Well we have Aranda versus Campbell tomorrow! Guess we can just hire the winner of that game and call it a day!
I think Campbell has a safe floor. He likely won't suck anywhere. I'm convinced he'd be a huge upgrade over Frost. Granted, I'm convinced almost anyone would be a huge upgrade. I'm far from convinced Campbell has as high of a ceiling as others.

If ISU wins this Saturday, Matt Campbell will have beaten a 2-2 team. In other words, basically meaningless. But if Baylor wins, Dave Aranda should be our next head coach.
Nothing against Campbell. He'd be around 4th on my list.
You can argue that Campbell is the best HC in ISU history -- and you may very well have a point.
But consider ISU entered last season loaded with talent and experience -- I could argue the most in ISU history. Top 10 in the preseason polls. And the Clones finished 7-6.
Campbell is 45-34 in his career at Iowa State. He's in his 7th year, with one season finishing ranked in the top 25 (2020, Covid season).

I like the guy, not sure that I love him. Of course, we all have our bye week favorites.
After all that you'd hope one is 2-0 and the others are 1-1 or 0-2. I take it we go for the one that was 2-0. Then again I suppose all three could be 1-1 and we're right back where we started.Campbell v Leipold the following weekend and Aranda v Leipold 10/22. Let's make it a round robin. LOL

Cons: 1-5 vs Iowa
Pros: ISU Fans would explode with Husker Rage as we take their lunch money.
The accounting coordinator for a company I do work for says she is going to start paying in 180 days instead of 30 if we steal their coach.Cons: 1-5 vs Iowa
