Heard a good podcast on Matt Campbells stock

This year has not turned out like most ISU fans thought it would. However, anyone who make a decision based off one years results is a fool.

Of Iowa States 3 losses this year Only last weeks was a “bad” loss and there were officiating irregularities that directly impacted the outcome. The other losses are at home to what turns out to be a very good Iowa team and on the road to Baylor.

This graduating class is a huge loss but it is also Campbell’s first real recruiting class and every year he has improved the quality of recruits. The drop off won’t be as bad as outsiders think.

Add to that Campbell wanting time be at ISU and not job hop and the thesis he waited too long to move falls apart. If you’re not moving there is no such thing as waiting too long.

Is he willing to play the recruiting game at an elite job? I just don’t see it.

Campbell had a high stock before last year and 8-4 at ISU will keep his stock super high.

He may not be turning down NFL jobs at that level, but he can pick his elite college at that level.

People just dont seem to understand what it is like to coach at Iowa State. It is in the middle of nowhere in an area that is a desert for football talent. Going 8-4 there with a big win or two is fantastic.
