Mike Elko's name was always going to come up in the Penn State head coaching search, but Aggie fans need not worry.

The former Penn State head coach ended his tenure with three losses. The first was to then-ranked No. 6 Oregon 30-24 in double overtime. The next was to unranked UCLA by a score of 42-37 as a 24.5-point favorite on ESPN BET. The loss to Northwestern was the final straw.

Heather Dinich isn’t suggesting any of the coaches she mentions are candidates for the Penn State job, the ESPN expert is simply saying the Nittany Lions are in a position to wait and ask some heavy hitters if they are open to the idea.
