Taking a downtrodden Iowa State football program and turning it into a respected contender in the Big 12, Cyclones head coach Matt Campbell has emerged as one of the best culture-changers, leaders, and overall program-builders in the sport.
Campbell’s work in Ames has landed him on the radars of NFL teams. In particular, Jets fans have been buzzing about Campbell for months, long considering him as perhaps the best option to become the team’s next head coach. The anti-Adam Gase, Campbell’s CEO-style of team management seems to be exactly what the fledgling Jets need.
We have yet to hear any official reports of NFL teams bringing in Campbell for an interview, but considering that he is coming from the NCAA and not the NFL, we are less likely to hear any rumblings about interest in him.
