Not sure if Campbell is waiting for a specific job, or if he really loves Ames that much. But at this point right now, he looks like the biggest loser of the coaching carousel.
IDK that i would call him the loser, unless he actively pursued all these jobs and got passed over. He also picked a bad time to have a mediocre season. But even so, USC and LSU hit it further than Campbell could have done. But there are more jobs opening up. Plus the NFL hasnt purged yet. and teams (college) will be getting more desperate. ND and OK hires will create more vacancies. Miami will come open, VAtech is still open.
Awesome and fun to watch while smoking a Conquest cigar.
As I mentioned in a response to @Coachemup! last week, I did some serious digging on multiple candidates when Lake was fired. Of course my 1st choice was Fickell but it didn't take long to figure out that was never going to happen. Deboer's name came up early and often and preferred him over Campbell as I believe DeBoer is a much better 'fit' for UW than Campbell, even though it wouldn't have been a 'splash' hire.
As the news came out, Campbell wasn't sure if he wanted to move to the west coast. That is the last thing UW needed was another coach was always having wandering eyes for other opportunities (like it would have been with Fickell). DeBoer is 100% sold on what UW has to offer. Besides what DeBoer did at USF, his teams improved everywhere he was at.
The other coach UW targeted was Dave Clawson at Wake. It is no coincidence Wake signed Clawson to an extension last week.
lol. i actually did miss the announcement. was it on the news at all? so your second choice? seriously, That 79-9 record is impressive, lets see if its Boise state inflated. He will need Donte to get some decent players up there. Campbell would have been better or Aranda.
Really good hire here. Amazing record at SF, had FS playing well.
It’s Petersen 2.0 type hire. Certainly one of the more underrated hires this year.

Welcome to 2 days ago. DeBoer was hired on Monday. My 1st choice after Luke Fickell.
Did anyone know Lincoln Riley before 2017?
