Matt Campbell

Would you rather a coach who does not care about his players?

Campbell will get run out of town here by the rabid fan base if he pumps out 4-5 losses a season. That's what you want? All college coaches love their players that isn't a reason to hire a mediocre coach IMO.

Edit: a Good coach who gets mediocre results

quote:

He's winning at Iowa State, a place with no natural recruiting hotbed, mediocre facilities, and they're little brother to Iowa. Lincoln Riley took Bob Stoops program and kept it at the level Stoops left it and this board was wanting to fellate him. Campbell has actually built something out of little to nothing.

Napier was not just squeaking by but excelling at a place with in a fertile recruiting ground but no real recruiting inroads, zero facilities, zero history/tradition, zero money for asst or background staff salaries and little third cousin to LSU. Napier actually built a dominant winner out of zero. Napier doesn’t really move the needle as a splash hire, Campbell less so.

I watched 2 Iowa St games this year because I wanted to understand and they lost both. I get it lowly Iowa St but he had 20 returning starters and got crappy results. He is one game better than Ogre who had half his team quit on him by mid season

Napier was my first choice…of college coaches. I’m really happy we didn’t get Riley. I was cringing Saturday evening. Thanks to USC. Riley is a whiner and there is always plenty to whine about here.

Campbell is a good coach, he's playing 3 stars who need to be developed and has been doing pretty good with it. Given the type of players he could get at LSU he wouldn't be a bad choice.
Nobody saw the conference turning upside down with OSU and Baylor rising to the top. The media as usual predicted OU (for good reason with the talent on O) and Shorthorns to dominate and thought TCU would contend. Texas is loaded with 4 & 5 stars and did their usual nothing.
