Iowa State has announced Matt Campbell as the next Cyclones football coach. Campbell agreed to a six-year contract with a first-year salary of $2 million. The Des Moines Register reports Campbell will be officially introduced at a news conference in Ames at noon, today (Monday). At Iowa State, Campbell will replace Paul Rhoads.

The anticipated announcement would come on Campbell’s 36th birthday, making him one of the youngest head coaches in FBS. In four seasons with the Rockets, he is 35-15. Toledo athletic director Mike O’Brien told the AP on Saturday the school had offered Campbell a contract that would make him the highest-paid coach in the Mid-American Conference.

According to USA Today’s salary database, Western Michigan coach P.J. Fleck’s salary is $800,000 this season, highest in the MAC. At Iowa State, Rhoads made $2.2 million this year.
