Description: Andy Kotelnicki has lost the locker room — and it’s time for Terry Smith to strip his play-calling duties. Zach Seyko reacts to Penn State’s offensive meltdown vs Ohio State, explains how Kotelnicki defied Smith’s personnel orders, and breaks down the latest head coaching search updates. Brent Key officially interviewed during Georgia Tech’s bye week, while Jeff Brohm, Mike Elko, and Brian Hartline remain among the top targets. Zach also discusses why Hartline’s recruiting ability and NFL pedigree continue to make him the most exciting long-term hire for Penn State.Become an every-dayer!
