At some point in the next few days, it seems possible -- if not likely -- Penn State will name its next offensive coordinator.
On this week's edition of the Penn Stated podcast, host Donnie Collins (Scranton Times-Tribune) makes his pitch against a big-name, outside-the-program hire to esteemed co-host Sam Fremin (Citizens Voice). That begs the question: Did running backs coach Ja'Juan Seider and tight ends coach Ty Howle do enough in their role as interim coordinators to make a case the job is best kept in their hands heading into 2024?
At the very least, their work the last two games shows that complimentary and collaborative works.
Donnie and Sam also get into the all-Big Ten teams, which as usual raised a lot of questions about what voters really value when it comes to voting for players. Which host thinks free notebooks might have a big say?
And with the transfer portal set to open next week, and a slew of players already announcing intentions to enter this week, Donnie and Sam become the latest to debate the positives and negatives of a rule that continues to shake up college football.
