Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[eVOLve]

Look at us up in here. We all look like women trying to decide on supper.

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

Campbell would definitely be our big fish hire, but something about it makes me uneasy. Everyone will say this place recruits itself, but only an elite recruiter could put us in the same realm as Bama and UGA. He doesn’t even have connections in the south.

Also, 7-6 including a bowl game loss in his fourth year at ISU. If he went 7-5 in his fourth year here, everyone on this forum would be calling for his head.

 

[Vfl2407]

If it’s Campbell, there will be an Amen shouted somewhere by another VFL; former Iowa state coach.
One John Majors. RIP Johnny.

 

[RiotVol]

Putting Bruin on Ignore was the first person I did, and it made the board SO much more readable... that is, until everyone starts arguing with him and I have to figure out what all the angry posts are about .

Same.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Any of these yahoos that have to have Campbell's qualifications explained to them aren't worth a response. Hope if it's him, he brings his DC. I know that NFL coaches were going to ISU the last couple of years to study his version an odd front with 3 high safeties.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Except he’s wrong. They have only had 25. Facts don’t matter in a coaching search, apparently.

Bye

I coaching list you've made I actually agree with. Whoda thought.

Wrong. This says 32 and this was before Matt Campbell

List of Iowa State Cyclones head football coaches

Wikipedia also says 33

lol Neyland Rises just liked a post of mine from Thursday evening as well. What a journey to embark on.

Butch recruited here without any connections in the South.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Campbells record really 35-27
Or something like that?

 

[The Comb]

Bright days are ahead

 

[sona]

Eye 33 = Eye EE =
Riley???

What is the third letter of the alphabet? That's right, "C". So our clue is, C+C. A few simple deductions and you arrive at "CC". Coach. Campbell.

What about those 8 armchair coaches on their message board?

Jeremy Pruitt, Butch Jones, and DEREK DOOLEY were consistently bringing in Top 5 or Top 20 classes while losing tons of football games. Matt Campbell can recruit here. I am not worried about that at all.

 

[BruinVol]

Or you know, you could be smart and not try to hire the guy with two pending lawsuits against him and someone who had to testify in a criminal case because four of his players committed a gang rape.

Lawsuits happen all the time on this world. Hell Peyton Manning had one against him

Like I said that’s part of the vetting process and I agree with you needs to be looked at closely

 

[mr.checkerboards]

The emotions of that journey must be epic. Just wait until he gets to the Sonny Dykes part.

 

[VOLED]

Butch recruited here without any connections in the South.

Butch was a stud, though

 

[UpstateVol613]

“To be the best you have to beat the best.”

If you’re questioning why any coach would listen to Tennessee, just remember that quote. Every coach out there wants to be the one that pushes Saban off his throne.

We’re hiring Ric Flair?

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

Butch recruited here without any connections in the South.

He had some staff members with experience in the area. Matt Campbell is said to want to bring his entire staff with him.

 

[jordan4vols]

So if 40mil includes his 7 mil buyout then you’re at 5 years 33 mil or 6.6/year

 

[VolByLaw]

 

[Nashvegas31]

$7-$8 mil per year puts you in top 5. Of the list of people that would make sense to offer it too and that would actually make sense to consider it...

Gary Patterson
Pat Fitzgerald
Matt Campbell
Bob Stoops
Chris Peterson
James Franklin

Of that group I think Franklin you eliminate for likely not passing vetting/character and not one you offer a long guarantee too and I doubt Peyton would be influencing that as the hire.

So I think your whale that is the target is likely one of the first 5.

 

[gordonr24]

Someone posted a thread in the FF that’s been a member since 2011 and only 80 posts to his record that James Franklin is our next coach. Cited his daughter needing to be closer to a doctor in Nashville.

There are McDonald's on every other street in the south. He will recruit just fine here.
