I had seen a Pat Forde article stating he heard from multiple sources that Campbell was interested in the job.
Campbell to Nebraska?

Where are you seeing this? People in this thread seem to think the Iowa State coach _might_ take the job. That is hardly evidence that we seem to think Nebraska is an elite job.
If we thought Nebraska was an elite job, Campbell would jump at it without hesitation.
I mainly think any B10/SEC job is a step up for anyone in the Middle3, including Campbell. The resources are guaranteed to be better.
Also, it is really rich for an ISU fan to call it two decades of futility. Lets compare Nebraska to the greatest 20 years in the history of ISU:
Nebraska 155-110 .584
ISU 113-148 .432
If you think Nebraska just put up two decades of futility, what do you call the performance in Ames?
Hell yeah. Damn would love an employment contract like that. Wouldn't feel a ton of stress I can tell you that.
Why is it rich? I freely admit that Iowa State has never had a good 20 year run and its historical performance is worse than NE's when measured over any extended period of probably more than 5 years. My use of "futile" should be read in the context of and relative to UNL's unreasonable expectations and its fan's lofty self-image. But if you want to nitpick word selection, that's your prerogative.
They don't want him. He isn't good enough for them. Same sentiment for Campbell and Bill O'Brien.
I think we would all agree they are going to try for another home run hire (an established head coach).
how many years and what kind of guaranteed money would it take for someone to leave a comfortable job and head to Lincoln? I threw out $8M/year for 7 years, fully guaranteed.
If Deion Sanders was the coach at Nebraska, he would make Osborne look like a Boy Scout.
Should have just told Clay Helton to stay in town Saturday night. He would be a vast improvement.
Walter Payton went there brother. I am not a Bears fan, but in my opinion Walter was the best ever.
They would not be the best team in the B1G under him but they would be the dirtiest.
