Matt Campbell impressed me in that

1) he (or someone in his organization) had a great ability to judge talent. I'm not sure he ever signed a 4star player, yet he made winners out of what talent he had. 2) his ability to get a bunch of florida and texas guys to come to the corn fields of iowa (brutally cold winters) 3) he stayed at iowa state for almost ten years. Most coaches would have bolted after the first winning season.

If you can win pretty big at Iowa State then Penn State should do well

I like both Campbell and Franklin. Great hire for both. Some observations:

Seems like an opportunistic guy. Bided his time in a place he was

Mount Union is in Ohio. About 200 miles from State College.

You're right...mixed up my Mount Unions**

He is a very good coach. If anyone can "coach" them out of their mess,

Instantly good

Nothing wrong with Matt Campbell as your head coach. **
Jeffroww • 12/06/25 10:48 AM ET
Remains to be seen if he is an upgrade for PSU

Why all this fuss about a guy who averaged 7-5 at ISU?
Jethro Tull • 12/06/25 10:22 AM ET
Only 2 coaches at ISU with winning records since the 40s. He and Earl Bruce

From a pure coaching aspect, he's really good.
MKD • 12/06/25 11:39 AM ET
Big 12 coach of the year 3 times is nothing to sneeze at.
Jeffroww • 12/06/25 10:50 AM ET
Al Groh and Seth G were COY twice in ACC
