BYU football coach Kalani Sitake is the focus of Penn State's head-coaching search, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel, confirming a report by On3.
The sides have met and there is mutual interest, but no deal has been signed and there are still steps that need to happen before one comes together.
The sides have had discussions about staffing and other details of what Sitake's tenure in State College would look like.
Sitake has stressed this week his focus is on Saturday's Big 12 championship game against Texas Tech.
BYU, No. 11 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings, is 11-1, its lone loss coming against the Red Raiders.
