"Nick Saban thinks Matt Campbell can have success at Penn State but not if the Nittany Lions keep their championship or bust mentality: These places that have to me a little bit of unrealistic expectations that were going to win the national championship. Only one team wins the national championship and theres a lot of competition out thereI mean theres all types of factors that go into whether you can finish the season the way you want. So to make that sort of the goal which is an outcome that We got to win the championship or were gonna get rid of the coach to me is totally wrong. And theyll"

"Matt Campbell was courted frequently throughout his time at Iowa State but chose to stay because of his family. But when Penn State came calling Campbell decided to finally make the move for the same reason: "COVID hit in 2020 and I became a head football coach at XX years old. I was drinking out of a firehose to be honest with you. Until COVID hit and then you had this grace period. You usually don't get that until they fire you. "You're sitting at home that spring and I remember looking at my wife we had four children at the time and I said 'This is what's going on at home' It was humbling"

How much involvement he'll have is an evolving question: "The first thing I can do is not be a hindrance to this great team. To watch these guys climb back it's been super impressive. My respect for Terry Smith and the seniors on this football team going to win four in a row that's huge. I think we'll figure out Terry and I where is the best place that I cannot be a hindrance to this team. "It allows me to be able to start to build for the '26 team and yet still be"
