Soupy to Da Bears?

[wwhawk]

A fellow Hawk fan just texted me this:
"REPORT: Bears expected to interview Iowa State's Campbell" is the caption.
The body reads as follows:
"The Chicago Bears are expected to interview Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell in their search for a new bench boss, a source told the Chicago Tribune's Brad Biggs."

I'm not tech savvy enough to transfer the text from my phone to the forum. It looks like a credible text, but time will tell if it has any merit.

A couple of Clown fan friends have replied that Soupy loves A Mess too much to leave.
Maybe, but what about The Mayor and Tim "Pink" Floyd? Hoiberg especially loved his hometown, but he loved BIG pro money and the challenge of coaching at the highest level more.

GO BEARS! (Don't care for the Bears, but this would help lessen my dislike for them!)

The Bears will look good in black and white.

He didn't strike while the iron was hot last time. He almost blew his chance to leave. He may see this as his chance.

I don't think they'd have trouble filling the position if he leaves. ISU is actually a pretty attractive job. They have upgraded their facilities, sell out nearly every game, and every team with a pulse left their conference, leaving it a mediocre conference that is still P4. Really tough for an up and comer to pass on coaching a team with a legitimate chance to win a P4 conference championship and make the playoffs. Along with that, they return 7 starters on offense and defense.

Also, the Bears can’t afford to miss on this one. Things are getting desperate, they ain’t gonna hire a college coach with no NFL experience. All this is going to do is get his ISU contract restructured for more money, which ISU is swimming in right now.

Until grandma McKaskey pases on, that organization in Chicago will be a loser. I'd say don't take it. And yet at the same time He may miss his shot to take that next career move.. Jim Grobe stayed too long at Wake Forest and the moment came and left for him.

From what I hear, the Bears are interviewing every candidate under the sun. Honestly, if I am Campbell, I would not take the interview unless I knew I was the Bears #1 target. Otherwise, you are just giving your opponents negative recruiting material. If the Bears did want him, that would be hard to turn down. Probably double or even triple his salary for the next 5 years and there are only 32 of those gigs available.

I'd take it and others if I was Matt Campbell. Those fans and donors worship the guy because he's the best they've had in over a century of football. He can use that to make people nervous and offer him all the gold bars in the world.

He got that 8 year extension a couple weeks ago but no one has released the financials of it yet, this is definitely a power move to influence what the dollar amount ends up being.
