This is what needs to happen, right now:
- Thread starter Efejle
- Start date
There are at least 5 or 10 better choices. The better coach even last Saturday was on the other sideline.
Matt Patricia?
D'Anton Lynn?
Circle back to Meyer?
Kliff Kingsbury or maybe Greg Roman?
I will say it feels like it's going to be someone who is still in the playoff. We shall see.
He'll likely share the reason for the timing of the announcement soon--things do change but wasn't this in response to Hartline would be after the playoff to which I was saying sooner?
It's really shocking how little his name gets mentioned here. He's a damn good coach. He wouldn't have been my #1 choice given all of the names that have seemingly had some interest, but Campbell definitely should have been on the list. I haven't seen anything that indicates Kraft even interviewed him. For someone that seemed to immediately rule out everyone that didn't have P4 head coaching experience, that baffles me.
He has had plenty of good opportunities to leave for, but has never really entertained those offers. Seems he really does love where he is.
For
For sure, but are you implying that we shouldn't have pursued him because of that? I'd argue Sitake's ties to BYU are likely stronger than perhaps any coach in the country, and that's the hill Kraft decided to die on, so that's hardly a reason to not talk to Campbell. I don't have great connections but have heard through the grapevine with some ISU people that PSU is one of the jobs Campbell might actually consider, along with OSU which he's unlikely to get with Freeman and now Hartline out there building resumes to get that one.
No just stating the obvious however I certainly wouldn't go all in on the guy like they did Sitake. You have to get that commitment in the form of a signature.
I think Cambell has been brutally honest with suiters by not dragging people along to get a nice new contract with the home university.
You do realize these talking heads need to fill hours of air time?
So they will start a new topic, whether true or not to fill that air time.
I'll say that the Rivals influx on the coaching search is quite remarkable. Back when they would give you a board name w/ a yahoo email account. One guy had like 27 of them I think (Tom would probably know).
I always wondered if it took an excel file to keep track of the U/P's for all those accounts.

I agree, but Pat Kraft and Terry need to have that trust ,tone down the elite and
championship in two years rhetoric,and agree there has been a lot of undercutting
sleazy tactics going behind the scenes. In fact both Pat and Terry know this.
The signing day was a dead duck anyway, retain your coaches who are true along with the
players.The power that is the portal is the new landscape of CFB, a good MAC or Sunbelt player in
most cases is further developed than 95% of recruits anyway.
I for one think most PS fans would understand the situation and accept the future.
