OT: The Shine Is Off Coach Prime

[rutgersguy1]

Since you brought up ISU, made a note in another thread about Matt Campbell. Seems a lot of people think he is great, but his overall record for the 8-10 years he has been coaching does not seem to be fantastic. Had a couple of rough years in 2022-23, and he's having a good year this year. Thoughts on him?

I just responded to that post lol.

Big 12 is just terrible. This is the same Colorado team that was dominated by Nebraska.

Hew's a good coach in a program hard to make ab elite one.
Campbell will have some very good teams because of his coaching but always just under what's considered elite. because of the type of talent willing to go to a program like ISU if a name brand offers.
Sometimes Campbell won't be able to get the best out of his players (injuries and/or talent on team) and down years will be the result
He's putting himself ( if he wants to leave for a bigger payday) in a position where name brands will be looking at him like they did before 2022-23.
At 44 he has miles left on him and that's a plus for a name brand looking to find a HC that has a winning resume

Seems like Coach Prime's glow is fading. Watched a bunch of the 2nd half of the game against Stanford and Colorado does not look like a team that is playing well at all. Of course, when you're head coach doesn't actually coach 'em up it's harder to fight through adversity.

Do they turn it around and qualify for a bowl game or

Lol
