14 hours ago14 hr No. Matt Campbell is a pretty good hire. Yet somehow I don't believe Penn State and their fan base expected Campbell to be the homerun that replaces "Double at Best" James Franklin. Seems to me Penn State and its fans evaluated themselves as an Ohio State and Michigan caliber program. Not to mention better than "new money" Oregon. I thought firing Franklin was a horrible decision. Campbell is decent though, and if he learns to open his offense up, his Penn State teams could be scary. If not, it may be one knight replacing another on the Chessboard. Penn State thought they were going to easily acquire a deadly "queen" caliber coach. Like one of our favorite announcers fondly used to say "not so fast my friend".
12 hours ago12 hr No. I still think this is a reactionary hire by the AD. I mean he couldn't figure out to hire this guy even a week ago to salvage some of the class?Matt's good like the row the boat man at Minnesota. They will be competitive in the B1G, nothing more.
11 hours ago11 hr Moderator No. Campbell seems like a coach that's good at getting more out of less. That sounds great until you run into a team that gets more out of more. Currently The BIG has three teams that fit that role (tOSU Mich, OBD). There's also another coach (Cig) that is excelling at getting more from less right now. Has Campbell brought in top twenty classes before? How about top ten? Without them PSU is setting themselves up to be another Nebraska, Illinois fuskies or SUC that are all fighting to be that fifth best team while still remaining nationally irrelevant. Also putting yourself squarely in the middle of Lanning's cross hairs for no good reason wasn't a smart move.
1 hour ago1 hr No. Campbell has had some good seasons and some mediocre seasons. His head coaching record is more inconsistent than the guy Penn State just ran out of town. This year his team finished 8-4. That’s not bad but will probably put you on the bubble at Penn State. His 4-8 record in 2022 (his 7th season at ISU) will get you fired.I don’t see how this is an upgrade over James Franklin.Iowa State Cyclones (Big 12 Conference) (2016–present)2016Iowa State3–92–79th2017Iowa State8–55–4T–4thW Liberty2018Iowa State8–56–3T–3rdL Alamo2019Iowa State7–65–4T–3rdL Camping World2020Iowa State9–38–11stW Fiesta†992021Iowa State7–65–44thL Cheez-It2022Iowa State4–81–810th2023Iowa State7–66–3T–4thL Liberty2024Iowa State11–37–2T–1stW Pop-Tarts15152025Iowa State8–45–4T–7th Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by OregonDucks
