Fascinating Campbell comment
- Thread starter LMTLION
- Start date
So you are admitting that you don't expect better results from Campbell? But Franklin was so inept and Campbell does so much more with less. Going 1-2 against 3 loss teams isn't excellence at the highest level.
Nor does it properly represent the "history of this program." Neither Michigan, USC or Washington project to be top 3 teams in the Big Ten. Of course those teams have typical conference schedules.
If talent acquisition doesn't improve the real pain will begin 2027-28.
How's that recruiting thing working out now? Ranked #8 in the conference (Rivals).

The standard is the standard.
He did mutter something about the best team winning on Saturdays. That's pretty profound.We’re already hating on Campbell. He hasn’t even done anything yet.
Oh, right. He hasn‘t done anything yet.
My favorite chapter in their bylaws is entitled "We deserve better. " How coaching has kept us from a national title for 40 years."
We had the leadership from Hell if we can even call that leadership. It was actually a hate filled powerplay.
Actually, HCJF made serious hay against teams like that.
Over the last 10 years HCJF won around 70% of his games against ranked - but outside of the top 10 - teams.
And actually had a well above 500 record (I think around 60%) against all ranked teams not in the top 5. (keep in mind, there are about 6-7 coaches in all of P4 with 500+ records vs ranked teams - so HCJF's record against such teams would have to be among the top few in the nation)
HCJF's hurdle wrt wins-and-losses (and what raised the ire against him among much of the fan base) was the inability to beat the teams in the top 5 (I don't recall the exact record vs "top 5" teams, but something like 1-12 or thereabouts).
The current schedule (and, IIRC, the 2027 schedule) would have been tailor made for HCJF.
Here are some choice quotes in this thread..
"The biggest strength of this team is its schedule"
This is kind of like getting a comment from your boss..."Your biggest strength is you usually have a smile on your face."
I don't even know what to say about that.
Then another beauty...
"It's easy to approach a season with confidence when you have 9 teams "without a pulse" and 3 teams you claim are big games but all could have 3 or more losses at season's end. I'll wait for history to repeat itself in 2027-28."
What??
So what if USC or Michigan has two losses and we handed them one of them? Is that not a big game because they have two losses? What if we beat Michigan but then Bryce Underwood gets hurt after our game and Michigan loses close games to Indiana, Oregon and OSU?? Is our Michigan game not a Big Win?? What if we beat Michigan but Bryce Underwood does not get hurt but they lose close games to Indiana, OSU and Oregon then our win is not a Big game win? But Michigan is still a top 15 team win because their close losses are to all playoff teams? I'm so confused!!
Is everyone following because there will be a quiz at the end of the season after we moved the proverbial goal posts 20 times during the season as to not give Campbell any credit for anything.
So there is a possibility we could go 12-0 but have no Big wins??? Inquiring minds want to know?? That means we don't have to give Campbell any credit and can say BGJ would have done just as well.
Everyone beware that this could happen and if it does everyone should know we have 0 Big wins and Campbell gets zero credit because he won all easy games. Let's set the record now. You can't treat my hero, BGJ, like that and get away with it!!
I wonder if this same poster gladly counted our wins vs SMU or Boise State as a Big wins?? USC in 2024 on the road could not possibly be a big win then...oh wait maybe it was??
What history repeats itself in 2027-28? The history in 2026? And is it bad history, good history, luck history? What is it? Not winning any Big games history? Getting lucky and winning one Big game but we got lucky so we don't count it as a Big game history?
The season cannot start soon enough so we can begin the fire Campbell campaign.
