However, according to Pro Football Network’s Tony Pauline, it is extremely unlikely that Campbell jumps to the NFL.
“Matt Campbell is a name that always crops up. It cropped up last time the Jets had a head coach opening. He’s talked about a lot. From what I am hearing, it’s less than five percent, and even maybe less than one percent, that Matt Campbell is the next head coach of the New York Jets.”
Is the New York Jets situation right for Matt Campbell to transition to the NFL?
There are multiple reasons that Matt Campbell might not be the next head coach of the New York Jets. Although there was interest from the Jets back in 2018, Campbell ultimately turned down an interview in New York. On the NFL Draft Insiders podcast, Pauline expanded on the reasons why the marriage of Campbell and the Jets seems so unlikely.
“I really think that number one, Matt Campbell’s only going to leave Iowa State for the NFL if the situation is perfect. I don’t see the New York Jets as being a perfect situation for him for a variety of reasons. Matt Campbell likes the college coaching game. He’s not going to move onto the NFL unless it is perfect.”
