Matt Campbell and the Cyclones are poised to lose Roehl to Dan Campbell and the Lions.
Tyler Roehl has just completed his inaugural season in Ames as the assistant head coach and running backs coach under Matt Campbell, and it was a remarkable season for the Cyclones.
Iowa State achieved their best season ever, ending with an 11-3 record and narrowly missing out on being one of the 12 teams chosen for the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff.
Although Matt Campbell has succeeded in maintaining his staff this offseason, Dan Campbell and the Lions are allegedly preparing to target the staff and secure an assistant from the Cyclones.
Tyler Roehl, whom we thoroughly highlighted last year when the ex-North Dakota State offensive coordinator joined Eddie George as the offensive coordinator at Tennessee State (FCS), is anticipated to secure a position as an offensive assistant on the restructured staff in Detroit, per CBS Sports.
Following 11 seasons at NDSU, with five spent as the offensive coordinator, Roehl took a chance on himself and briefly accepted the position of associate head coach and offensive coordinator at Tennessee State last January for a few months before the chance to join the Iowa State staff arose.
A prior Bison star, Roehl joined the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2009 following his All American career at NDSU.

The chance with the Lions represents his initial venture into coaching in the league, but his offensive approach aligns perfectly with Campbell and Detroit, where an emphasis on toughness and physicality is highly valued.
