Of the two, who will be the better head coach if they were to land at a helmet team like say Florida State or Texas or Michigan.

I've been surprised by Fickell.  He's been better than I anticipated.  The last couple years they've been good, but their record was probably better than their team.  But this year they are flat out good.

Campbell is Harbaugh; he'll get you ten wins, but he won't beat your rival or win you a conference title. So I'd take a flyer on Fickell.

Probably Fickell. Maybe neither.

I'm a believer.  The bigwigs don't seem to want him but I thought Sparty should have gone all in.  Not sure how long Illinois will roll with Lovie but they could be a spot too.

Of the two, I'd take Fickell. That said, I'm not sure either coach is interested in coaching outside the Midwest.

I think Campbell is a very solid coach, but he's found success by playing defense in a conference that doesn't. I don't think he'd elevate a program to the top of a defensive-minded conference.

So Campbell has your party pictures and you're rather pithy about it but that's just like your opinion,man and not a very professional one

Harbaugh not going anywhere.  

But, if you want solid recruiting, solid player development, a consistent identity on offense and defense, a team that plays hard every week, and a team that rarely beats itself, there are many choices better than the existing head coach.

I can see Campbell inquiring about FSU/UM not sure about UT as they're in the same conference.His stock may never be higher so if he has a hankering to move now may be the time as these are all Bluebloods.Same for Fickell As IH 15 said they both might like be comfortable where they are at

IMO he's not,as the situation is like Texas - big buy out and not a slam dunk hire out there

Campbell supposedly turned down FSU last year. I agree that he wouldn't move within the conference. The only three jobs I feel confident he'd take are Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Michigan.

Big buyout? Tom has one of those. Jim doesn’t.

I'm not sure how I feel about Fickell.  I loved him as a player and as an assistant at tOSU and he is doing amazing things with the Bearcats but his interim HC year in Columbus was an unmitigated disaster.  He took a team that went 12-1 under Tressel the year before (only loss on the road to a very good UW team) and 12-0 the next year under Meyer and he went 6-7 with them. 

So the question is:
Did he suck as HC in Columbus because he just wasn't quite ready or because being HC at a major helmet program is just not his thing?  

That is the risk TX, FSU, or M would be taking by hiring him.  If it was just because he wasn't quite ready then it looks like he IS ready now and he'd be a great hire.  If it was because being a HC at a major helmet program is just not his thing then whoever hires him will be looking for a new HC again in a few years.
