At this point, a head coach in college football must feel offended if they haven’t been contacted by Penn State.<\/p>\n
Another one declined the opportunity to lead the Nittany Lions, with Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde<\/a> reporting Louisville’s Jeff Brohm “turned down overtures from Penn State.”<\/p>\n Brohm is expected to sign an extension with the Cardinals.<\/p>\n The 54-year-old is a Louisville native who remained home to attend college. He could plausibly spend the rest of his coaching career there.<\/p>\n Still, it doesn’t look great for Penn State when the head coach at Louisville leaves the Nittany Lions on read.<\/p>\n This comes after Kalani Sitake came to a similar conclusion<\/a> and wanted to remain at BYU. Sitake wouldn’t have been fans’ first choice, but he has made the Cougars a consistent winner and might’ve done the same in Happy Valley.<\/p>\n Other prospective candidates have fallen off the board for one reason or another.<\/p>\n Bob Chesney cashed in his stock from a strong two-year run at James Madison to take the UCLA job. Jon Sumrall stayed in the Southeast and is on his way to Florida. South Florida just hired<\/a> Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian Hartline. Nebraska’s Matt Rhule and Indiana’s Curt Cignetti signed extensions. <\/p>\n This coaching search couldn’t be unfolding in a more embarrassing manner for Penn State.<\/p>\n
