Acting like a fucking toddler. Afraid to go coach at a real program. What a loser. Suck that big Bevo dick ISU.

This is very strange.  We are leaving the conference because we have a closer relationship with OU than any other school, and a package deal was arranged that would benefit both of us.  OU made the mo

This is one of many reasons why you shouldn’t lose to a team that plays in a 21,000 seat stadium that requires you to walk across a grassy knoll to a separate locker room building like in high school.     

It’s cool that they went there and lost, though, because Ohio U is a great party school and those kids are gonna be throwin’ down tonight. Good for them.

I’ve been getting annoyed by Campbell’s smugness, but I’m pretty close to being out.

I’m actually glad that he flipped out on that guy. I was starting to wonder if he cared at all.

That dude is like 6” shorter and 80lbs lighter than me.

Hey, they beat UNI decisively.

What happened, did y’all’s recruiting get worse? Y’all were trending up and it seems that Campbell’s/ISU’a downfall coincided with NIL gaining momentum.

Recruiting has actually got better on paper.

I really don’t know. Seems like Campbell started reading his press clippings to me.

I think it’s definitely an “on paper” recruiting boost rather than reality.  The perception was that Campbell was some wizard doing less with more, but then you go back and see he had:

1. Four years with Brock Purdy.  A guy people perceived as a plucky overachiever, but it turns out he’s a good NFL starting QB.

2. Two RBs in a row playing multiple seasons each who are NFL starters.

3. NFL WRs, TE, a 1st round pick on defense last year to go with other NFL defensive players, etc.  

He had way better talent than people thought.  He gets credit for acquiring the talent, of course, but to the extent he just got lucky with Purdy and a few others can’t consistently bring in players that impactful, then you’re looking at a fall off.  And he’s a huge douche, so that fall off won’t be handled gracefully.

This is pretty much it. They had much better players than people thought. Five star culture was 100% bullshit the entire time, this video is just more proof that Campbell is not a good leader who would have any idea how to implement a superior culture. 

Obviously a lot of ISU fans bought into it because it made them feel morally superior by association.

Controversy Unfolds As Iowa State Appears To Be Robbed Of Game-Tying Field Goal By Referees

The kick certainly looked good upon review.

Screen-Shot-2023-09-16-at-2.19.23-PM.png

 

Iowa State football lost to Ohio University by three points on Saturday. The Cyclones fell to 1-2 on the year after their roster was decimated by an offseason gambling scandal and then hit by food poisoning earlier this week.

Michigan, Notre Dame, or Ohio State. Those were the jobs he was waiting for I think.

He’s going to need to keep on waiting. I remember at one point you were inclined to believe he wouldn’t even take at least one of those and, hell, you might have been right.

to think that there were people on this board that wanted this guy to replace herman. 

The money had a deal with him. CDC and his backers squashed it. This was closing out 2019. I hope things worked out for us, but let’s not act like it looked like a terrible approach at that time.

You remember wrong.  I've always thought he would take one of those if offered.  When Kelly left Notre Dame, I was very much sweating it.

I'm no longer concerned about a better job even wanting him at this point.

From my cheap seats it looks like the typical story of someone being told he's God so long that he started believing it himself.  5 straight winning seasons at ISU isn't a fluke, but something broke in his brain after the 2020 season, and it's hard to tell if he ever gets out of it.  Either way, he's fine.  He's making a shit load of money and has an extremely long leash with his current employer.

We bought into it because it looked we were winning with lesser talent, when the reality in hindsight is that Campbell's probably a little underrated in his ability to spot talent.

His first bowl team seemed like they had exceptional culture, because they'd been so shitty the last couple years of Rhoads, and came off like a squad of try-hards that overcame the odds.  In reality, there were quite a few guys that would go on to play in the league, and a couple of them (Lazard and David Montgomery) have been pretty fucking good.

Campbell's a good recruiter and talent evaluator who thinks he can and has manufactured some superior culture, and that appears more and more delusional of an idea with every passing week.

What a fucking loser. And to think I once thought he was a pretty good guy. The FG may have been good, but should they need it to beat fucking Ohio that lost to Kent St last year. Fuck Campbell and his 5* culture. Damn, I hope we kick their ass in Ames.

He probably is.  There's been absolutely no rumors whatsoever of him doing anything inappropriate off the field, and the guys who play for him seem to universally love him.  I know a guy who has worked for ISU football since 2006.  That's McCarney, Chizik, Rhoads, and now Campbell that he's worked for.  He's emphatically said Campbell's the best human of those 4.

He's acting more and more like a bitch during games, and I get why other fanbases would want to dog pile on that (I would if I was a fan of another school) but I've seen absolutely nothing to suggest to me he's a bad person.

Among friends and family I would refer to the Texas - ISU game as the 'Tism Bowl during the Herman tenure, watching him and Campbell tangle was an excruciating watch every time.  Personally I don't know what it is but I cannot stand Campbell even in the limited bits I've seen of him, and it's puzzling to me how he managed to pick up acclaim.  Upsetting teams as an underdog can be done anywhere, anytime, by anyone, it takes belief and passion but it's not the worst place to be in psychologically in sports and particularly in college football.  Having a talented team and getting beat by the Ragin' Cajun and limply conceding defeat in the 4th quarter was enough for me to condemn Campbell as a HC at any serious blue blood.  Being bitch made on the field but coming at fans off the field is exactly what this guy has always been made of, and maybe he just didn't have the delusional self confidence at the start of his tenure to let it show.  He needs a small ish program with low expectations, forgiving sports media and that's the ideal pairing for a guy like this, ditto Herman.
