He can be a worse recruiter. If he’s given a bigger NIL pool to draw from he’ll get better results.
New coach
- Thread starter NOYDB
- Start date
But I don’t know why anyone thinks we will get him, did everyone forget Kraft is still the guy doing the hiring?
If this is reality, Campbell is a home run hire. He might be plan Z, but he should have been in the plan A talk to begin with.
If Kraft can pull off a Campbell hire and somehow retain Terry, my only gripe at this point would be that it should have been done sooner.

Iowa St board believes the offer is for 11.5m.
They don’t think they can match any of this - salary, staff budget, NIL, etc. They’re in the hope that he just wants to stay.
If Campbell wants to try and compete at the highest level, then he’s going to take it. If he’s happy and comfortable with his current situation, then he’s a lifer at ISU.

If Kraft gets Campbell, I’ll eat a bowl of Brussels sprouts…I say this because I would rather eat my hat than Brussels sprouts.
Jimbo Fisher (Not a bad option)
You could really open up the wallet and land Jon Gruden.
Both guys can recruit, both guys know how to win in big games.
Either option is going to demand a bazillion dollars in the NIL account but more importantly they’re going to have total and complete say about anything related to football.

We’re getting down to Charles Huff levels if Campbell says no.
Well, here’s your sign from a quick Google search:
Yes, Iowa produces Brussels sprouts, with resources from Iowa State University Extensionand local farms highlighting successful cultivation, especially as a cool-season crop that thrives with proper planting in May for harvesting through fall and winter
Definitely like Campbell more than the guy from BYU
Do we have anyone associated with the university who is capable of doing it? I’m sure Cael is too busy.
Brussels sprouts- vile weed.
Couldn't agree more. Much better fit..... For both PSU and BYU.
False. I see many buttholes at most social functions I attend. I don’t see many Joebots, though. They’re going extinct, thankfully.
Of course … but that’s not saying much. My dog was a better fit as HC at PSU than Sitake.
Campbell can learn to recruit. Franklin can’t learn to coach.
Immense pressure (like that Kraft is experiencing) will cause even the biggest ego to reevaluate their decisions.
I've always wondered how much of Franklins success recruiting was his insistence he wanted to be first black HC to win a NC. I think that really appealed to many black athletes. Clearly he was also big on relationship building and pressing himself as open and honest. Does this make me a shiitty person to think this way?
What to Know About Penn State Coaching Candidate Matt Campbell
The Iowa State coach is the latest candidate to emerge in Penn State's eight-week search.
www.si.com
Interesting, according to SI, Campbell was on our radar since October…
“Campbell was part of Penn State's search initially, though it's unclear whether he had any personal conversations with athletic officials. Campbell reportedly now is talking with Athletic Director Pat Kraft and Penn State administration about the job, according to On3.”
He can surround himself with some good recruiters.
Not sure how open and honest he is? Perhaps to his players but wonder about to the PSU admin and even his assistant coaches.
Hmmm…think about what you wrote for a bit.
Hint: (what has Cael been able to do at PSU?)
I understand what you said and meant, but you also admitted there are no more candidates available who can recruit at Franklin’s level. Therefore, without Franklin (since he’s now longer with our program), the assumption is that PSU won’t be anywhere near a top-15 school in recruiting since no one else is available that can bring in those types of hauls. I don’t agree with that assessment because I think PSU can elevate a coach’s ability to recruit to some degree, but understand that is your argument. However, I completely share the concern that a drop off in recruiting is possible because of Franklin’s ability to connect with players and families, and if that occurs, then we will be searching for a new coach much sooner than we had to with Franklin’s tenure. I share some of your concerns but differ in degree of how well the PSU brand can attract players.
Bottom line is that we really do need a very good recruiter to stay relevant nationally.

Im with you. Id rather eat sautéed road gravel. With garlic and onion of course.
If so, it better be to tell him he is leaving. Iowa State can't match our offer. I hope he has already indicated to Kraft that he is coming.
