quote:similar to what you are doing to Campbell...I am not so sold on Cristobal as I remember him from FIU days (Look at his conference record with his recruits while there). He has most of his recruits there now at OU. So we will see how he does next year. Campbell in his stint at Toledo did a great job there. I think he has a worse job than OU because of the donor situation. Let's face it, much easier to recruit at OU than ISU. So Campbell is at a disadvantage there. I just think Campbell has the harder job and has done well where he is at and probably has the better team chemistry to do what they have done in their conference, where OU (IMO) has the better facilities, money, etc and can attract better players. I just believe that campbell has done more with his recruits in comparison. That is how I look at both coaches. Cristobal has had experience in the south where Campbell is at a disadvantage there. Cristobol has also worked under Saban so he should know how to work angles (wink, wink) where Campbell turned down working for Meyer at OSU which may actually say something about him as a person seeing how things in Meyers org has been covered up from UF to OSU.
Its not so much that I like him, its that you (and a few others here) dislike him, and work your asses off trying to justify it.

I think Cristobal did a great job at FIU considering his age (one of the youngest HCs ever in modern CFB) and the program’s history. He had one shitty year and their admins overreacted.
Oregon is obviously better positioned for success than ISU, and has a better reputation, but they are hardly a national program. Despite this, Cristobal got them their first ever top 10 recruiting class in 2019, their second highest (#11) this year, and is currently 5th in 2021. And he’s currently making a million LESS per year than Campbell, with a smaller buyout. And I still think Campbell would prefer staying in the midwest.
All this is moot, however. We are stuck with Gustav at least through 2021, more likely through 2023.
