Penn State coaching search: Is Matt Rhule still an option? James Franklin goes to Virginia Tech?
Description
On their weekly Penn State football podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany LIons insider Isaiah Maldonado take stock of the Penn State coaching search with a primetime game against coach Matt Rhule and Nebraska looming this week.
Is Rhule still a live option to return to his alma mater? Despite an extension signed with the Cornhuskers within the last few weeks, and a lousy career record against nationally ranked competition? Will James Franklin potentially cause problems for whomever is the next Penn State coach now that his hiring at Virginia Tech is official? Is Terry Smith forcing his way into the conversation with the team's improved play and his emotional investment in the program that went viral this week? And where do names like Kalen DeBoer and Brian Daboll fit into the conversation?
Our duo tackles those topics, plus the game this week. Should Penn State be favored so heavily at home? Will Dani Dennis-Sutton, Ethan Grunkemeyer, Zakee Wheatley and the Lions still be motivated after delivering Smith's first win? And how good are Kaytron Allen's chances to break Evan Royster's career rushing record?
