They probably need 20 years of the type of seasoning we have had to reach our current level of expectations.

Fair.

This is a great start though, IMO.

Every hire gets 2 grades from me. How it looks when it happened and how it turned out. I'd give them a solid B+ here on the 1st which is way higher than it was looking

You’re more generous than me. More like a C or C- and I fully expect him to be fired in 3-4 years. JMO

Interesting development IMO. Where does that leave Jim Knowles?

The best thing Matt Campbell did was retaining Terry Smith.

Same.

Campbell is a decent coach who benefitted from garbage time in the Big12.

I can see him hovering around 60% winning percentage at PSU, which will get him fired.

Well that's a bummer...

I can’t ever remember a fired HC being kept on staff in another role.

Definitely not immediately, but Arnett is back at Moo State as the DC and wasn't fired as the HC that long ago
