of control homelessness and rampant junkies, it's a beautiful city.
They just need to clean it up

I've seen national reporters mention Campbell as a candidate. I have not seen other B12 "schools" or their media members mention it. I'm sure the other schools wouldn't mind our best coach in history leaving but I'm also pretty confident KSU and KU aren't worried about Campbell either. Hell, Leipold is punking Campbell on the field and off, taking ISU legacy recruits.

Like who?

And what is their source?

Campbell missed his best window to leave. If he was really interested in going he would have done it already. That said, his name will keep popping up in these reports as long as he keeps having some level of success at a place the national media considers a lesser school. Just lazy journalism, nothing more.

I agree. He was rejected by Notre Dame. He was rejected by Ohio State. He likes Ames. He's appreciated here. He doesn't seem like he needs to maximize his monetary value. I don't think he goes elsewhere unless he falls off a cliff and I don't see that happening.

I'd probably look at Jonathan Smith from Michigan State.

I'd probably look at Jonathan Smith from Michigan State.

Is that even plausible with him being at Michigan state for like a month? The ink isn’t even dry.

I legitimately think Matt could have had that Lions job if he wanted it. Agreed he missed his window if he really wanted to leave and I imagine he’s aware of that.
