Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

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.

• Texas - #4 nationally, #1 Big XII (14 4/5*)
• ISU - #59 nationally, #12 Big XII (0 4/5*)

• Texas - #2 nationally, #1 Big XII (22 4/5*)
• ISU - #67 nationally, #8 Big XII (0 4/5*)

• Texas - #17 nationally, #2 Big XII (9 4/5*)
• ISU - #63 nationally, #9 Big XII (1 4/5*)

• Texas - #17 nationally, #2 Big XII (8 4/5*)
• ISU - #59 nationally, #10 Big XII (1 4/5*)

• Texas - #10 nationally, #1 Big XII (14 4/5*)
• ISU - #64 nationally, #9 Big XII (0 4/5*)

If you're the Texas AD you have to make him say no. I don't think he'll come back, but Texas might be one of the few jobs that might make him think about it seriously and maybe even say yes.

Here's a 5 year, $12 million per fully guaranteed contract. Here's total and complete control. Here's the largest budget in the country for recruiting. Here's the largest budget in the country for assistants, and here's the largest budgets in the country for strength training, nutrition, and support staff.

Have to basically kiss his ass royally and give him a deal that's too good to pass up.

I think the best question is who takes a shot with Hugh Freeze?

Tennessee

 I could start a rumor easily based on nothing that could get traction and passed around as a thing, when it's really a nothing.
