DES MOINES, Iowa —

Former Iowa State head football coach Matt Campbell expressed his gratitude to the community by taking out a full-page ad in the Des Moines Register.

In the letter addressed to Cyclones fans, Campbell wrote, "The hardest decision Erica and I have ever had to make was the one we made last week... what Iowa State means to our family extends far beyond a football program. We will always look back at our time in Ames with the fondest of memories for allowing our family to learn, grow and find our way... together," Campbell said.
