Penn State Has a New Favorite to Become its Next Football Coach

Our Summary

Penn State is actively searching for a new head football coach, with Louisville's Jeff Brohm currently leading the race according to Kalshi's trading data. Brohm has a 20% chance of being hired, slightly ahead of former Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald and Missouri's Eliah Drinkwitz, both at 19%. This speculative market is highly volatile, reflecting media reports and rumors.

Brohm, in his third season at Louisville, has led the team to a 7-1 record and a No. 14 ranking in the AP Top 25. His prior success includes leading Western Kentucky to consecutive Conference USA titles and achieving three winning seasons at Purdue. His offensive strategy is seen as a potential asset for Penn State.

Other notable candidates include Ohio State's offensive coordinator Brian Hartline, Duke head coach Manny Diaz, and Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell. Missouri's Drinkwitz is also attracting attention for the Penn State role, though he has a higher likelihood of moving to Florida. Texas A&M's
