Terry Smith 12-26 by Phil Kornblut, Chris Burgin, and Josh Cohen
On their weekly Penn State football podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Isaiah Maldonado discuss the big topics surrounding the Pinstripe Bowl matchup with Clemson. This show is presented by FanDuel. How important is a victory against a peer program for interim coach Terry Smith and incoming coach Matt Campbell as they look to rebuild from James Franklin's firing? Is this an audition game for QB Ethan Grunkemeyer with 2026 starting candidates including Rocco Becht and Beau Pribula in the transfer portal? Is it surprising that Kaytron Allen has not opted out of the game to prepare for the NFL as teammate Nick Singleton has? And what should we make of the relative lack of opt-outs and transfer portal defections for this game beyond names like Zane Durant, Zakee Wheatley, Chaz Coleman and Elliott Washington? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
Host King Jemison welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise to talk about Penn State football and the direction of the program under new coach Matt Campbell. What are Paul's thoughts on the hire in general and the state of the program? Has Campbell done well to settle the ship after the midseason firing of James Franklin? Did AD Pat Kraft and the Penn State administration bungle the search by not having a concrete plan in place? Did they luck into Campbell? Will Campbell be held to the extremely high standards Franklin was? And how important was it to keep Terry Smith on the staff as an assistant, or was that more ceremonial to reward him for the job he did as interim head coach? Our duo tackles those topics and more.

Terry Smith 12-18 by Phil Kornblut, Chris Burgin, and Josh Cohen
Welcome back to Hardcore Penn State Football, your ultimate source for in-depth analysis, insider scoops, and passionate discussions on all things Nittany Lions! In this blockbuster episode, hosts Shawn Kane & Cory Lestochi dive headfirst into the seismic shifts rocking Happy Valley as we transition into a new chapter of Penn State football. With the 2025 season wrapping up and massive changes on the horizon, we're breaking down the hiring of Matt Campbell, staff overhauls, key retentions, aggressive recruiting moves, and the ironic Pinstripe Bowl matchup against Clemson. Whether you're a die-hard alum or a casual fan, this episode is packed with insights, hot takes, and what it all means for PSU's future in the Big Ten and beyond. We kick things off with the bombshell news that's sent shockwaves through college football – Penn State's bold move to bring in Matt Campbell from Iowa State as the new head coach. After a tumultuous end to the James Franklin era, Campbell's proven track record of building gritty, resilient programs (hello, Cyclones upsets!) makes him the perfect fit for PSU's blue-collar ethos. We discuss his coaching philosophy, why he left Ames, his contract details (rumored 8-year deal with heavy incentives), and how his emphasis on player development and innovative schemes could elevate the Nittany Lions back to national contention. Is this the hire that finally delivers a playoff breakthrough? Our hosts debate the pros, cons, and fan reactions from social media. No head coach succeeds alone, and Campbell is wasting no time assembling his dream team. We break down the early hires and pursuits for assistant coaches and support staff, including defensive coordinator candidates. Highlights include rumors of poaching key Iowa State assistants, targeting well-known people personnel for recruiting roles, and bolstering the strength and conditioning program. Plus, we speculate on budget implications and how this staff could mesh with existing talent. In a massive win for continuity, Penn State retains cornerbacks coach and recruiting guru Terry Smith! Smith's loyalty amid the coaching change is a game-changer. We explore why he chose to stay (hint: deep ties to the program and Campbell's vision), his impact on developing elite secondaries (think Joey Porter Jr.), and how his recruiting prowess in the PA region will be crucial moving forward. With Campbell at the helm, Penn State's recruiting machine is revving up. We detail the early targets in the 2026 and 2027 classes, focusing on blue-chip prospects from Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the Midwest – including top-ranked QBs, edge rushers, and offensive linemen who've already received offers. Our hosts discuss Campbell's "must-fit" pitch and how it differentiates from the previous regime. Then, we shift to the Transfer Portal frenzy: Who's on the radar? How do they fit within Campbell's system? We also touch on de-commitments from the Franklin era and how PSU plans to flip them back. Wrapping up the 2025 season with a bang – Penn State takes on Clemson in the iconic Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium! Multiple Penn State stars have already opted out: DT Zane Durant, S Zakee Wheatley, and RB Nick Singleton. How will Matt Campbell handle the bowl practices? OC Andy Kotelnicki plans to call plays for the game, and DBs coach, Anthony Pointdexter will replace former DC Jim Knowles (who left for Tennessee).

Host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Isaiah Maldonado to react to Penn State's decision to keep interim coach Terry Smith on new head coach Matt Campbell's coaching staff following the latter's hiring over the weekend. This show is presented by FanDuel. Was keeping Smith the right call? Both in terms of healing wounds from James Franklin's firing with players? And with fans who've wanted to see Joe Paterno's legacy further centered in the program? Or could the move set the stage for future division inside and outside the program? Especially if and when Campbell hits a rough patch? And what should we make of Campbell's reported choice to bring Jon Heacock with him from Iowa State as defensive coordinator? Presumably displacing Jim Knowles and his expensive contract? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders the matchup with Clemson in the Pinstripe Bowl and the possible opt-outs of prominent names including Zane Durant, Dani Dennis-Sutton, Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton.

Host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Isaiah Maldonado to react to a busy week of Penn State coaching news. This show is presented by FanDuel. Specifically, they focus on the state of the search after Kalani Sitake's reported extension with BYU that keeps him with the Cougars after he'd emerged as Penn State AD Pat Kraft's reported top choice. How much damage has this miss done to the program? Will Penn State now face a prolonged rebuilding job? Or can some of the improvement of the James Franklin era be salvaged? Putting Penn State in position to compete for Big Ten titles and College Football Playoff appearances within the next couple of years? And what should Kraft's future be in his role after apparently bungling the two-month head start on the search he'd given himself by firing Franklin midseason? Our duo tackles those questions, then possible remaining candidates including former New York Giants coach Brian Daboll, Louisville's Jeff Brohm, interim coach Terry Smith and James Madison's Bob Chesney.

On their weekly Penn State football podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Isaiah Maldonando tackle the latest buzz from the coaching search to replace James Franklin. This show is presented by FanDuel. Does interim coach Terry Smith have momentum after the home win against Nebraska? With many players and fans vocally supporting him? Why is there so much buzz around James Madison's Bob Chesney? Would he really be an upgrade on Franklin? And why do the rumors around Alabama's Kalen DeBoer not seem to be going away? Is there real smoke there? Or are Penn State fans wishcasting for a plausible big name to take over? Our duo tackles those questions; Franklin's arrival at Virginia Tech and his early recruiting win against Penn State with four-star prospect Messiah Mickens; Ethan Grunkemeyer's growth at QB; the regular season finale at Rutgers; and Nick Singleton's pursuit of the program touchdown record.

The episode of Monday Night Therapy opens with Minnie and Fred reacting to Nebraska's demoralizing loss to Penn State and shifting attention toward rivalry week against Iowa. Minnie describes watching the game at a packed Husker bar in Scottsdale, where early optimism evaporated after Nebraska failed on a key fourth down and Penn State marched 98 yards for a touchdown. Both hosts express deep frustration with Nebraska's predictable collapse, conservative coaching, and poor line play, noting the defense was overwhelmed despite strong performances from the secondary. They discuss Penn State's emotional surge under interim coach Terry Smith and contrast it with Nebraska's lack of cohesion and confidence following Dylan Raiola's injury. While some fans walked away early, both Minnie and Fred stayed engaged—though reluctantly—to analyze what went wrong. The hosts debate whether Nebraska's youth, coaching, or physical deficits are the primary issue and lament recurring mistakes reminiscent of past regimes. Looking ahead to the Iowa game, Minnie insists Nebraska can win if players show maximum effort, while Fred remains skeptical, citing Iowa's disciplined, basic style that often punishes Nebraska's errors. They close with humor, Iowa-hate, Vegas line talk, and a plea for Nebraska to rise to the rivalry moment.

Richard leads Alex and Rodger through a broad overview of the state of play six days before “Black Sunday,” starting with the Lane Kiffin extended universe and moving outward from there. Among the topics discussed here:* The media apparatus behind Lane Kiffin and Jimmy Sexton's moves, plus Rodger's grand idea to finally reveal what's happening* Why you shouldn't trust anyone claiming to know for sure what Kiffin is doing, and why you shouldn't read too much into his slow process pointing him toward one school or another* Auburn has a clear plan in mind and has been focused on it for weeks.
