Why is Matt Campbell still at Iowa State? To reset, rebuild the Cyclones’ magical rise
- Thread starter CoachHines3
- Start date
Know for a fact that Iowa Stater's are working in the Artemis program, on to Mars!!
Edit: Also know that Iowa Stater's hold patents for anti-corrosion treatment for critical infrastructure materials like jet engines, boilers and other high temperature applications, maybe even bridges
How in the hell does our football team not win 100 games a year?!?
Look at this impressive list!
Think we need Engineering to invent a football that deflates when touched by a non-ISU player and Business College to market it to the NCAA!

Before cancer.
**** cancer.
I think that he's VERY selective on what other jobs he even considers. And even more selective on ones that he'd actually interview for. Do I think that he has had many jobs where there was a concrete offer that he turned down? No, it usually doesn't get to that point. I feel like he looks at each job when he's contacted and then most times, he passes. A few times, he's probably gotten more information and maybe a few times he actually interviewed. In those cases, either he decided against it for whatever reason or the other program/team had someone they liked better.
It's worked out well for us. I would have bet my mortgage that after 2017-2020, he would not be that ISU coach going into Year 8. Very, very few people would turn down that money and a chance to be able to stock your roster with 4 and 5 stars.
How can this happen?

OL recruiting, coaching, and development hasn't exactly been good at Iowa State. We'd have a hard time pitching anything but playing time unless/until progress shows on the development side of the equation.How can this happen?

I was told through a source that I know their source is a pretty high up staff member that Campbell told the staff “he had not been chosen for a job he would’ve left for”. Not saying you’re wrong at all, and maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle, but I’ve heard through a couple other sources that Campbell was ready to go to USC until they locked Riley up late in the process

Oh, and also because kids are free to go wherever the heck they want to,
That is some serious coach-speak. Did anyone respond, “Well, duh, coach, you’re still here.”
Probably because they got the interior OL they wanted. Limited scholarships this year and other priorities. Lots of reasons to speculate.
Ribsnwhiskey said we didn't get Rakers because we got Holt. Didn't realize you can't take another. Also I could be wrong but I'm not sure the Helton twins area done deal. Hope we get them.Because

According to 247 K State has 10 iol and we have 2.
Oh and yeah I realize any of them can go where they want.
If we only had 2 IOL on the team, it would be pretty hard to field a squad. Just looking at the roster, ISU has 7 scholarship IOLs plus Black and Buhr coming in next month. That's not counting OTs that could play inside.
ISU got their priority OG in Holt. IF they get the Helton twins, one is an OG and that would make two in the class. They have an OV set up for next month. I would argue that ISU has both Aisosa and Mandell higher on their board than Rakers just from reading the tea leaves. I think that the kid was smart to take that KSU offer because ISU was not pursuing him as hard as they are other guys.
Clone dude obviously needs a 2x4 up along side his head.
You wish violence and injury upon me? Nice of you. You must really be something.
Wait a second.... so CMC would have left if offered a job he actually wanted? Hmmm... that's what I've been saying all along. He's not some angel that is so dedicated to ISU that he's turned down all these jobs that he actually liked.
CMC is just like any other coach that would leave ISU in a second if offered something he wanted.
CMC is a good college football coach... and probably the best that ISU can hope for.... but he's not great IMO. I think we should hold on to him as long as we can because like I said, I'm not sure that we can attract anyone better. He's been able to upgrade our talent level here by quite a bit, but his teams here for the most part have under-performed IMO with the level of talent they've had. He's not had disciplined teams (always making the same stupid mistakes), he's not really developed players all that much (most have not improved while here, and some have even gotten worse), and he might be even more conservative than KF... which is saying something.
But with all that being said, I probably wouldn't trade him for any other ISU head coach we've ever had with the possible exception of McCarney. But that's also not saying much.... we haven't had many good head coaches here.
Reminds me of John Belushi in 1941.Because
