US EditionIowa State Hires Jimmy Rogers as Coach After Matt Campbell Leaves for Penn State
Jimmy Rogers, a rising star with a 33-9 head coaching record, was hired after a swift search to replace Matt Campbell at Iowa State, athletic director Jamie Pollard said.
- On Dec. 5, 2025, Iowa State announced Washington State head coach Jimmy Rogers will lead the Cyclones, replacing departing Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell.
- Because Pollard had long tracked Rogers, he said Rogers is a rising star with 'very strong ties to the Midwest' and added, 'Since our initial meeting, I have stayed in close contact with him and have been very impressed with his work ethic and understanding of what it takes to be successful at Iowa State.'
- Having won at the FCS level, Jimmy Rogers, head coach, has a 33-9 record with South Dakota State University and the Jackrabbits and went 6-6 at Washington State this year.
- Iowa State University moved quickly and completed the coaching search in minutes, announcing Rogers before Penn State officially named Campbell, leaving Washington State University to launch a national search for a replacement.
- Campbell's departure means Iowa State Cyclones football faces a transition after his 72-55 record over 10 seasons and an 8-4 season record while awaiting their bowl selection Sunday.
