Our roster has a lot of work to do lol.

we have talent.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

For some reason I just have a gut feeling it’ll be Campbell and it’ll be announced on Monday.

Matt seems like a guy who would get along real well with Danny. I don’t think he wants to leave ISU, but Danny didn’t plan on leaving UCF either.

Campbell till it isn’t!

I’m believing

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

the thing about Campbell, that i even overlooked, is that he's been pretty consistent over a several year stretch. he's competitive at a high level, and has won enough big games to keep them relevant in the conf title talk, and they've avoided, for the most part, the embarrassing type losses.

the only thing he doesn't have is big time resources...

i don't know how good he'd be here, i really don't. but as "safe bets" go.............jeez, that'd be the safest bet we've placed....in a very long time.

I just can't believe we could get that lucky...I refuse to believe this is a real possibility. I will believe it when I see it..

 

[BruinVol]

Confirmed is probably too strong of a word.

Hubbs was the reporter.

That’s as solid as it comes unless the post here was misleading imo

 

[Sleegro]

I’m caught up finally, and like where’s everyone at?

Did y’all miss this? Follow the post stream and check out the likes. Campbell may seriously be in play. Good Lord. This would be epic

 

[jakez4ut]

we have talent.

yeah, in spots. i wouldn't say the cupboard is full by any stretch.

if i was going to hang hope on something, it's that the QB room looks better today than it did 7 weeks ago. so that's something work around, early on.

defensively...yeah...got some work to do.

Wow...I just noticed that..

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

Who is it guys? I'm ready to win today.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Roster we have? You mean the one flying out of every window and door?

We’ve only truly lost 1 player so far.

The others are in the portal. But all the new talent we just brought in last year and this year is really really good.

It was not. He believes he contacted him.

oh, i agree....but it's fun to think about it.

I mentioned Jimbo on Wednesday, when we were discussing who would be worth $7-8 million per year and close to realistic for us to get. I just don't see Campbell being worth that much money right now. He's at $3.5 million (wiki), we shouldn't have to double that to get him to Knoxville. I think he would be an 8-9 win coach here, which is better than what we've had. $4- 4.5 million is top dollar for Campbell, IMO.

*I'd rather give Freeze $4 million or Chadwell $2 million and get the 8-9 wins.

Not getting Campbell for that amount. Think about his side of it. He’s a hero at ISU and can stay for a while. Unless he just falls on his face, they want him. Business wise, he should only take a new challenge if the new school promises him roughly 5 years at 5.5-7.0 million per year. He can take that chance. It’s simple math.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Uhh with whatever coach we get and the roster we have we better be Atleast touching the verge of the playoffs by year 2.

Dear lord..

People are stupid..

Yes, @Bassmaster_Vol is a troll and changes his AVI like I change my underwear

 

[columbia vol]

If we hire a first time coach in the position that we are in than I have to ask “what the hell” JMO

yep. and for us, it'd be totally worth it. you get the big splash, w/out a ton of drama. and a guy that is actually got a real life proven track record at a P5 program.

 

[C-town Vol]

We all would do well to embrace this thought:

There is more than one person who could come in and do well here. It’s not like there is ONE person, and if we don’t hire that person we have no chance. There are 20+ coaches out there who could do better than what we have done the last decade +.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

I disagree with this. Does it need work yes. A lot of work? No.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Dear lord..

You better retract that statement sir.

 

[volswillrise12]

I just want to get back to the years where we finish the year ranked most of the time. 8-4 sounds great

It’s not a unreasonable view in my opinion. I read an article in the Athletic the other day pretty much stated that we should be a Top 25 program in football consistently. I mean 8-4 on off years...that should be the floor at the very least.

 

[BruinVol]

It was not. He believes he contacted him.

Thanks that’s a lot different than I thought I read


Too many pages to go back and see it

You change yer underwear 17 times a day? You may need to see a doctor.

defensively...yeah...got some work to do.

we had work to do no matter defensively. for an offensive guy, Botch left offensive cupboard bare. For a defensive guy, Pruitt recruited badly on defen...i just dont think he was as great...sigh. we have some talent but got beat by Kentucky. We have work to do.
