"SORCERERS"

It's a joke!

 

[Hawkboys]

Looks like we won't be complaining about ISU being on our schedule from '21-'25.

I have heard Arkansas,

 

[DDThompson]

I have heard Arkansas,

That would be a mistake.

 

[Hawkboys]

That would be a mistake.

Yea- Probably 8-10 better openings out there this offseason. Altho the Jones' $$$ could do to Arkansas facilities what Nike $$ did for Oregon.

 

[archiehawk]

After all he got ISU to a 7-5 record no wonder he's everyone's golden boy.

 

[uihawk82]

I have heard Arkansas,

Yes, a once proud program went into the dumpster but their fans and big boosters I am sure want to at least get back to above avg. So they could throw some big money around

I have heard Arkansas,

You spelled Lane Kiffin wrong

As much as I dislike Iowa State he'd be better off staying there than jumping to the Arkansas dumpster fire.

The FSU and USC jobs would be a big step up though.

it's also a SEC school that he could fly under the radar and what if he sneaks into the SEC champ game a time or two? if MC truly feels he's ready for the big time and FSU and USC are honestly interested, then he'd take one of those spots. after what Day is doing at OSU, he looks like he's gonna be their guy for some time and it's plan B for the coaches like MC and the guy at UT that probably were eyeing the OSU job. so spend 5 years at AR, and then move to top tier. need to be honest, MC is one helluva good coach.

when was the last time ISU went to 3 straight bowl games?

 

[ssckelley]

when was the last time ISU went to 3 straight bowl games?

Dan McCarney 2000, 2001, and 2002 seasons.

 

[ArvadaHawk]

Dan McCarney 2000, 2001, and 2002 seasons.

ok, so a 15 year span. which is my point. that's actual provable evidence that a coach is good if they can do that at ISU.

Yep, they've got some big money to throw around. I can see them making a run at Fleck.

And before McCarney ISU was pretty much bowl-empty for 20 years

 

[WinOneThisCentury]

If I'm USC or Florida State...Campbell would be at the top of my list. If he can win at ISU and make that program competitive...he can succeed and likely be there a long, long time. I hope he goes.

 

[Seth53]

USC is a lock.

ISU copied their uniforms afterall.

 

[Chickenlounge]

I've never seen a pig in a rowboat, so I'd be down for that. Plus, it would get him and his antics out of the B1G.

 

[JRD90]

Coaching perception can change fast, so if Campbell wants a blue blood type job he better go sooner rather than later or he is going to start getting passed by the PJ Fleck/Mike Norvell/Luke Fickell crew, if he hasn't already. Those guys are at schools similar to Iowa State, but they are winning more and higher ranked.

Look at Brohm at Purdue, he was a very hot coach last year, and now they are 4-8 and his name won't be mentioned for a big job anytime in the near future.
