Episode Synopsis

Penn States search for a new head football coach is challenging traditional hiring timelines, as they may need to wait longer than usual to secure their top choices. The early signing period for recruits begins on December 2nd, and some potential recruits are already looking elsewhere. The dilemma for Penn State is whether to prioritize securing the ideal coach, even if it means missing out on immediate recruiting wins, or to prioritize a quick hire to fill roster spots. Historical hiring patterns in the Big Ten show a mix of both approaches, with some coaches hired as late as February. Given the lack of concrete news and the fact that many top coaching candidates are still deep into their seasons, it seems likely Penn State’s coaching search will extend into December, and possibly even January.The Daily News Now! - Every city.
