Following a tweet by ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit regarding the future of Matt Campbell, many speculated the 37 year old coaching prodigy would be leaving for greener pastures, essentially referring to Iowa State as a “stepping stone” program.

Travis Hines of the Ames Tribune has confirmed through near triple digit anonymous sources that Matt Campbell will be leaving Ames following the 2017 football season to claim the throne atop Mt. Olympus as the lord of the sky and supreme ruler of the Olympians.
