Zero reason it should of taken Penn St this long to hire Campbell.


Because their other 50 candidates said no. This was desperation

Agree but a good hire in the end. A better fit than the BYU coach imo

Damn PSU went from delivering water in the locker room to dropping an elbow from the top row but they still screwed themselves waiting so late when it comes to recruiting

I hear Monsanto is about step in and do whatever it takes to keep him in Ames.

This has more to do with MC's recent displeasure with ISU's NIL commitment. Made him more amenable to change.

This is more like a flying headbutt from the top rope that also knocked themselves out

I think this isn’t gonna work out. Campbell’s record is 72-55. That ain’t cutting it at PSU

That’s an excellent hire considering the optics of the last several weeks.

this...

they could have had him way earlier than now, though.. wonder how far down the list he actually was, and what took them so long to get to him?

At Iowa St. You don't think he has and can get better talent at Penn State?

Yes? But he’s going to be competing against much better talent as well

Is someone finally going to pull him out of Ames? . Guy has been rumored for every available job in the coaching market for 8 years.


I didn’t think it was possible but this one is getting somewhat scary.

Good hire, but they seemed to back their way into this hire. Lucky for them he was amenable to taking job.

Guess he doesn't mind being 15th on Penn State's list. I'm sure he's in for a big payday.

Not sure why any ISU fan would think that. He makes about half of what he is worth, has limited NIL and is still really young. ISU simply can’t afford him. Was only a matter of time before the right opportunity came along.
