On.3 is throwing ND’s Marcus Freeman into the mix.

Seemingly the only evidence of this is Brock Purdy saying so. If ANYONE can find a second confirmation, I'd love to hear it.

It was more than Purdy. A lot of reputable people said it was his job if he wanted it.

I wonder if Campbell sits and waits. Ryan Day is a couple losses away from being gone. I think someone mentioned his two outs in his contract are Notre Dame and tOSU? But he would be absolutely nuts not to take the Penn State gig if approached.

Then again, would you want to step into a pressure cooker job like tOSU or ND? He could probably lose the rest of his games in Ames and still get a pretty lengthy grace period. Penn State would likely give him a bit of grace too with the potential fallout of transfers and etc.

Call me an idiot, but I think Campbell wants the Ohio State job when it comes open. Better to stay at ISU and pad your resume with an easy schedule than go to Penn State or Wisconsin and get your ass kicked.

Day has it rolling at tOSU. I have a hard time seeing that fall apart anytime soon. Unless Day has interest in the NFL…he is staying put in Columbus.

As I stated before, keep an eye on Sherrone Moore and Michigan. IMO, the Michigan job will come open before Ohio St. will.

Matt Campbell is just PJ Fleck with more NIL money.

Exactly. I don’t think Campbell is a big enough name for Penn St. I think Rhule is the guy.
