The Penn State Nittany Lions are expected to consider hiring former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll before 2026.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll reportedly threatened to strip Mike Kafka of play-calling duties again.

Speaking recently to Fox News, the former Giants quarterback — who is currently enjoying a career revival with the 8-2 Colts — said he believes his successor in New York will “be all right” as he navigates a new normal without head coach Brian Daboll, who was fired Monday after three-and-a-half seasons at the helm.

Another name to know is former Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald, who we hear has some strong supporters in Happy Valley. Fitzgerald was fired after an investigation found hazing in his program, but he recently settled a $130 million wrongful termination lawsuit with the school.
