You want to make this about Frost, but I'm saying Campbell has done well, but he's not the second coming of Nick Saban. And none of us know what things were like around that facility or our own for the first 3 years. Heck, if you want to make a comparison, try Frost's first 2 years at UFC, and then try to figure out what things were so different or more difficult. Frost at least got that team to .500 the first year, and undefeated the next, so should ISU be disappointed Campbell hasn't matched that?What he has done compared to Frost is not even debatable. You can say he is Riley like all you want, but he has Frost beat by a long way at this point.. and that isn't even close!
Can Frost get better than him? Jury is still out, and it depends on if he will be humble enough to realize what he is doing isn't working. Some of his assistants are not getting it done..
He's canned some of his assistants, and in most cases, we are seeing some pretty substantial results from guys many of you had said needed to go last year. It has nothing to do with humility, it has to do with making proper evaluations, determining the root cause of various success or failures, and deciding what actions should be taken. You act as if this is a 'scrap it all and start with what TO did', because that's just not the world we live in. And remind us again if ISU runs a form of a spread or not, since that's the benchmark you want to use. Frost has made adjustments yearly, but only an idiot would make drastic ones.
