- BYU head coach Kalani Sitake has publicly addressed the recent coaching rumors linking him to Penn State, ultimately deciding to remain with the Cougars after signing a contract extension. This decision comes amidst speculation about his future and the timing of his contract amid a challenging season for BYU. Sitake's commitment was reaffirmed during an appearance on 'Wake Up Barstool'.
- Sitake's choice to stay at BYU is significant as it reflects his dedication to the program and its players, especially as the team prepares for the Big 12 championship game against Texas Tech. His leadership has been pivotal for BYU since he took over in 2016, and this extension solidifies his role moving forward.
- The decision also highlights the ongoing dynamics within college football coaching, particularly as other coaches, like Lane Kiffin, make significant moves, such as Kiffin's recent transition from Ole Miss to LSU. This period of coaching changes raises questions about stability and the future direction of programs, as schools like Penn State seek new leadership while BYU aims to maintain its current trajectory under Sitake.
