Campbell? Meh
Campbell clearly didn't have his guys ready to handle expectations this year. No thanks.

Meh, 4 out of his 5 losses have been by 7 points or less and 4 of his 5 losses were on the road. He'll probably beat TCU at home and then win his bowl game to finish 8-5.
He's 30-23 in conference (he was 24-8 in conference at Toledo).
He also has a top 25 recruiting class coming in.
Let's not make the perfect the enemy of the good enough. -
So he can't win close games with a seasoned team? Even better.HFNY said:Meh, 4 out of his 5 losses have been by 7 points or less and 4 of his 5 losses were on the road. He'll probably beat TCU at home and then win his bowl game to finish 8-5.

I don't think we get him but Campbell would be a big dick hire who (1) has been coveted by nearly vacant every program under the sun, and (2) leveled up two separate historically garbage programs. This isn't exactly Ty going 44-36 at Stanford. I would doog like hell for him.
That being said, 0-6 vs rival Iowa is terrible. As is most of '21 in general, and yes I never put stock into close losses. Loser doog talk.
UW could do 800x worse than this dude though. Two separate programs winning well above expectations, with both stops long enough to show he didn't get lucky or just ride a hot QB or senior laden team. He has recruited and developed and generally been pretty decent. -
Iowa State is historically one of the worst programs ever. He has won there. I’m cool with it if he doesn’t retain Tom Manning. Their DC is fucking legit tho.

Generally agree with what you said but I think you have to look at close losses in context. (Which I'm not doing for Campbell here.) Close losses are better than getting blown out. It's best to be able to play with everybody.Gladstone said:I don't think we get him but Campbell would be a big dick hire who (1) has been coveted by nearly vacant every program under the sun, and (2) leveled up two separate historically garbage programs.

Close games are mostly luck. Especially in such small samples.BleachedAnusDawg said:

Unless you think Texas Tech hitting a last second 62 yard fg was somehow Campbell’s responsibility?
The best way to win close games is to not get into hem in the first place. -
UW’s entire philosophy the past few years is to stay in close games no matter who they’re playing. See Kwiatkoswki defense as exhibit A.FremontTroll said:

Does anyone even think we are in it for Campbell? This program is such a mess and acts poor, so not expecting much. Probably going to roll the dice on a supposed up and comer.

Firing a coach mid season and paying him $10 million is acting poor?no_uh said:Does anyone even think we are in it for Campbell? This program is such a mess and acts poor, so not expecting much. Probably going to roll the dice on a supposed up and comer.
