Matt Campbell would turn down the Michigan job per Dennis Dodds
One of the staff members of Bucknuts.com sent out a tweet about Matt Campbell. Apparently Dennis Dodds said on XM radio that Matt Campbell would not take the Michigan job if offered.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Dennis Dodds on ESPN CFB XM said his sources are saying Matt Campbell is not interested in Texas the two jobs he wants is Ohio State or Notre Dame. He also said Matt Campbell would not take the Michigan job.</p>— jbook™ (@jbook37) <a href="https://twitter.com/jbook37/status/1336320035002826754?ref_src=twsrc%5E…">December 8, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Who gives a fuck what this fruitcake thinks? Spend the money fire harbaugh and go after Campbell please!
December 8th, 2020 at 4:35 PM ^
I have some terrible news, Rx.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:06 PM ^

This has been directly refuted by multiple people today.
OSU Twitter today (among other idiocy) also tried to claim Matt Campbell as an "OSU guy" only because he was born in Ohio lmao
December 8th, 2020 at 4:06 PM ^
Mel Tucker tweeted he wasn't leaving Colorado for Michigan St.
If Campbell doesn't accept 7M over 5 years, then I'll believe this.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:32 PM ^
$1.4M per year seems cheap for a guy making $3.5M per year
December 8th, 2020 at 5:33 PM ^
Over is the new for
December 8th, 2020 at 4:06 PM ^
Doesn't mean much until he's directly asked by Michigan about the job, and I'm sure we all believe Harbaugh is staying anyway, so it doesn't matter.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:07 PM ^
You can’t spell Dodds without odd. Bucknut writers and dODDs: always check the sources.

All we heard from ESPN is that Harbaugh would not leave the NFL. Don't fall for it. All it is is clickbait garbage.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:10 PM ^
No shit, why would anyone come here to play osu? You have to deal with all the BS pressure. There’s a bigger problem at Michigan. It’s why we always have a hard time finding a coach.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:13 PM ^
OSU is a better job than Michigan, but that job is not going to be around for another 10 years. There are distinct advantages to coaching at Michigan than at Iowa State that a coach would want to take advantage of.
Also, I don't think the pressure would turn off Matt Campbell. Harbaugh was given a fairly big leech. I think it is reasonable to speak to a prospective coach and be "Yeah, coaching at Michigan has its share of opportunities, but responsibilities. While we understand that OSU is ahead of where we are right now, the expectations are that we become competitive with them over the years and be able to beat them every 3-4 years. A 0-7 record against OSU will not suffice"
December 8th, 2020 at 4:27 PM ^
Problem is if you start out 0-3 or even 0-2; people are calling for your firing. Honestly, the fan base needs to know we aren’t in the same ballpark now as osu. Also from an outsiders standpoint, you see harbaugh an alum who played qb here and has won a lot of games and that isn’t good enough...that doesn’t give a potential coach a ton of optimism that would cause them to be interested. Just my opinion. Tough job I think. Hope for the best.
December 8th, 2020 at 6:14 PM ^
No one was calling for Harbaugh's firing after going 0-2 and not many even were after 0-3. They were after the 2018 beat down.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:31 PM ^
"Harbaugh was given a fairly big leech."
Finally, now we know why Harbaugh has grown increasingly passive on the sidelines—he's lost so much blood that he's barely conscious.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:48 PM ^
I'm actually the worst.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:37 PM ^
Harbaugh was given a fairly big leech.
Some people are so hard to buy for.
December 8th, 2020 at 6:46 PM ^
Why would Harbaugh want a big leech? That's kinda gross.
December 8th, 2020 at 7:43 PM ^
Kinda?
December 8th, 2020 at 4:11 PM ^
Kirk herbstreit just reported that Les Miles will be introduced as the next Head Coach at Michigan.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:14 PM ^
At least you know how to create a good laugh. Thank you, sir.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:24 PM ^
Laugh? I want to kick Herbstreit in the nuts for this and a plethora of other reasons.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:15 PM ^
Dodds also mentioned this morning that Campbell loves ISU.
Said he would prefer to be a lifer at ISU instead of coaching at UM.
Thats a head scratcher if true.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:34 PM ^
He's 41. Maybe he'd rather spend the next 24 years coaching ISU then 3-4 years at UofM before he gets fired for not beating OSU.
December 8th, 2020 at 6:10 PM ^
It's not true
December 8th, 2020 at 4:12 PM ^
Ah the joy of coaching searches during an era where the media is mostly made of sound bites and trying to be first rather than accurate. Throw "rumor mill" or "what I'm hearing from my sources" in front of anything and you can say whatever you want during a coaching search. Buckle your seat belts, this is going to be a bumpy ride.
Also, how many coaches are we up to now that only want the ND or OSU jobs? ND couldn't even find a good coach for years and now it is a destination job again? And Texas is just as messed up as Michigan.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:14 PM ^
so, he'll be our next DC then? LOL
December 8th, 2020 at 4:18 PM ^
We've had 3 football coaching searches in the last 13 years. Harbaugh was obviously $=#1 on our list and we got him. How far down on the list were Hoke and Rich Rod? 7th for Hoke? 4th or 5th for Rich Rod?
Maybe Warde kicked the tires on a few guys and got a sense that we'd be looking in the second tier for Harbaugh's replacement.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:23 PM ^
Actually at that time everyone wanted RR. He turned down Alabama the year before
December 8th, 2020 at 4:41 PM ^
I agree RR was a hot commodity, he had the "offensive guru" tag and had taken WVU within one game of the CFB championship. However I think Miles was the #1 guy for most of the fanbase, so RR was realistically #2 or #3 depending on where you put Schiano.
Hoke was at least #3 given that Harbaugh was #1 and Miles was probably #2 in 2010.
The only time we got our for sure #1 guy was with Harbaugh in 2014, who we are now displeased with.
Since we only got our top choice 1 out of 3 previous searches it's realistic to think we might not get our top choice next coaching search either.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:47 PM ^
Miles was not number 1 for Lloyd
December 8th, 2020 at 4:21 PM ^
Pfffffttttttttttt
December 8th, 2020 at 4:22 PM ^
Okay, so he's holding out for OSU or ND. Sure
Reminds me of Schiano holding out for PSU.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:22 PM ^
1. This claim has already been debunked by other sources closer to Campbell
2. The job isn't even open yet.

December 8th, 2020 at 8:16 PM ^
You're a baller!
December 8th, 2020 at 4:26 PM ^
It's convenient to say OSU and ND when you know those vacancies won't open up anytime soon. I think he would consider UM or Texas if enough money cannons were shot his way but he doesn't want to publicly feign interest to any jobs that are looking for potential head coaches.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:28 PM ^
Right? I'd only cheat on my better half if Kate Upton came calling.
December 9th, 2020 at 12:18 AM ^
What if Fred Upton came calling?
December 8th, 2020 at 4:27 PM ^
Good he's a third tier coach.
December 8th, 2020 at 11:47 PM ^
Ouch. Whats that make Jim?
December 8th, 2020 at 4:34 PM ^
Dennis Dodd is full of shit.

As has been the case for the last decade+, please ignore Michigan coaching candidate news from anyone who doesn't cover the program
National guys can (and do) spew out garbage to get attention with no fear of consequence of being wrong. We've gone through years and years of Harbaugh reportedly refusing to go to Michigan, and then leaving for the NFL every off season we've had, and they've always been wrong. Please don't give clicks to these people and just trust the local sources who might not be the first report, but are almost always closest to the truth
December 8th, 2020 at 4:38 PM ^
He held for a long time while coaching Toledo, had a lot of offers and turned them all down. He finally took the ISU job, he is a very smart man and knows what he is doing. Plus, he used to be my neighbor. Although I never talked to him.....
