Penn State football might close in on a deal with Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell, but it has yet to be made official. According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, both parties — the Nittany Lions and Campbell — were still in discussion shortly after 5 p.m. ET on Friday, Dec. 5.
Thamel then provided an update at 6:48 p.m., reporting that the Cyclones are holding a team meeting at 8 p.m. ET. Still, it is not confirmed that Campbell is the next Penn State head coach.
The update of a meeting occurring is intriguing for Nittany Lions fans, yet still ominous.
