This is a really silly statement.  Look at their winning percentages in the B12.  We play a roundrobin every year, so that's a comparison against the exact same competition.  Is Texas' B12 record over the past 4 years significantly different than ISU's?
Yeah, because Herman came in and inherited a roster of 4 and 5*.  He's not a bad coach.  Any decent coach can win 8 games a year at Texas or USC or Michigan or Ohio State.  It's Year 4, and Campbell has Iowa State straight up better than Texas

If Ryan Day flames out or goes pro I know OSU would be giving a long look at Campbell. But he is from Massillon.

He’s not flaming out lol. He might go pro though. After putting out a pair of top 10 nfl draft pick QBs and his offenses smashing B10 records, he might start getting NFL looks.

Idk, maybe I'm being an ignorant ass here, but Urban to Austin sounds to me a bit like Jon Gruden to Tennessee.  An embarrassing absurdity based on nothing.
You’re being an ignorant ass. 

Urban is a career college coach that has no desire to coach in the NFL. It wouldn’t be a shock to see him get back into college coaching at a major program like Texas or USC. At all. And it’s not like he’s been out of football that long. It’s been what, two years? Stranger things have happened.

Jon Gruden was a career NFL coach, who never expressed any desire to coach in college. Ever. He’s an NFL guy through and through that had been out of coaching for like a decade and turned down NFL overture after NFL overture. Why on earth would he have ever considered the Tennessee job- a job that is inferior in every way to the Texas job I might add. That was just pure fantasy with zero chance in hell of ever happening.

Texas could actually pull it off if they pursued hard enough and threw out a lucrative enough offer.

Urbz is a competitor. I’m sure the cushy tv gig gets boring after awhile. Almost every coach gets the itch and comes back. The only one I’ve ever seen say I’m done and be done was Jimmy Johnson.

I lean to thinking proximity and having a nice town are not enormous recruiting draws today for the five star level fellers.

A lot go to Tuscaloosa.

It wouldn’t be absurd. But my guess it is nothing more than a fanbase’s wish with no merit.

Tuscaloosa is a pretty crappy college town, but I don’t think the croots go there for the atmosphere.


Maybe this is exactly the point you were trying to make.

Texas' peak isn't any higher than Florida's or Ohio State's.  There are a group of schools this is true for, and all 3 are in that group.

It's not that at all.  The list of coaches that have beaten Texas over the past decade is long and not particularly distinguished.  The entire point is that a guy like Campbell is just a sideways move.  Why fire a .600 kind of coach just to hire another .600 kind of coach?  What's the point?
Because .600 at Iowa St is great and at Texas is below average.  Iowa St is 24-19 (.558) in conference games under Campbell.  In this current configuration of the Big 12 ISU was 7-29 (.194) in conference play before Campbell got there and has been consistently lousy in any configuration of the Big 12.

If you are looking at Campbell and Herman as just a couple of .600 coaches you are using zero context.

Prove that Herman inherited a roster of 4* and 5*.  This is your assertion.  Prove it.
