The three-time Big 12 Coach of the Year has had a rough stretch since the start of last season, when Campbell is 5-10 overall. The Cyclones went 1-8 in Big 12 play last year, his worst conference record since taking over the Cyclones in 2016 when he went 2-7 in league play.
The Cyclones begin conference play this weekend hosting Oklahoma State. Kick off is set for 3:00 p.m. CST on FS1.
