The 41-year-old was the head coach at Toledo before jumping to Iowa State before the start of the 2016 season. He was 3-9 in his first season with the Cyclones, but didn’t have a losing record after that. Iowa State defeated Oregon, 34-17, in the Fiesta Bowl.
Campbell was rumored to be a potential candidate for the New York Jets’ job after the team fired Adam Gase. CBS Sports reported that Campbell would talk to the Jets about the job, but the Des Moines Register later reported that it wasn’t true.
Campbell declined to talk with the Jets before the team went with Gase, according to the Des Moines Register. He also reportedly turned down a job in the New England Patriots’ front office in 2004.
