We’re still hunting for the perfect head football coach, folks.

Since former football head coach James Franklin was fired in October, the biggest and most frequently asked question has been, “Who will be the next head coach for the Nittany Lions?” Over the last month, there has been chatter over potential candidates for the position, but nothing has been decided.

Finding the next leader for the Nittany Lions takes time and effort. However, I think we all have someone in mind who could take charge and lead us to a national championship. Whether it’s a big-time football coach or someone with good leadership skills, we want to hear your opinion on who the new football coach should be.

Have the perfect candidate for the position in mind? Use the form below to tell us your ideas and why you feel this way. Who knows, we might be closer to finding our new head coach than we think.
