Penn State remains in search of their next head coach after firing James Franklin. As programs like LSU, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Michigan State, UCLA and Kentucky have quickly tabbed their next head coach following the end of the regular season, Penn State has lagged somewhat behind despite parting ways with Franklin back in October.
Now, Penn State appears to narrowing in on a candidate to fill their coaching vacancy—BYU head coach Kalani Sitake. According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Penn State is focusing on Sitake in their coaching search, but a deal has not been signed yet. Thamel noted that the two sides have discussed staffing and what it would look like for Sitake to come to Happy Valley.
