In the craziest CFB HC carousel in quite some time (possibly ever), with LSU, UF, USC, OU, now ND, etc. changing HCs, he allegedly turned down USC. He previously turned down NFL offers as well.

If he doesn't seek out the ND job, what's his gameplan?

Are the rumors true he's going to the Chicago Bears? If not, then how blue of blood is this guy requiring?

I could see him being a lifetime contract in Ames kind of guy like Kirk Ferentz.

Bizarre, but I could see it.

He came from Mount Union and the Kehres program.


Maybe he just wants to be a lifer where he is. I can respect that.

NFL or bust.

The Bears probably will hire him, face a fan revolt, and fire him within 2-3 years.

I think its either NFL or ISU lifer. He does seem to really like the developmental process and have 4-5 year guys you develop relationships with vs. the meat market major CFB has become. He may want no part of it.

I guess I got too much SEC in me. Just seems so weird to invest so much in a profession for that.

Especially with the Big12 imploding

It is possible that some guys are just happy where they are. Job Security without huge pressure like other schools have. Plus you make 4 Million a year. I could see being very happy in that situation. Low pressure with great pay to do what you love. Doesn't sound too bad to me.

I wonder how far $4,000,000 a year goes in Ames

Probably can live like a Saudi prince.

Money doesn't motivate him.

I could see the guy just staying at iowa state.

Has Campbell dumped his wife for a cheerleader yet? If not, he's not Hudspething.

supposedly he is just different. Huge family guy, likes the small town feel of ames and likes raising his family there. Likes not having to live in the office and getting to see his kids grow up all while still being extremely wealthy.

I respect the shite out of a family guy like that.
