Penn Stated: Talking Penn State Football with Donnie Collins
Penn Stated: Talking Penn State Football with Donnie Collins
The most important coordinator Penn State could get
You may have heard, Penn State is in the market for an offensive coordinator. But, the most important coordinator to this team in 2024 is one that already is on the sidelines.
On this week's episode of the Penn Stated podcast, hosts Donnie Collins (The Scranton Times-Tribune) and Sam Fremin (Citizens Voice) discuss both the contributions of defensive coordinator Manny Diaz over his two seasons with the program, and what keeping him around would mean for the future.
Do either think Diaz would consider leaving Penn State to take another defensive coordinator's job somewhere else?
On the Thanksgiving edition of the podcast, Donnie and Sam also discuss the quarterback situation, where Beau Pribula's running ability added a different dimension to the offense once starter Drew Allar left the Rutgers game with an injury last Saturday. They discuss whether a case could be made that Penn State should go with a two-quarterback system, or whether sticking it out with Allar is the best way to go for the future.
Plus, what is Sam's favorite Thanksgiving meal? Since James Franklin never asked, it's time to get that information out there.
