    “Fuckload of money for assistants and support staff”

    what is different than what we did for Herman or even strong then? They both got new coordinators in efforts to make them better. Had plenty of money. I hate money being thrown as some reason to make us feel better. We’ve always thrown money at assistants and support staff and we are still here. My comment has nothing to do with Campbell vs Herman, but to say money alleviates any worries with Campbell is dumb

    Because you trust that Campbell can make the right hires and having a large budget means he can go after the guys he wants regardless of what they make now.

    Iowa State has just as much NFL Talent on their roster as ours. They aren’t a team of scrubs.

    But where they NFL projections to start outor has the ISU staff made them NFL caliber?  One of, If not the, most glaring issue with this staff is players that do not develop.  Yes, you will have high 4 and 5 stars that are busts but nowhere at the rate it happens here.  he develops kids.  Can that be said here?

  3. Somebody talk me out of Matt Campbell.  I realize he is not the fancy, splash hire that most of us want, but he is what we need.  I have not seen many coaches do more with less than he has done at ISU.  He was also good at Toledo before.  I will take substance over flash any day of the week.  Can any of you say you don't fear having to play ISU with him as the coach?  I think that is a pretty good litmus test for a candidate.  Hell, I know Lincoln fears him.  Here is his record:

     

    Year Team Overall Conference Standing Bowl/playoffs Coaches# AP°
    Toledo Rockets (Mid-American Conference) (2011–2015)

    Iowa State: 34–27 26–19  
    Total: 69–42  
          National championship         Conference title         Conference division title or championship game berth

     

    I get the bowl record is not the greatest, but again, these are with 3 star kids with a few 4 stars sprinkled in.  Now imagine what he could do with 4 star kids and some 5 stars.  Am I totally off base here?

    That’s a coconut isn’t it? Someone suggested it may stand for bucknuts and the plate feather for eating crow.
