"Iowa State coach Matt Campbell has agreed to an eight-year deal to become the next head coach at Penn State, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel. The deal will go before the compensation committee of the school's board of trustees for final approval on Monday. Campbell, the winningest coach in Iowa State history, met with Penn State officials Thursday night before negotiating a deal on Friday."
"Campbell, the three-time Big 12 Coach of the Year, led the Cyclones for 10 seasons and achieved eight winning seasons, two Big 12 championship game appearances and a Fiesta Bowl victory over Oregon in 2020 for the school's first-ever top-10 finish. Campbell, 46, went 72-55 during his decade at Iowa State, becoming their all-time winningest coach last season, and went 35-15 as head coach at Toledo from 2011-2015."
"He'll bring strong Midwest ties to the job as a Massillon, Ohio, native who began his college playing career at Pitt before winning three national championships as a player at Division III Mount Union. This season, Iowa State started 5-0 and climbed as high as No. 14 in the AP poll before a four-game losing streak knocked the team out of the Big 12 title race. The Cyclones rallied with a three-game win streak in November to go 8-4."
