  "account": "Matt Campbell, former head coach of Iowa State, has been ranked fifth in CBS Sports' Big Ten coach rankings. He took over the Penn State football program, seeking to revive its fortunes after James Franklin's tenure. Campbell's reputation from his successful tenure at Iowa State is believed to have played a significant role in his ranking. During his time at Iowa State, he was able to recruit well, particularly from the college football portal, which helped him revamp the roster at Penn State. Fornelli, who authored the ranking, believes Campbell's success at a smaller program will translate to future success at the bigger stage. With an easy slate of opponents in the Big Ten conference, Campbell is set to establish an identity for the team as it strives for national relevance.",
