Iâm guessing it will not be Iowa State assistant coach Nathan Scheelhaase. The former Illini star is in his third season with the Cyclones, serving first as running backs coach before moving to work with the receivers. Iowa State is a rising power in the Big 12 and plays Oklahoma on Saturday for the conference title. The school wisely plucked Matt Campbell from Toledo in 2016 and has enjoyed a great run of success. While Lovie Smith was going 17-39 at Illinois, Campbell is 34-27 in Ames. Four winning seasons after a 3-9 start. Back to Scheelhaase. Some fans on social media have been clamoring for him to get the Illinois job. Which again, I donât think is going to happen.
