Matt Campbell to interview for Chicago Bears HC

[icwesthawk]

Is it Spagnola at the Chiefs who is just outstanding but has never been a head coach?

He was a pro head coach in STL for 3 years and stunk at it

 

[Birky]

What has he really accomplished? he got an asterisk season with COVID and he slopped out some close wins with a very easy schedule this year. He's been Good for the clowns but hasn't done anything impressive enough to warrant consideration for any premier job

Other than being their best coach over the last 100 years? Other than that, no, he hasn’t done much.

Johnny Majors had a losing record at Iowa State during their golden era of the seventies.

Earl Bruce went 36-32, and that got him the Ohio State job.

Gene Chizik 5-19, and got the Auburn job.

Again, other than being their best coach since Coolidge was in office, he hasn’t done shit.

And Savior Dan was WELL under .500 overall. And he's really the godfather of modern ISU FB.

Though he has Pollard and McCarney to thank for laying a foundation where this run is even possible (not to mention the biggest teams leaving their conference).

You’re not wrong.

McCarney was an underrated coach for them.

8-3 Earl (3 years) was in the running for the Big 8 championship late in the seasons. Given they were competing against 2 national powers and resurgent CO and OSU it was quite a feat which got him the OSU job...like him or not. Mizzou was a tough out then as well.

Plus, he's very young

 

[Rifler]

The bears are to HC's what Iowa is to QB's.

Sorry, but the Bear's misuse of talent extends well beyond the coaching staff...

 

[WhiteDog125]

There is no saving ISU football without McCarney imo.

Thanks for the correction as a TV person just this weekend said he had never had the chance to be the head guy

 

[retrodent]

Matt has done enough he can stay at isu for 20 years like Kirk and Hayden- he makes enough, kids can go to same school all the way through high school- would be a fool to leave that

 

[BirdistheWord]

Really? Considering where Campbell is, I’d say he’s done pretty darn well

I was a little harsh and I think he is a pretty good coach but he is not ready for the NFL.

I used to slam Jamie Pollard back in the day. Thought he was a huge dork for pulling things like the i380 billboard, freeway sign AKA the scoreboard at JTS, Gene Chizik coins, etc. But over time I’ve grown to respect the guy for all he’s done for Iowa State athletics. Things can and do change overnight in sports, but right now he has Iowa State football and basketball performing at levels they’ve never achieved.

 

[Fan In Black]

2001 called and wants it's Iowa St is taking over the world hype back.

Yeah…he’s still a huge dork.

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.

But did he turn them down or is this just lies from the clowns? Doubt that he was ever offered an NFL head coaching job.

 

[herkhatescy2]

Enough of this Iowa State and Matt Cambell love fest. This is a Hawkeye board.

 

[Fran-Con-2]

Jets fanboards say he declined an interview several years ago.

Additionally, according to Pro Football Talk, Matt Campbell turned down an 8-year $68 million offer to coach the Lions in 2021.

Of course, at that time, the Lions were in a ton of disarray. But looking at it in retrospect, that was a pretty crazy decision by Campbell since it appears he does want to coach in the nfl.
