Episode Synopsis

Jimmy Sextons Influence: Penn States Coaching Search - This college football season, Penn States coaching search is being impacted by top agent Jimmy Sexton, who represents many high-profile coaches. Sextons client, James Franklin, was let go from Penn State and quickly found a new job at Virginia Tech. Penn State is still searching for a replacement, while other schools have already filled their vacancies. Former ESPN insider Todd McShay suggests Sexton might be intentionally making things difficult for Penn State as a form of payback for how Franklins departure was handled. Sextons influence is also reportedly steering his clients away from Penn State, such as James Madison head coach Bob Chesney, who took the UCLA job after alleged interest from Penn State. Penn States attention has turned to BYU head coach Kalani Sitake, but BYU is working hard to keep him, potentially leaving Penn State facing challenges in finding an established coach for the position.The Daily News Now! - Every city.
