The difference is...Campbell has that record at Iowa State with lesser talent than his opponenets, Franklin had it at Penn State with more talent. 

Counterpoint: 

ISU 7
Ohio 10

But you don’t just waltz into Athens (OH) and walk away with a win.

PSU traded down and paid $9M to do so. No way anyone in their right minds pay $9M to hire a shittier coach. Matt Campbell wasn't even on PSU's radar because they didn't think they would have to settle for someone so low.

He's 5th if I'm being REALLY generous.

I cant find the post, but I called this a couple of months ago. Campbell is legitimately a good fit for that school, not sure why PSU fans are melting down about it. 

Bc they are aggy as fuck

Yeah and Franklin was supposed to be awesome because he won at Vanderbilt.

Getting it done at a small school doesn't always translate to being able to run a major program.

If Pedo tires of Franklin, I could see Campbell to State College.

IMO he's been holding out for Ohio State or Notre Dame (he's from Ohio and his whole family is still there; he's also Catholic) but think he'd take Michigan or Penn State.  All the jobs he's turned down previously were in the south or on the west coast.

Franklin was 0-8 vs. ranked opponents at Vanderbilt. Was cited as a weakness when he was hired. 

Conversely, Clark Lea has 5 wins against ranked opponents (he's 5-17 overall with many losses coming earlier in his tenure). He's 5-4 over the last two years against ranked opponents.

Yes it does. Everybody knows and claims that success at a small school leads to huge success at bigger schools WITHOUT FAIL!

I will give you that, but I also doubt that he goes 0fer against those top coaches over multiple seasons.

Campbell is a thin skinned little bitch (remember when he approached that heckler who was barely talking shit?) and he couldn’t even strike when the iron was hot with the Brock Purdy success. If waiting for the right moment to make a move is taking the Pedo State job nobody wants to touch, good for him.
