If he didn’t have the history I’m not sure this would be a discussion from either direction.

But it’s a P4 job outside the SEC and Big Ten and not like BYU level. Campbell is leaving because he was frustrated with the resources at times.

He can probably get a bigger immediate payday now but if he ends up winning 5 games for 4 years that puts a wrench into his career trajectory. It’s a pretty tough job imo.

And the NFL path seems a lot cushier without having to deal with recruits, portal, NIL, donors, academics.
