Campbell and Earle Bruce are the only ISU coaches with winning records since “There will be Blood” times. “Crucial” is a good word for this.

Campbell’s return for ISU was immense and has made it a place a good, smart coach would want to be. Yes, holy shit recruiting, but it’s that for everyone not elite and especially schools with “Iowa” in their names.
Penn State and Matt Campbell have agreed to broad terms that will make Campbell the next head coach in State College, per a source. Yahoo first. Nittany Lions search is down to hours some 54 days after dismissing James Franklin.

Pollard is smart and has run this drill billions of times. Campbell (you know, if this happens) brought the program so much value. If McCarney is ISU’s Hayden, then Campbell is its KF. I’m not sure Gene Chizik wore the colors at his condo. Paul Rhoads was entertaining. Best physical comedy coach.

How much would Penn State have to pay Campbell? $12 mill a year?

And Penn State the brand is over. The Jugdish table awaits. Speaking of which, Rob and I are going to pod tomorrow morning. I wish I could look up some of the stuff I wrote in the way back, but microfiche and card catalog.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?
TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded
BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

Matt Campbell to Penn State feels a lot like Kirk Ferentz to Jacksonville circa January 2003.

It's not like Iowa State has ever lost a talented, young coach to Penn State before, right?

Really was pulling for Gronowski to get honorable mention. I’m glad I don’t know how to follow recruiting anymore, but portal is the next big story. Until Nebraska announces new OL coach Brian Ferentz. And then we have the Game of Thrones. (Kidding, kidding, I’m pretty sure.)

DBT w/ Isbell tonight on Colbert. I spent the last two weeks on a military base. So a pretty long T-break. Started having dreams again. God, they were dull. Like dreams Hank Hill would have. Delivering the mail. Hey, a squirrel. Hamburger. Than a giraffe’s chin right meow.
