I think he was PSU's 17th choice.

Kind of reminds me of when Rocket Ismail played for Notre Dame

Was Campbell their first choice? Second? Third? Ask PSU fans what they think.

Franklin mid-season he would make sure no one he represents would coach for them. Sexton is very powerful and he also represent a huge number of sports media personalities. PSU had to take Campbell and I'm not saying he isn't a decent coach, but their (PSU) choices were severely limited.
