Iowa State coach Matt Campbell has agreed to an eight-year deal to become the next head coach at Penn State , sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel. The deal will go before the compensation committee of the school's board of trustees for final approval on Monday.
Campbell, the winningest coach in Iowa State history, met with Penn State officials Thursday night before negotiating a deal on Friday. Iowa State has scheduled a team meeting for 8 p.m. ET Friday, sources told ESPN.
In its search to replace longtime coach James Franklin, who was fired on Oct. 12 , Penn State shifted its focus to Campbell after BYU coach Kalani Sitake decided to remain with the Cougars and agree to a long-term extension on Tuesday.
