As a non psu person I’m going to enjoy psu painting this as “exactly” who they wanted all along! 😆…because you know”it’s a process!” Copium is a hell of a drug…just ask any antifa-loving leftist

I wanted to isolate this statement so it doesn't get lost. This is beyond effed.

You won't have any SUCCESS WITH what you're doing. There is absolutely no HONOR in what you're doing.
Yeah, that's messed up. Ironically, I think Paterno would have adamantly disagreed with his opinion.

All due respect - as a non-PSU person, kindly STFU. You know just by reading this board that most/none of us had this train ride in mind. He’s a really good coach and I’m just happy to see what he can do for our program. The added bonus is we no longer have BGJ as our problem.

So just out of curiosity, say the guy just signs his best recruiting class two days ago, and then bolts for Penn State. Are those 20 kids free to bolt when the portal opens or are they just screwed for a year? I see there is a 15 day coaching change window also.

The irony being that many folks suggested Campbell early on as a good option...

To be fair to Kraft - are we allowed to do that? - I think the reports are they they spoke early in the process and it sounds like Campbell either shut it down completely or requested to not talk more until after the season ended. So it's possible that he wasn't a real option or open to the position until just recently.

Pretty sure they can be released without penalty after a coaching change, similar to current players.

This site says it’s done
He would have been my first choice about 10 years ago. Wasn't my first choice at this time, but I'm cool with it (and a much better fit than Sitake). Considering the mess we've been through, I would be very happy if this is true. If so, welcome Matt Campbell. I wish you all the luck in the world.

If he doesn't coach in Iowa State's bowl game, I don't want him.
Normally I would agree, but at this point he has a **** pile of work to do to get caught up. Hell, his task of sorting out our roster will keep him busy for a while. Then he has the portal and anybody who can be signed or flipped during the portal period. Not to mention gathering a staff, finding a home, etc... Im hoping he flew back with Kraft to get started.

I'm hoping he left Kraft in Iowa
