Candle’s path similar so far to Campbell’s

Matt Campbell's pre-head coaching job resume read like this:

Offensive coordinator/u200boffensive line coach at Mount Union; offensive line coach at Bowling Green; offensive line coach, run-game coordinator, and offensive coordinator at Toledo.

Near the end of the 2011 season, just days after his 32nd birthday, he succeeded Tim Beckman as UT's head coach.

A little over two weeks ago, 36-year-old Jason Candle followed Campbell as Toledo's 27th head football coach.

Candle's resume, to that point, read thusly:

Receivers coach at Mount Union; offensive coordinator at Mount Union; slot receivers and tight ends coach, receivers coach, offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach, and associate head coach at Toledo.
