    Cringe. Sounds like he’s going to take the kids out to dairy queen after their hard fought TUFF 38-35 loss to Tejas Tech.

    Aranda would be a slam dunk for Trooj

    If Fickell turns down USC, Aranda is their guy. Franklin probably calls Jen and says he'll take a discount if the rumors of him wanting out badly at PSU are true. I'm not sure how I feel about Franklin.

    Let's not pretend Campbell wouldn't be a high profile big dick hire here. We can poke holes in his resume but I would doog like hell if we hired him. Every vacant program has tried to poach this guy.

    edit: Ok that OP video was pretty damn weird and gives me PTSD from 2000s UW AD press conferences.

    Franklin is Pete. Adult in charge 9 or 10 wins most years. Hasn't got over the hump at Penn State and might not here. His best team was the Fiesta Bowl champs over Worshington

    Campbell is a above average but not porn star size dick hire. The whole does more with less thing does not always mean will do more with more. Often it doesn't

    Could be a reason he is happy at Iowa State where 6-4 is every goal he had for the squad

    Why don’t people like Campbell exactly?

    -Was youngest head coach in FBS when took over Toledo. Still only 41.
    -Dominated peers in the MAC and scored multiple OOC upsets.
    -First conference title game appearance in Iowa State history. They’ve never won Big 8/12.
    -First major bowl win in ISU history. Johnny Majors and Earle Bruce never won there.
    -Only took two years to turn around the program (remember Stoops year 2?)
    -Consistently in top third of conference since year 2 despite lack of resources or any history or tradition.
    -Coach of the year in his conference four out of nine years (awards are stupid but still)

    I think 99% of us would be thrilled with Campbell. He won at two garbage programs and is as close to a sure thing outside of Urban or Stoops levels that you can get.

    1. Stoops
    2a. Aranda
    2b. Campbell

    I do not think we have a realistic shot at Fickell.
