So he is Jim Walden and should take over at WazzouRaceBannon said:
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 WorshingtonGladstone said: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.
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 -
The close games vs FCS opponents, the regression this year. His offenses aren’t great. I like him. I think he’s an 8-4, 9-3 type coach. I think DeBoer has a higher ceiling, but that is based on nothing but a gut feeling.FremontTroll said: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) -

If PGOS doesn’t like Campbell … that makes me like him more

The more I read about Campbell, the more I like him. People say Cal is a tough place for Wilcox to win. By comparison, Campbell has the best record at Iowa State of any coach since World War I. After Stoops, he's my realistic #2 - as we probably aren't getting Fickel or Aranda.FremontTroll said:Why don’t people like Campbell exactly?

DeBoer is my guy. I understand how the three seeming favorites here, Stoops in particular, rate higher to most. I also have a feeling about DeBoer, have a lot of faith in coaches who dominate at whatever level they coach at, and am exceedingly impressed with what he does with offenses. UW is way overdue for a prolific offense. All the cool kids these days air it out.RoadDawg55 said:

Plus I want to be the program that snatches up a new guy before he blows up, -
Since its a crap shoot I'm not going to say it has to be one guy or else
There are strengths for each of the top 3 or 4 choices
Which is why Wilcox is going to hurt when he's hired -
Hiring Wilcox is a huge fuck you to the program and fans
Ive said it before and Ill say it again. Wilcox would do well at WSU -
