Penn State or Matt Campbell?

Matt looks like he’s realized he bit off more than he can chew. He was a good coach for Iowa State and could have had a statue built for him there. Like Mike Riley leaving Oregon State, or Mullen leaving Miss State, sometimes the grass isn’t greener at a more high profile job.

They worshipped the ground he walked on at ISU. I guess he had issues with the AD and resources towards the football program. Iowa State Athletics is struggling for funding. I can see why he would want to go where he has more resources.

The guy is a good coach. He'll get things going there, but I think his ceiling is lower than the expectations at PSU.

in my defense it’s been nearly a decade since he got fired from Nebraska

I do remember when he was rumored to be a candidate for usc though

They better buckle up. Say what you want about Lincoln Riley and USC but they can also run the ball.

Giving up 420+ on the ground is alarming.

Magic Johnson leaving Washington St. is another one.

Who would have thought that importing a .500 Big 12 roster to the Big 10 wouldn't work...

Mark Price leaving Wazzu for Bama was a huge mistake

I’ll suggest that it might be a bit early to judge.

I just don't think Campbell can be what Penn State wants him to be. He isn't the next big thing.

Way too early to tell.

it totally is

But it’s fun to shoot extremely hot takes too soon and either laugh at myself when I’m wrong or gloat when I’m right.
