Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[MoCo_Vol]

Nah underrated honestly. Top 10 coach easily in the sport. What he’s down at a trash program like Iowa State is crazy.

You're crazy and if that's what folks think then he's for sure overrated.

Ryan Day
Kirby Smart
Curt Cignetti
Dan Lanning
Lane Kiffin
Mike Elko
Marcus Freeman
Kalen DeBoer
Kalani Sitake
Josh Heupel
Steve Sarkisian
Kyle Whittingham
Lincoln Riley
Dabo Swinney

That's just P4 coaches that are better I can think of off the top.

 

[BigSteve09]

I genuinely wonder who can make Penn St that good..

OSU has such a monopoly on talent and so does Michigan really

I mean, can you get enough talent up there? Overcome OSU and MI then beat whatever SEC teams in the playoffs?

I know his teams choked, but let's say they didn't choke last year or other years against Ohio State? Who are they beating for a national title? Those Saban Bama teams? Georgia? LSU? Trevor Lawrence and Clemp?

Maybe they've just been missing a generational QB. That definitely held them back. They weren't winning a title with Allar or Trace McSorely.

Franklin realistically had everything set up there a few times over to be successful and would just crap the bed in prep and game day execution

2025 BCR 68%
2024 BCR 61%
2023 BCR 55%
2022 BCR 55%
2021 BCR 56%
2019 BCR 60%
2018 BCR 53%

in 2014 they were 21%


Franklin proved you could recruit there, build there

he just never put all the pieces together, and when he did have all the pieces, the moments were too big for him

 

[LIvol]

I was just watching Pat McAfee...do u know when a kid says it was not about the money? I wish they were like homeless people in NYC who just say I want money to get high or drunk

 

[GVol1966]

Remember when everyone was so high on this kid coming out of Baylor and it was between us and the gumps and Saban made a visit to the school and that was it... he goes there, is injured, comes here, and no one even talks about him ...

Hasn’t been anything to talk about yet

[Go Fight Win]

Sounds like I went at the right time. 35 degrees was collld there (with the wind as well). Still love it but think I'll go again after it warms up.

summertime nyc is elite

 

[Vol423]

They were dumb hiring Franklin but they’re reason was “can’t win big games” or whatever. Campbell has and has at Iowa State of all schools.

Really? Exactly what big games has he won at Iowa State? I'm not sure Iowa State has even ever played in a big game.

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

On Bey: still rife speculation or any facts yet?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Nah underrated honestly. Top 10 coach easily in the sport. What he’s down at a trash program like Iowa State is crazy.

Dude

He is a solid coach but top 10? Campbell has only had one double digit winning season in 10 years at Iowa State.

 

[GVol1966]

Hope they’re realistic and give him time. They put him behind the 8 ball.

Dudes had multiple opportunities to take jobs elsewhere over the years. He chose this one, so he put himself behind the 8 ball

 

[MoCo_Vol]

On Bey: still rife speculation or any facts yet?

Until he turns 18 (Christmas Eve) or until portal opens in January there's not going to be anything but speculation.

 

[VOLociraptorr]

Josh Pate is never going to shut up about this one. Ugh.

He

Josh Pate is never going to shut up about this one. Ugh.

He was convinced at one time that Billy Napier would work out if given enough time.

He's more convinced that Campbell is elite.

 

[Vol423]

That has always been my thought as well but most people come to his defense when I say that pointing out he is at Iowa State moving mountains with his coaching ability.

There are no mountains in Iowa.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Guessing Utah needed Moa NIL money.

 

[Weezer]

I barely post here anymore...because of crap like the Bey thread. We lose our minds over a moody angsty teenager's college decisions. Find someone else to be your fall guy.

With your daughter starting college next year, you are about to truly losy your mind over moody angsty teenager decisions.

Also, you need to calm down.

 

[BigSteve09]

they couldn't Pula more together

 

[PEPPERJAX]

There are no mountains in Iowa.

Do mounds of cornhusks count?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

they couldn't Pula more together

What a Pula by BYU!

 

[UpstateVol613]

If USA doesn’t get to the knockout stage…

 

[Weezer]

What's the latest on Bey-watch?

 

[NCFisher]

Could be big news for our portal haul

"In response to the accusation that matching scholarship numbers with other P4 conferences unfairly advantages the SEC, commissioner Greg Sankey nervously blurted out "Uhm...okay - we'll got to TEN conference games!"

 

[UTK]

You're crazy and if that's what folks think then he's for sure overrated.

I’d take Matt Cambell over the following right now without a second thought;

Dabo Swinney (washed)
Lincoln Riley
Kyle Wittingham (great coach but Cambells a bit better)
Steve never won a thing Sarkisian
Lane never won a thing Kiffin

Should read: Utah has flipped its commitment from twin brothers to Moa

 

[Weezer]

'member when we were like "gotta close Moa", what a great class!

then, we were like "no moa? no problem.....bey is back"

and like today, we're like....no moa....no bey......wtf?

good times.

We define "good times" differently.
