The Toledo players, overwhelmingly, want offensive coordinator Jason Candle to be their new coach.

Football Scoop is passing along this report and also reporting Ayeni will stay on.

How about can these guys recruit Big12 talent? Who gives a **** where they are from.
@JordanStrack: Campbell will absolutely be taking Tom Manning with him to ISU. Jason Candle will go as well. Louis Ayeni on the ISU staff is staying.
Athlon lists him as the #10 Coordinator on the rise. It says he's known as a good recruiter. Nice hire.

Looks like both of them are, like Campbell, Ohio guys who went to mount union and coached there and toledo.
From Rivals, looks like Candle did some recruiting in FL and PA, most of Manning's recruit targets were OH kids.
I wonder if the report is that Campbell WANTS him to come with, barring a move to promote him to Toledo HC? Maybe he elects to stay and become a head coach. I guess we're inclined to hope he comes with Matt.
If it's true the team wanted their OC to be their next head coach, I would take that as a positive sign, yes.
Out with the old and in with the new. Younger coaches compared to the previous staff. This could really be a good thing. As long as we can keep the Florida/Texas recruiting pipeline, I'll be impressed. The chances of making Ohio a recruiting pipeline would be a great thing. Let's see how he fills out the rest of his staff. Especially on the defensive side.
If Tom Herman leaves Houston for the Big Time, I would make a hard press to get his DC, Todd Orlando, although statistically, the Toledo defense was pretty good, too.

Orlando's defenses are ball hawking, turnover focused defenses that have been near the top of FBS for the past four years. He currently earns $500,000 working for Herman as DC.

So apparently the entire Toledo staff will follow CMC. Makes perfect sense since an Ohio MAC team's staff will be entirely familiar with the Big XII's recruiting landscape.
Can we bring back Wayne Bolt, and Robert McFarland while we're at it?...

Seeing as Toledos 2016 recruiting class ranks about 25 spots higher than ISUs I'd say we'll be ok with them.
