New Penn State Coach Matt Campbell reveals the non-negotiable family and value alignments that finally convinced him to leave Iowa State. Learn the priorities he established for evaluating major program opportunities under high external pressure.

Short Summary

  • Campbell prioritized family proximity and alignment with institutional integrity over maximizing resources alone.
  • The transition process was a "whirlwind five days" culminating after meeting with key university leaders.
  • The immediate priority upon arrival is assessing the existing roster's needs rather than rapidly deploying new resources.
  • Future success depends on maintaining the core principles of development and character built previously.

This interview captures Matt Campbell’s first public remarks after accepting the Penn State head coaching role, giving host Josh Pate a look behind the scenes. Campbell details the speed of the decision, the necessary alignment with Penn State’s culture, and how he plans to immediately tackle roster management in the modern college football climate.

Josh Pate should get consideration to be the NCAA FOOTBALL COMMISSIONER. He has relationships across many programs, he truly cares about the game and he’s passionate.

Josh Pates coaches interviews are second to none and quite possibly some of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. Allowing his interviewee to talk and making it longer than 10 mins is a great way to allow for us to get to learn them and him appreciate things like this Josh!

Bama fan here (living in the DMV now) but Penn State made the right choice— go take the Big10 back and do great things Matt. This is the kinda Coach I’d want for my own son. Looking forward to watching how this plays out.
