As Albert Einstein famously said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
For the majority of my life, that phrase appropriately encapsulates how I've felt about Iowa State football. However, Matt Campbell seems to be embracing one of my favorite mantras, which is why I'm more excited than ever for the future of Cyclone football.
In fairness to Jamie Pollard, Iowa State's athletic director embraced this concept during the coaching search, too. Prior to Campbell, ISU had hired three middle-aged defensive coordinators without head coaching experience, and outside of a few select seasons, results have been sub-optimal.
