Can Penn State's Pat Kraft salvage coaching search after Kalani Sitake fiasco?

from Post-Gazette Sports Network: Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more · host Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Isaiah Maldonado to react to a busy week of Penn State coaching news. This show is presented by FanDuel. Specifically, they focus on the state of the search after Kalani Sitake's reported extension with BYU that keeps him with the Cougars after he'd emerged as Penn State AD Pat Kraft's reported top choice. How much damage has this miss done to the program? Will Penn State now face a prolonged rebuilding job? Or can some of the improvement of the James Franklin era be salvaged? Putting Penn State in position to compete for Big Ten titles and College Football Playoff appearances within the next couple of years? And what should Kraft's future be in his role after apparently bungling the two-month head start on the search he'd given himself by firing Franklin midseason? Our duo tackles those questions, then possible remaining candidates including former New York Giants coach Brian Daboll, Louisville’s Jeff Brohm, interim coach Terry Smith and James Madison’s Bob Chesney.
