Tennessee coach Josh Heupel<\/a> could be a candidate for the Penn State head coaching job.<\/p>\n

After the SEC\u2019s flurry of hires on Sunday, Penn State has arguably the best remaining coaching vacancy of any team in the country. The Nittany Lions are looking for a full-time replacement after firing James Franklin earlier this season. <\/p>\n

While there haven\u2019t been any concrete reports linking Heupel to Happy Valley, prediction markets such as Kalshi<\/a> have the Vols\u2019 head coach as one of the top candidates for the job. <\/p>\n

As of publication, Heupel is priced at 18 cents per contract to be the next head coach at Penn State. Contracts on correct predictions pay out at a rate of $1 per contract, meaning Heupel is roughly 5-to-1 to get the Penn State job according to the latest market prices on Kalshi. <\/p>\n

Of course, those markets are volatile and subject to change. Former Alabama<\/a> offensive coordinator and ex-New York Giants coach Brian Daboll is currently a leading candidate, as is BYU coach Kalani Sitake. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a live look at the top contenders on Kalshi for the Penn State job:<\/p>\n

Heupel has been at Tennessee<\/a> since 2021 and has helped the Vols to their best extended period of success since the Phillip Fulmer era. Tennessee won just 8 games in 2025, but the Vols won an average of 10 games per year from 2022-24. <\/p>\n

There is no known timetable for Penn State to make a final decision on its next head coach. <\/p>\n
