Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Iowa State coach Matt Campbell received a request from the Jets to interview for their head-coaching job, but he declined to do so.
Campbell is one of the popular college coaches who have been linked to NFL jobs over the past few months. However, he agreed to an extension with Iowa State and it’s possible he could stay where he is for now, despite the NFL interest.
Campbell, 38, began working for Bowling Green State as a graduate assistant back in 2003. He spent a few years at Mount Union as their offensive coordinator/OL coach before returning to Bowling Green in 2007.
Toledo hired Campbell as their run game coordinator for the 2009 season and he eventually worked his way up to head coach before departing for the Iowa State job in 2016.
During his three years at Iowa State, Campbell has led them to a record of 53-33 (61.62 percent)
