That's a bad job to take. Campbell needs to chill and his big payday will come. ISU is where coaching careers go to die.


eta: ESPECIALLY when the in-state rival is sitting at 12-0 right now.

Terrible decision by Campbell. Rhoads did a pretty good job manage a few bowls and a couple major upsets. That place ia brutal to try and compete. You are behind everyone in a round robin league but Kansas and have Iowa in state.

4-8 is pretty much the expectation for an average coach. A really good coach and it's maybe 6 or 7 wins.

Iowa usually takes 3 years off between good seasons so it's a good time if you're going to ISU.

This.

ISU is probably the second worst/toughest job in the Big 12. Hell, even Johnny Majors couldn't win there before taking the Pitt job.

I'm willing to bet that if Campbell would've waited a few days, he could've gotten a Big Ten job like Illinois.
