Matt Campbell era (2016present)[edit]
Head coach Matt Campbell
Matt Campbell, who had been the head coach at the University of Toledo, was named head coach at Iowa State on November 29, 2015. Campbell signed a six-year contract worth $2 million his first year.[74] Campbell finished his first season as a Cyclone with a record of 39. Despite the disappointing record there were several high points during the season that showed progress including several near upsets and a blowout win over Texas Tech. The 6610 rout of the Red Raiders included breaking several school records including points scored in a conference game.[75]
So far, the 2017 season has gone a lot better for Matt Campbell and the Cyclones. The Cyclones are currently 7-4, two of their wins being over #3 Oklahoma and #4 TCU.

Campbell has stated he has no interest in the UT job. Gonna guess we hear a lot of that going forward. IMO, Currie needs to go before the new hire is made. The recruiting class is shot so forget the early signing I got period. Fire Currie, pay him his buy out them bring in Blackburn or Fulmer. Let the new AD make the hire. Everyone know Currie is dead man walking so why waste time pretending this is going to work out. Just get on with this and rip off the damned band aide.
Please hire Campbell. Please. I think he is a homerun hire. Multiple stops great success. Please let us not pass on this guy. His stops before a big time job is resembling Urban Meyer. Sometimes its not that hard. I have yet to see a real draw back other than money. Winning will fix the money issue. Please hire him.
Hes not ready, please... has wins against big time schools. Pay the buyout!!!
