You have to give the ISU AD a lot of credit here. That was fast and decisive and seems to be about the best they could have hoped for.

Off the top of my head (confirmed discussions per Matt Campbell and various sources): NFL: Chicago Bear Detroit Lions College: UCLA Arkansas Kansas State Ohio State Washington North Carolina West Virginia Purdue UCF A&M There are more but that’s just what I recall over the last 3-4 or so years.


Don’t believe everything you hear. I doubt many of those were very serious at all.

Plus not many of those would be considered a step up from ISU at least not enough to leave a comfortable gig for.
quote:

Because for 10 years he has said so while turning down probably 10-15 other college jobs and at least two NFL jobs.


Zero chance he has turned this many jobs down that would be considered a step up from ISU. That is laughable.
quote:

I didn’t think it was possible but this one is getting somewhat scary.


Not sure why any ISU fan would think that. He makes about half of what he is worth, has limited NIL and is still really young. ISU simply can’t afford him. Was only a matter of time before the right opportunity came along.

Underwhelming


I actually think PSU lucked out by getting him. He is a great coach and has high character. I think he is the perfect fit for PSU and they will realize in a few years they were lucky to strike out on higher profile names.

Better than the Detroit Lions? Better than Ohio State? Lions offered and OSU made “strong inquiries”.


Better than Detroit because of the guaranteed money aspect. I don’t think OSU would ever seriously hire Campbell. Their fans would revolt. Not saying they would be right, but Campbell would never excite a fanbase like OSU.

I can’t imagine Campbell telling multiple schools no this cycle and then going to Pedo U the day after national signing day. Just doesn’t seem like him.


He’s a Midwest guy and this is probably the best Midwest job he could ever hope to land. He grew up a few hours from state college.

Would probably almost double his pay, have a much larger NIL fund, access to a more fertile recruiting ground and the disparity in media revenue between schools in the big ten and big 12 is huge now. Like an $80 million dollar difference in tv between the schools.

Probably because they use AI to write his songs.
quote:

All the idiots on FB bitching that Lane and LSU could have waited until after the playoffs to announce he was taking the job. Penn State is the perfect example for exactly why LSU couldn't afford to just wait and go through signing day without having their head coach position filled.


LSU would have been perfectly fine if they waited and PSU will be fine for taking a long time to fill the position. Too much money and talent at both programs to fail too bad and neither rebuild would ever take long.

Olive oil aerosol spray that you find in beauty products section of a grocery store works great on gnats.

What?? That is ridiculous. His songwriting and vocal talent was unsurpassed during his prime.

To me kiffin is such an embarrassment. Dude is at the pinnacle of a career with a team fighting for a title and he is making it a circus for attention.


Imagine if a player sat out of the playoffs and “quit on his team”. The fact that a coach can do it and get rewarded is troubling.

Frankie should've never had that wedge in his hand at the end


Couldn’t believe he chose to hit a pitch/chip shot there with what was on the line, his huge divot on his practice swing and his past history. Zero chance he could hit that shot. Putter all day there in that situation.

Which leads to more inflation. The American people like their government, spend way over their means.

he will screw it up somehow. I dont love him, but i respect what he has built. I think if he screws it up and there is blowback he will learn from it and not make the same mistake next year. And there will 100% be a next year.


This has to be back next year. By far the most entertaining YouTube golf content I’ve ever seen. I haven’t skipped a thing in all three episodes and can’t wait for the rest of them.

LIV players should demand 25% more in pay for sure. They signed up for 54 holes and were promised less golf.

Pretty sure that Pride said LIV would never get OWGR points with their current format. Guess he was right all along.

I thought LIV was changing the game? Seems like they know the only way to getting OWGR points is with 72 hole cut events. Just like the PGA.
