I hereby crown you King of the random funny GIFs that have nothing to do with the subject matter at hand. They are fantastic but almost always seriously out of place in the threads you post them in.
October 30th, 2015 at 9:09 AM ^
regardless of whether they are relevant to the post or not. They're funny.

when someone is recording video.
I'm sure the ski slope fall that broke my leg would have made interesting video, and I'm glad that all I have to show for it is a bunch of metal in my tibia, a long but subtle scar, and incipient arthritis.

...that Illinois cannot be as sucessful a program as Iowa?
There was a time when Illinois was a decent program and challenged for the conference chanpionship now and then.
Iowa has just made some better/luckier coaching hires than Illinois. Could happen at Illinois too if they get lucky with the next hire.
October 30th, 2015 at 12:37 PM ^
Iowa has made approximately 1 coaching change in the last 59 years and they still are on the hook for several more.

I'm thinking Hoke for Minnesota. Knows the Midwest, does not need a coat when it is cold and they will accept 7-5 and 8-4 every other year.
October 30th, 2015 at 11:46 AM ^
Hoke at Minnesota would make me happy. I would enjoy beating him every year and watching his clap like a seal all game.
October 30th, 2015 at 10:16 AM ^
Minnesota? Or Illinois?
October 30th, 2015 at 1:55 PM ^
Doeren from NIU or Fleck from WMU make more sense if Minny is going MACtion.

Yikes, I knew that! Carey is who I meant as he was a Minnesota GA early in his career

The OP states
Being from Toledo myself, I can tell you that at 500K he can live like a guy making 2M in some expensive city, so I'm not sure the money matters too much.
I understand the point, as cost-of-living should always factor into job move decisions.
I'm not sure that's the whole story, though. It assumes that living in Toledo is equivalent to living in any other town. He may love living in Toledo, but ... he may not. Just as important, his wife and family (assuming he has a wife and family) may want to live in another city. Plus, once you buy your $600K mansion in Toledo, it's not going to grow in value like it will in most college towns.
Finally, there's an element of ego that goes into it. Many of us have made career moves to make more money and advance our careers, even though it did not really impact the quality of our day-to-day lives.
Anyway, thanks for posting this. Campbell certainly looks like a guy who will be talked about during the hiring season.

I'd take the promotion should one arise. But that's just me.

but far from the only one in calculating the cost of living. You could buy a nice house on an acre of land in Mt, Pleasant for $200K. What would that cost in Manhattan? You can't expect an apples to apples comparison in comparing housing costs.

The older I get, the more I can see why someone would refuse to climb the coaching ranks when they're already in a nice situation where they're highly valued.
October 30th, 2015 at 11:09 AM ^
I completely agree. It's not like he is going to walk into a situation where winning is the norm. It happens time and time again. Coaches find success at MAC-level schools and jump at the opportunity to try and find success at doormat programs with no avail. It all comes down to personal ambition and goals, but I would stay and win at UT before I would leave for a program like Illinois or Kansas. If you have enough success there, a better suitor will eventually come calling and the transition might be easier based on facilities, program history, etc.

I guess you could say fame was like a drug to me, but was even more like a drug were the drugs.
October 30th, 2015 at 8:58 AM ^
he gone.

I know of one fanbase with a hoped-for vacancy that is head over heels in love with Campbell.

Not sure if sarcastic but its obviously virginia. But until they actually fire Mike London I'm going to believe he will somehow stay forever.

I hope Harbaugh disables his phone at the end of the season
October 30th, 2015 at 9:27 AM ^
He lived on the same street as I in Perrysburg, lets just say I moved to a nicer neighborhood, he still there.
He's a humble guy, house is under 200K, loves his life.
