There are indeed a bunch of weird hippies and hipsters in Oregon but there is something off about the place that rallied behind "no blood no assault!" when it came to crimes against children to try to excuse their dear leaders calling others weird.

This is why I draw the Nebraska comp. There are other similarities but this is the main driver for me.
Once Nebraska lost whatever they had that let top end talent look past that reality, they cratered and may never get back. Sprinkle in a few bad coaching hires and you have the blueprint for the path the Pedsters are already on and will stay on barring some miracle imo.

I do not choose to discuss it
My impression has always been that Nebraska’s winning strategy was taking skill position players who had no other options due to academics or off field issues and putting them behind roided up Midwest farm boys. In both scenarios, the importance of the location was minimized.

I can't believe that's an AD at a major university. Guess I'm old-school - If I'm the Univ Pres, he's no longer my AD.

As I recall it they went from 80's pretty good to 90's dominant when they started getting their skill players from the LA area something happened and they lost that (Osborne retired is one obvious catalyst) and they went down hard for the past 25 years or so.
I think I read that something demographic happened and that midwest farm boy base took a hit as well (their famed walk on program).
Still gets back to talent in my mind, if you are in a remote are with nothing for kids to do you are going to have to sell something else and they don't have much to sell. Same basic pattern Nebraska showed.

Campbell has had bigger jobs offered to him and turned them down.
I think he turns this Chernobyl disaster down.

Looking at anything you might buy, house car etc and you just instinctively catch "why does this seem so nice for such a low price? something has to be wrong with it"
I think that is where the PSU job is to the college coaching fraternity shoppers.
Someone will be broke/desperate/dumb enough to buy it but most people just know something is off.

Wrong glass, Sir.
They also couldn't load up on prop-48 kids once they joined the B12. The academic cases that other schools couldn't take (or had strict limits on how many) were their bread and butter. A joke at the time was that Nebraska players could do everything with a football except autograph it.

Hopefully this works out for Matt. I know his name has been included in some of our recent coordinator searches. The guy definitely deserves his shot after what he’s done in Ames. He doesn’t have much pressure to win immediately, but will be saddled with a lot of pieces to rebuild through the portal and into the 2027 recruiting cycle.
Fuck the Pedsters, but congrats to Matt who’s always done things the right way.
