Rogers credits Campbell for making Iowa State job too good to pass up and setting him up for success

Jimmy Rogers admired Iowa State football from afar as Matt Campbell was leading the Cyclones through the best 10 years in program history, and he had designs on the coaching job long before it was open. The 38-year-old Rogers signed a six-year contract that initially will pay him $3 million per year, about double his salary in his one season at Washington State. The Cyclones were 72-55 and played in six bowls under Campbell, who was hired last week to replace James Franklin at Penn State. Iowa State finished 8-4 this season, with the players voting to not play in a bowl.
