If You Want A Young Offensive Minded Coach Here He Is - Matt Campbell

[bobsfoodbasics]

Matt Campbell is the current HC at Iowa State.

He has been linked to the Browns HC job, but with their turnaround, they may just end up keeping Williams/Kitchens. The Patriots tried to bring him in as an assistant coach last season. Saban tried to hire him at Alabama. His buyout at Iowa State is $7m. For a small program, that is a pretty significant buyout. It shows you how valuable he is.

He is only 39 years old. His teams are always competitive. In 2017 his team took their backup QB into Oklahoma and shocked the #3 team in the country. His team then beat the #4 TCU Horned Frogs later that month.

His coaching record 53-33. Pretty impressive coaching at programs with no recruiting power and very little financial support.

At the least, he should be brought in for an interview.

Sign me up. Or just get him on the team. I'm ready to take a risk

Zero NFL experience. He's 19-18 at Iowa State (though he's 8-5 and 8-4 in his last two seasons). If I was a mid-level P5 college program I might be interested. Not a chance I'd hire this guy as an NFL HC right now.

i don't really care about the whole "no nfl experience" thing, but I do care about the whole "how in the world do you assemble a staff?"

players or kids sons can theoretically get around that, but not campbell. He's a great coach though.

Rather go Dan Campbell than Matt Campbell

Assembling a staff is part of the huge concern with hiring a guy with no NFL experience. Especially coming from a non-powerhouse school. The coaches at powerhouse teams almost always have a lot of NFL contacts simply because they constantly have NFL prospects on their team. Campbell would certainly not be getting top flight NFL assistants to come work for him.

No need to speculate when the same coach will be here next year.

He's been a head coach, and is currently an assistant head coach for the Saints.

[raz]

and he failed miserably and was the laughing stock of every nfl fan and sports show.  he has never been  a coordinator has he?  so if he doesn't get a hc job he has no way to move 'up'?  i don't think anyone is gonna ask him to call plays.

matt sounds better.  i rather try that than roided up crazy man.

I’m convinced, especially since I’m in favor of any coach whose name doesn’t rhyme with Don Divera.
