A person briefed on the decision tells The Associated Press that Toledo coach Matt Campbell will be Iowa State's new football coach.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an announcement was still in the works, though one was expected Sunday. At Iowa State, Campbell will replace Paul Rhoads.
The anticipated announcement would come on Campbell's 36th birthday, making him one of the youngest head coaches in FBS. In four seasons with the Rockets, he is 35-15.
Toledo athletic director Mike O'Brien told the AP on Saturday the school had offered Campbell a contract that would make him the highest-paid coach in the Mid-American Conference.
