Dana Holgorsen is a veteran when it comes to being in the middle of head coaching searches.<\/p>\n
After a number of assistant positions, Holgorsen went to West Virginia, initially as the coach-in-waiting before taking over immediately.

On Tuesday, he was asked about how Matt Rhule, who is one of the most talked about potential replacements for James Franklin at Penn State, has handled the last 48 hours.<\/p>\n
“He’s a pro at it,” Holgorsen said. “It’s just part of the profession.”<\/p>\n
Holgorsen added that the coaching staff and the team are focused on the task at hand, which isn’t whether or not a coach is up for another job.<\/p>\n
“Our job\u2014he feels the same way\u2014our job is Friday night, trying to get our team ready to go play Minnesota,” Holgorsen said. “If you’re thinking about anything else other than that, you’re doing your team a disservice. I promise you, he’s not.”<\/p>\n
