We all thought of Josh when the hire happened
Penn State took the scenic route
As a lifelong Penn State fan and alumni, I am very excited to have this guy running our football program! I see BIG things in Happy Valley in the years to come!
They contacted who they thought was his agent, but they never heard back. Here he changed his agent. Then they contacted his new agent and the rest is history
I went to Toledo his first year as head coach, and the guys i knew on the football team absolutely loved him. Not only did he stay at ISU when he had better options come his way, he took salary cuts so he could keep staff members around. Matt Campbell is not only a great coach, but he's a great person. Penn State is very lucky to have someone like him after how poorly they've handled the coaching search.
Problem: Matt Campbell wasn't talking with anyone until after the season.
A+ hire, they wasted a lot of time but at least they got their guy
Damn, that video Josh. Hair and a black shirt! Different times.
Was waiting for this video for 3 days. Why the hold up?
Iowa State fan here I appreciate you apologizing because it did feel a bit like you were trying to push him out. And the twitter picture as well... but good on you for owning up to it - that is the kind of thing that makes you one of the best out there!
