This is a very smart move by Iowa State. Campbell is one of the best coaches in the country, he has options to leave and ISU would be hard pressed to find a replacement nearly as great.

When you have a great coach, you do whatever is necessary to keep him around. That’s especially true when the coach has elevated the program to new heights.

The Cyclones went 9-3 in 2020, and that’s about as good as it’s going to get in Ames. The Big 12 program isn’t a traditional power, and going 8-4 or 9-3 is a great place for the Cyclones to be.

Campbell has turned them into a program that consistently wins, and he’s now inked a monster extension.

All the way around, it’s a winning situation for everyone involved.
