Matt Campbell is setting his offensive staff at Iowa State, headlined by by the promotion of assistant head coach and tight ends coach Taylor Mouser to offensive coordinator, according to a report Monday from ESPN's Adam Rittenberg.
Mouser has been a part of Campbell's staff since 2015, dating back to Toledo. He was a GA for the Rockets, then assumed the same role when Campbell took the Iowa State job ahead of the 2016 season. He's steadily climbed the latter over the past nine years -- first to assistant director of scouting, then to a senior quality control for offense, and then to tight ends coach in 2021. He was named assistant head coach ahead of the 2023 campaign.
Mouser steps up to replace Nate Scheelhaase, who took a job on Sean McVay's LA Rams staff earlier this month.
Additionally, Campbell is set to promote wide receivers coach Noah Pauley to pass game coordinator and offensive line coach Ryan Clanton to run game coordinator, while running backs coach Jake Waters will switch to quarterbacks.
Pauley and Clanton joined the ISU staff in 2023, while Waters has been in Ames since 2021 as a senior quality control coach for offense.
To fill the open spot on the on-field staff, Campbell is set to hire Tennessee State offensive coordinator Tyler Roehl to coach running backs.
Roehl was the offensive coordinator at North Dakota State through last season, but Eddie George lured him out of Fargo as part of a long recruitment process as detailed by FootballScoop's John Brice last month.
As always, stay tuned to The Scoop for the latest.
