Iowa State has a good one in head coach Matt Campbell. That’s the clear consensus everywhere you turn.
Heading into the 2019 season, Campbell is on the Dodd Trophy watch list for the nation’s top college coach. He’s coming off back-to-back Big 12 coach of the year awards, the result of the best two regular seasons at Iowa State since **checks notes** 2000. He’s delivered the school’s fourth ever bow win and the first in nearly a decade.
By all accounts, Matt Campbell is a hell of a coach. He was a rumored candidate for a number of NFL jobs and there was speculation of a return home to Ohio when Urban Meyer stepped down at Ohio State.
