Regarding Chadwell, I can see why people are drawn to the offense, but that feels like Scott Frost hire 2.0.

 

[Cookiemonster]

Monken and Chadwell, but not Campbell. What. The. Actual. Fuck.

I don’t know man. Campbell just feels like a really low ceiling hire that further pushes us towards a forever middling big ten team.

Monken is imo high ceiling but also huge floor.

Chadwell I think is like Scott frost but without being an enourmous douche and would likely be smart enough to not bring his entire staff with him.

 

[NoHoHank]

I don't know. Campbell is only 42, so still young enough to embrace the changes coming. He built something out of nothing -- I'm not sure if the ceiling is his or Ames's.

The ceiling is Ames’s IMO. Had conversations with some guys on his staff the past couple seasons. From what I’ve been told, he likes it there but have been told his only gripe is Pollard not having bigger aspirations and Pollard being comfortable with where the program currently stands in the top half of the Big 12.

 

[Cookiemonster]

I get what you’re saying. You hire a Campbell, you get a dude that will win a number of games, but you’re not going to get the next Saban, Urban, Dabo, etc. If you take a chance on someone, you may end up getting the next all-time great, as remote of a possibility as that might be.

This is where I’m at. Probably over thinking it. But he should not be 1a. I’m fine if we try for kiffen, meyer, other top coaches with more money than they make now and then we fail.

Then sure go get Campbell. At least we tried to be great.

I don't know why there's even any talk of ceiling. He's 42. He's a year removed from the fiesta bowl. It's not like he's had a 5 year run of 7-5/8-4 seasons.

Let’s see how the season plays out for ISU.

Chadwell has 0 years of experience in major conference football. The learning curve is huge both on the field and in recruiting. I think you'd have to believe he is an Urban Meyer caliber offensive mind to go that route.

I'm going to hire him tomorrow. Tough titties.

 

[DrinkItIn]

I don't understand the disdain for Campbell. He is one year removed from the Fiesta Bowl. Sure last year wasn't at the same level, but he still went to a bowl game...in fact he has got ISU to 5 straight bowl games.

People love Aranda, but what if he goes .500 this year? Sure he went to the Sugar Bowl last year, but that was only his second as a HC ever. I like what we know about Campbell as a HC way more than what we know about Aranda as a HC.

I think both could be very good. I just do not understand those that turn their noses up at Campbell. I think NU. would be lucky to get either. NU has to start winning again first.

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

Would folks be opposed to going to a non traditional offense? Monken has been thrown around on here quite a few times.

I don't think Monkey would run the flexbone here. Just my personal opinion. He's a top notch coach IMO.

When Monken was mentioned to me I was told he would likely adjust his offense. I still imagine option will be a part of it, but not 100% flexbone.

I can't square Monken losing out to Leipold on the KU job with him being a serious candidate at Nebraska

I think Turd is going to swing at some bigger names.

The thing you have to wonder about Monken is does he have the connections to bring in recruiters to the staff and will he be willing to be all up in that NIL business

That answer is no

He sure sounds like a guy Turd might look at

How did Army go from 2-10 to 10-3 in a 2-year span? Jeff Monken explains

In eight seasons as a head coach, Jeff Monken has lived through two losing campaigns -- his first two years at Army. Upon taking over a program that had one

Recruiting is the total wildcard there.

I think Turd is going to swing at some bigger names.

It seem likely this is the case. If we strike out on some bigger names I'm sure he could make a compelling pitch to some very good coaches if the big fish don't bite, but what the hell do I know.

 

[Irv]

Monken is a truly terrible idea. Really hope it doesn't have legs.

Let him go to KU or KSU or Ga Tech -- some program like that. We can aim a lot higher.

 

[Poor_and_Stupid]

Let’s pretend for a second that Urban was actually interested. My biggest concern with him is that he wouldn’t have the enormous talent advantage that he’s accustomed to.

Realistically I don’t think he’d come here.

 

[CornFed Gregger]

If that’s the case, the issue is money. Cockeye State has enough to pay him & his staff but their wallets are limited on everything else, possibly dead last in the big 12. Plus with NIL, they’d be happy scrounging together 1 mil
