TOLEDO, OH – Jason Candle has been named head football coach at the University of Toledo, vice-president and athletic director Mike O'Brien announced today. Candle, who previously served as UT's associate head coach/offensive coordinator, replaces Matt Campbell, who resigned his post on Sunday after four seasons as the Rockets' leader to become the head coach at Iowa State University. Candle becomes the 27th head football coach in the 95-year history of Toledo football.
"We are very pleased that Jason Candle has agreed to become the head football coach at the University of Toledo," said UT Athletic Director Mike O'Brien. "Jason has done a terrific job in his seven years with the Rockets, first as our receivers coach, then as our offensive coordinator. During that time, our offenses have been among the best in the Mid-American Conference, and in some cases, the entire country.
"I have also been very impressed with Jason as an individual and as a leader of young men. After careful consideration, I came to the conclusion that he is the best person to lead this program going forward. His hiring brings us consistency as we look forward to a bowl game later this month, and also going forward as we compete for MAC championships in the years to come. Our football program is in capable hands. We are very excited for the future of Rocket Football under Jason's guidance."
