Fascinating Campbell comment

Meh. Coach speak. Does nothing for me.
IIRC, he downsized the head coach’s office , and used the space for special teams .
Lots of talk and it’s easy for him to say in 2026 but the landscape and toxicity was very, very different for BOB and Franklin.
In other words shut up and win games.
He's taking his cues from the Pat Kraft script. I hope he's smarter than that.
Yeah, maybe he should have shown more humility and said something like “we’re going to dominate the state” in recruiting.
We could also go 1-0, except when we play good teams.
Well we kinda did at least for a while.
and 1 word that has never been associated with head coaches, at least the good ones was humilty.
See Indiana.
Dude, this sketch still pops into my head when I head people say "I loved it".
Or he could wait until he beats an Oregon or Ohio State and then explain that he is gratified to give "the university and fan base" the kind of team it's history deserves. I think the expression here is "we beat the teams without a pulse." I don't think beating Marshall, Wisconsin and Maryland is what he was brought in here to do. Penn State has beaten Washington (a first half blowout) and USC (away). Perhaps beating Michigan in the big house is his opportunity to boast.

Poor choice. He certainly can't say that. He lost about every Pa. recruit of value, didn't he?
I believe over time Coach Campbell will develop the relationships in Pennsylvania that will yield the Lions share of home state recruits. Do you like how I did that?

I’m so fucccking full of hopes eternally
He wasn’t the flashiest hire (many of us wanted Elko or Deboer,) but I really believe he was the best hire for this program. He gets us back to our roots where we have the most strength.
any loss with no big game on the schedule would not be acceptable
12-0 is the floor
Not taking into account possible injuries for the opponents, PSU most likely will be a solid underdog against Washington and Michigan because those games are on the road and against USC because they probably have the best qb that PSU will face.
neither is likely to be a top 5 team, not really "big" games
They may not be “big” games, but they’re probably going to be teams comparable to PSU.
They have an easy schedule. I’m loss to usc(I may drive up to this) beat Michigan, lose a stupidly one bottom of first round bracket WIN then smoked
Home Run Hire
Let‘s all give Kraft the credit that he deserves.

He's a big time USC homer. He desperately hopes they compete for the natty. Blowhard USC fanboy is what he is.
I see it as more of a reflection of his overall goal and mindset, rather than something highly specific like “My first season will surpass those of BOB and Franklin.”
And honestly, I like the swagger. I’m on board.
Sure, Campbell said something good here, but...
What did he know about the cocaine ring and when did he know it? Inquiring minds...

As soon as PSU fans get some uplifting comments we get our normal responses from.
Aren’t you tolerant
Lest I remind you that MC hasn’t even coached a single game at PSU.
Is there something about Campbell that you don’t like? He’s originally from Ohio? He coached in the state of Iowa?
Actually like the guy. But there was nothing wrong with our history under BOB or wait for it… gasp Franklin.Aren’t you tolerant

And if you think I’m tolerant your gonna love the first major mistake he makes in the game thread.
