Penn State Head Coaching Search Update: Who is in? Who is out? Details on the #1 Target
JR brings on Chris for the weekly Penn State head coaching search update on The Big Ten Huddle. The top 4 candidates have solidified:
Tier 1 (Preferred): Mike Elko (Texas A&M – no extension signed), Kalen DeBoer (Alabama – mutual interest despite success)
Tier 2 (Strong Backups): Eli Drinkwitz (Missouri), Brent Key (Georgia Tech – rising fast)
Key Intel:
- Elko remains Penn State’s #1 target
- DeBoer unhappy in Tuscaloosa? Boosters already frustrated
- Big weekend phone call excited Pat Kraft
- Playoff runs complicate timing – early December target
- Possible binding contract before season ends?
Actions speak louder than words – watch who signs extensions (or doesn’t).
