Welcome to The Platinum Board. We are a Nebraska Husker news source and fan community.
I’m not so sure about that. They’ve already decided that semifinals of the CFP is not good enough. He’s going to have turn around things very quickly and maintain a super high level of success. Maybe he can do it, but he’s going to have an extremely short runway with no margin for error. He’s done a pretty good job at ISU, but making a true NC contender is a different ball game.
They become horribly misses because they are going to Penn State. I don't make the rules
This coaching search has reset their expectations. Getting back to the playoff is the new goal there. If they had hired Campbell on day one of the hiring cycle might be a different story
What are we talking about here? There isn't a candidate that they have looked at during the entire process that was a better coach that BGJ.
With millions...what's the point?
I would be surprised if he took it. I think he's going to be loved forever in Ames and he's had a chance to take better gigs
well past that reasoning
Your assumption that PSU fans are going to view this rationally is faulty IMO. The damage has been done and anyone they pick now is going to have major stink on them. Whoever the coach is now is going to be completely set up to fail, no matter what.
Penn St. is weird. A lot like Cockeye St. I think that could be a draw for him.
Campbell has had so many shots at leaving and he doesnt. It is well known he actually loves living in Ames. I know the team doctor really well (I live just south of Ames, my neighbor is a ISU booster). I think he retires and has a statue built eventually. He has done better than any coach ever at ISU and it isnt even remotely close. He won't ever get fired if he just is average and goes to bowls more years than not.
I’m behind. Who is BGJ
Big Gay James? Idk
Big Girthy Johnson, aka Matt Campbell
You guys love telling on yourselves
Rhule is by far better than Campbell in my opinion. Campbell hasn’t done shit at cockey state and he’s been there how long?
They're talking themselves into hiring the interim. I think its safe to say they just want stability at this point
I think the resources narrative is generally valid, but gets a bad rap here because it was the talking point for Riley, when he was already well on the downside of his career. He'd been at or below .500 4 of the previous 5 seasons before coming here.
