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.

Yellawood private jet flew to Ashland, VA this afternoon and quickly got back in the air, appears to be heading southwest, further west than a path back to Alabama

Being me...I think what Campbell did was a better job. He had more than one bad year. Even if we say the Sunbelt and the MAC are on par with each other. Looking at their conference records. 24-8 vice 20-26. So Mario had more games played in his tenure. (6 yrs vice 4) I tried to look at common opponents in their overlapping season which was 2012 but their wasn't one...however, Toledo barely lost to AZ in that year. So it looks like you prefer Cristobol while others may not. You may not like Campbell because of the loss this year early to the Cajuns but to me OSU loss is worse given how bad that team is regularly and the Cajuns do well in their conference with regularity and Napier is a good coach in his first stint as a head coach which is another name to really consider...
