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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
