Penn State head coaching search is silent as latest candidate lands at UCLA

The slow song just came, and everybody is partnering up, but Penn State is still alone in the corner, hoping Mr. Perfect arrives. If athletic director Pat Kraft doesn’t act soon, though, he’ll have to settle for Mr. Perfectly Fine.

The latest head coach to find his landing spot this offseason was one of Penn State’s presumed top targets, James Madison head coach Bob Chesney. With the Dukes on the verge of a Sun Belt Championship after an 11-1 regular season in his second year since taking over for Curt Cignetti, Chesney is reportedly heading to UCLA to become the next head coach of the Bruins.
