Campbell beat us with Toledo, and now has Iowa State in a much better place than they have any right to be. However, he’s long been rumored to be a “probably going to the Big 10 and nowhere else guy.” Do you think the geographic origins of a coach matter?
Adam: Not at all. Sure, I’d rather fail with an Arkansas guy than with a non-Arkansas guy, but I’d prefer most of all to get the best coach period. Campbell shows a lot of signs that he’s that coach.
Luke: Here’s an old but relevant reference: Frank Broyles had no geographic ties to Arkansas before he came here.
