Are you effing kidding me? Jesus, Poles. If they hire Campbell, just burn Soldier Field down.
Pretty interesting. Indicates that Campbell will leave for the right spot.
I also think he learned something after the last time he was the "it" boy. His name was super hot for a bunch of vacancies about 3 years ago. He turned them all down. A couple disappointing seasons and the interest faded.
His interest is at another high right now, so he must be willing to take a strike before the iron cools again.
Or he’s looking for very lucrative contract extension ala KF!
He just got an extension through 2032. No way ISU would sweeten the pot again.
I figured he’d be a lifer at ISU like Kirk for us but he probably sees the writing on the wall after conference realignment.
The Big 12 and more specifically ISU is not in a good place long term.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Bears.
Well they are looking for a new stadium so..
Him leaving short term helps Iowa, That roster will come apart at the seams and it will hurt in State recruiting so go commit career suicide and take that trash job
MC makes $4M/yr in Lames. Eberflous was getting $4.5M. (est) Moving from Ames to Chicago that's a pay cut with a lot more pressure. Even if they offered him $6M, chances are it'd be a much shorter run than he'd have in Lames. This interview is just to keep his name active in NFL circles, connected and inflate his perceived value with Clone fans.
I have a feeling he could get another college job after making like $30 million from the Bears. Probably a job in one of the only two major conferences remaining.
Relax. The dumbass wanted Mike McCarthy. I’d take Campbell 8 days a week over that turd.
that's one way to get that new stadium!
The Bears continue to make Jerry Jones look smart.
On the surface, it just looks like a choice between job security and accepting a new challenge. Either he thinks he’s accomplished everything he can at ISU and will welcome a chance to coach at the highest level, or he will stay at ISU for too long. Sounds familiar.
Been seeing this statement for 15 years ever since Nebraska, A&M, etc left. Maybe one of these decades it will be true.
The towels in the head coach's washroom must be embroidered with just the first name.
The Bears are probably better than their record indicates and they have their QB of the future (supposedly) and they weren’t devoid of talent when they were able to draft a QB #1 overall like most teams are when they draft #1 (recall the Bears got the pick from another team - can’t recall which one tho). But dang they play in a tough division!
Unless he’s simply wanting a new challenge, he’d be an idiot to accept that job if offered imo. Then again, it’s truly possible that itch for a new challenge is there. He probably has achieved all he can at ISU. Even with a 12 team playoff - possibly 16 in the future - I don’t see them threatening often, if at all, to make it.
All that said, it would be nothing but positives from the fallout for the Hawks - go get it Matt!!!

I don’t think it’s exactly that, because he has interviewed for other jobs, and not gotten them.
Clearly he likes coaching at ISU, but there are jobs he’d rather have. He just needs to get offered.

The Bears asked the Cowboys for permission to interview him, and the Cowboys turned them down.
Gronowski has Campbell looking for the first flight outta Ames.
The Bears are so screwed up that hiring a guy like Campbell could be brilliant or a monumental bust. Whatever they done over the last decade + certainly hasn’t worked.
They are interviewing 12+ candidates, among them Pete Carroll. I am guessing his agent got the interview for him, maybe for the experience. Very few college coaches have successfully made the cross over to the NFL as the head coach, most have failed. Timing is everything, I am sure ISU is happy that his new contract has been signed.
Smart way for MC to get the Clones to fork over more dough for assistant coaches and facilities.
As a hater of ISU and Bears, I hope they offer him
Me too but seeing Carroll and Vrabel on the Interview list My guess is one of those 2 but it is the Bears and they are known for being sub 30 IQ stupid
