New Penn State offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki and defensive coordinator Tom Allen are encouraged by the progress they've seen during spring drills. Kotelnicki is the sixth different offensive coordinator hired by James Franklin in his 11 seasons on the job.
FILE - Indiana head coach Tom Allen gestures during the second half of an NCAA college football game against Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind., Saturday, Nov. 25, 2023. Allen, in his first year as Penn State’s defensive coordinator, says he’s been encouraged by the physicality he’s seen during spring drills. Penn State wrapped up spring practice on Saturday, April 13, 2024, with its annual Blue/White scrimmage.
Kotelnicki is the sixth offensive coordinator in head coach James Franklin’s 11 seasons at Penn State. At Kansas, Kotelnicki was part of a staff that directed a turnaround of what was the worst football program in Power Five for more than a decade.For the last month, the new coordinators have been busy getting their first hands-on experience with a talented roster that returns most of its skill and experience from last season.USC remains silent on O.J.
Former Buckeye wideout Julian Fleming joins KeAndre Lambert-Smith and tight end Tyler Warren to form what Allar believes could be a dangerous set of downfield targets. Lambert-Smith led Penn State in yards and receptions last year while Warren, perhaps the team’s most versatile player, led the team with seven touchdown receptions.
Allen has enjoyed the lighter workload as a coordinator. It’s allowed him to get back to his coaching roots.
