Penn State’s coaching search looks set to continue.
According to multiple reports, BYU coach Kalani Sitake is expected to stay with the Cougars. Penn State had reportedly been pursuing Sitake in recent days as the Nittany Lions are still looking for a head coach.

No. 11 BYU is 11-1 this season and will play Texas Tech on Saturday for the Big 12 title and a spot in the College Football Playoff. The No. 5 Red Raiders are the only team to beat the Cougars this season.
Sitake has been at BYU since 2016 and the school is 83-46 in his tenure. BYU has had just two losing seasons during his time in charge and has won at least 10 games in four of the past six seasons.
A season ago, BYU went 11-2 and beat Colorado in the Alamo Bowl. The Cougars tied for first in the Big 12 but missed out on a spot in the conference title game due to tiebreakers.
Since going 2-7 in conference play during its first season in the Big 12 in 2023, BYU has gone 15-3.
