Remember when some of us wanted Napier?

to be fair, the Florida job is a nightmare and has been since Muschamp was there. The booster types have gone bipolar. Anybody walking into the swamp with a whistle needs to make sure they have a heck of a payout lined up.

so what is he, the 5th or 6th guy they offered?
He better make sure he has a hefty contract and a huge buyout. because if he does not get to 10 wins by year two, they'll go off the rails.

It's also possible that they don't offer him as much as what they were going to offer their primary targets.

He's probably made $50M over the past 10 years and he'll make $10M+/year at PSU (I would guess). for however long he is there.

I think he'll be ok no matter what happens.

I feel like my guy is pretty well connected still. He played baseball in the early 2000s for them. Who knows though. It could be all smoke.
Was watching the Pat McAfee show earlier and it's basically a done deal. Just dotting the "i"s and crossing the "t"s. They did mention that they were still finalizing the compensation part of the deal though.

He wanted to interview in 2021 for the TCU job but Donati wouldn't wait to the end of the season.


Records from 2018-2021
Iowa State (31-20)
TCU (23-24)

Results from 2022-2025
Iowa State (30-21)
TCU (35-17)

Nobody wants our coach I guess, but I think we've done ok, relatively speaking. Good thing you didn't take that bet I offered. I knew you wouldn't.

I’m going to bet much of Happy Valley is not happy.

I wonder what Happy Valley thought of Franklin when he was hired. Franklin came from Vandy IIRC, and had managed to go over 500 his last year or 2 there. Franklin may not have won as many games at Vandy as Campbell has won at ISU-- I don't know.

Maybe PSU can be sold the story that a promising coach from a historically down-trodden program can succeed for them. Don't know about that either.
