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

Majority of them signed to VaTech already. They are going to need to hit the portal hard

That's actually a great hire. His name has been in the carousel the last few years, but he always stayed. I thought for sure he was an Iowa State lifer.

Looks like they gave up on trying to hire a Jimmy Sexton guy. Campbell represented by WME Sports.

"agreeing to terms and finalizing compensation" sounds like some major steps that haven't happened yet.

They must have had to give him a large bag to get him to jump into this dumpster fire of a coaching search and recruiting class.

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

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.

Exactly. I don’t see why everyone thinks this is some home run hire. Dude has interview for every big coaching job the last 6 years and has never gotten any of them

This was desperation by Penn State and he was probably their 20th choice

Know your worth Matt

If he's doing this for like 8m then it's an absolute travesty. PSU should be over the barrel at this point.
