REPORT: Shrewsberry Emerges As A “Primary Candidate” For Notre Dame Job

Following up on last week’s Jon Rothstein report that Penn State is expected to offer Micah Shrewsberry a “lucrative” extension, Rothstein is now reporting that the Nittany Lions will have to fend off the Fighting Irish to keep Shrewsberry’s services

Sources: Penn State's Micah Shrewsberry has emerged as a primary candidate for the head coaching vacancy at Notre Dame.

Shrewsberry is also expected to receive a lucrative, long-term offer to remain with the Nittany Lions.— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) March 21, 2023

The wording here is important — “a” primary candidate versus “the” primary candidate should be a relatively good sign that this isn’t a “when not if” situation.
