Who here had “Matt Campbell” on their bingo card for PSU?

I doubt anyone. Good for Campbell - clear upgrade (for him - them……no way) But, he is the benefactor of the knee jerk firing with no plan and I guess the hubris of thinking many top coaches would vie for the gig. Then James Franklin signs a bunch of their players and they get 2 signees. Alas “we gotta do something or the portal will continue the exodus”. These folks if they were set on firing Franklin “needed” a “yes” in hand from their top 1-2 targets. If they wanted Elko, should had a hard yes from him before firing Franklin. Matt Campbell inherits this mess and the idiots who set it in motion. When we think of the issues we feel with our Athletic Department, remember these clowns.

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

Very good player at Mount Union...about 40 ish miles from State College**

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. **

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.

Al Groh and Seth G were COY twice in ACC

That’s because you’re still not getting it.**
