AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State coach Matt Campbell has promoted line coach Tom Manning to offensive coordinator. Manning spent the past four seasons as an assistant under Campbell at Toledo. Manning then came with Campbell when he was hired by Iowa State last month.

Manning and Campbell were teammates for a season at Division III powerhouse Mount Union. Manning later coached at Mount Union for a season before joining Campbell at Toledo.

Manning’s promotion fills one of the last pieces on Campbell’s new staff. The first-year coach still has yet to hire a defensive coordinator. Iowa State went 3-9 last season under Paul Rhoads, who was fired in November after seven years in Ames.
