Other side of coaching: Matt Campbell

[L A M P]

Not sure if everyone got to see this. Pretty cool.




Just a small window into the heart of a coach who is in it for the right reason. Might play against us with Mario (loyalty) but nice to see nonetheless. Big Campbell fan!

 

[MichiCANE]

If I ever had kids, he’s definitely be a dude I’d want them to play for. Seems like a great guy

 

[407cane]

I wish we had some connection to him, he's an elite coach in my eyes with how he consistently beats better talented teams

He deserves better if we’re being honest.

Don't understand the obsession with this guy

 

[Us Against The World]

I wanted this guy as coach before Mandy got hired. Dude is a giant slayer. Only drawback is sometimes he loses games he shouldn’t as well. Hindsight is 20/20

Matt Cambell's ISU teams

2021:

#9 ISU lost to #10 Iowa
#14 ISU lost to UR Baylor
UR ISU beat #8 Okie St.
#22 ISU lost to UR UWV
UR ISU lost to UR Tex. Tech
UR ISU lost to #13 OU.

2020:

All the teams ISU beat they were ranked higher than but lost to:

#6 Okie St. and #10 OU

2019:

The only team ranked higher than ISU that they beat was #19 Texas. They lost to #19 Iowa, #22 ND, and #9 OU

2018:

the only higher ranked team ISU beat was #6 UWV. Lost to #5 OU, #13 Texas, and #12 WAZZU

2017:

Beat #3 OU, #4 TCU, and #19 Memphis

2016:

Lost to every ranked team ISU faced


Summary: quit spreading the false narrative that Matt Campell consistently wins games against better teams, because besides 2017, that simply isn't true. There's a reason why Matt Campbell is still at ISU and will be there. He's an overrated coach.

false. ISU's record vs teams that are ranked higher isn't as good as you are making it seem. After 2017, ISU is horrible vs teams ranked higher.

Big thing is he’s at Iowa State. They should be a Kansas/Illinois level school. Games he “should win” would be losses for them 99% of the time.

Like I said. Hindsight.

what are you talking about?

are you implying that because he was ranked higher that he was the better and more talented team in those matchups?

so talent level is always based on current AP ranking?

because that's idiotic. He was ranked higher with LESS TALENTED teams due to coaching ability. he's a good coach and put Iowa State on the map

Let’s just disregard the tons of coaching opportunities he’s turned down the past few seasons. Those schools should have just asked your taRke fiRst.

That's how it works right? Wait, no, you're right, Bama's win vs Miami was an upset. Miami the more talented team. Sorry.

Some of our fans man LOL. This is exactly how we got stuck with Golden...we never learn.

 

[Artist Formerly Known As]

Dude is at the 2nd choice school in a state with hardly any recruiting footprint in the middle of nowhere. The fact he wins more than 4 games a year is impressive.

Really? He’s at Iowa St. Literally was a joke before he got there - like 2 bowl games in 3 decades. Last year he beat Oklahoma, Oklahoma St., and Texas, and embarassed Oregon in the bowl game. And he is doing it with 2 and 3 star kids. Does that help at all?

W-L's don't lie. Since 2017, his teams don't consistently beat other talented/more talented teams. That's the argument. The argument isn't what he has done for ISU's program. the argument is (from the post I was replying to) that Matt Campbell consistently beats teams better than his team, and that is not true in the past four years.

Red Herring. Al Golden has nothing to do with this argument.

Tons. You have google. I’m not saying your take of him being overrated is inaccurate.. but tons of others big time programs disagree with your assessment.
