Iowa State and Matt Campbell are in agreement on a new eight-year contract after the head coach led the Cyclones to their first 10-win season ever.
The new deal runs through the 2032 season. Financial terms were not disclosed by the school Wednesday.
No. 18 Iowa State (10-3) lost to Arizona State in the Big 12 championship game last weekend, knocking the Cyclones out of the College Football Playoff. Iowa State will play No. 13 Miami in the Pop-Tarts Bowl on Dec. 28 in Orlando, Fla.
“It has been rewarding to see the amazing impact Coach Campbell, and his staff, have had over the past decade on our University, athletics department, and the young men in our football program,” ISU athletic director Jamie Pollard said. “Given all the uncertainty currently facing college athletics, it was critical that we moved quickly to solidify the future of our football program. Matt is the perfect fit for Iowa State University and I am thrilled he wants to continue to lead our program.”
Campbell is 63-51 in nine seasons at Iowa State and will lead the Cyclones to their seventh bowl game in his tenure. He went 35-15 in five seasons at Toledo prior to being hired at Iowa State.
