re: Footballscoop Podcast - Campbell likely the choice

Campbell is such a "blah" hire.

Agree not a hire with a bunch of flash or excitement! I think we all have our hopes on Riley or Aranda.
But if we miss it may be blah but it would really be solid and he would probably be really good.
Hope it’s Aranda or Riley

Campbell will fool you guys. He is a coach who will resonate with today’s athlete. He gets their attention by understanding their generation and is no-nonsense enough to not allow the players to take over the program.

At 41, he is the type coach that schools are seeking today.

The recruiting questions are overblown. Get him out of Iowa before judging his prowess. He has done well in Florida and will doubt keep several of the existing staff for recruiting purposes.

Think about it. He may be the blend we’ve been hoping to find. By the way, he is an innovative defensive coach and has been sought by other coaches to learn about how to stop the spread.

And, he has turned down NFL coaching offers.

I hope for Riley or Aranda but Campbell is hardly a settle-for candidate. I would not be disappointed. You shouldn’t be either.
