Terry Smith replaced James Franklin when he was fired.
Now, Smith is back to his old roles, where some things have changed with the new staff adjusting.
“Everyone in the building knows that I’m the associate head coach. Under James, that wasn’t clear.”

Thanks to health issues, my freshman year didn’t go as planned — I considered transferring.
I’m glad I didn’t, as I wouldn’t trade the four years at Penn State and the Collegian for anything.
My 1190th and final byline for a paper that changed my life.

In reference to Dwight Schrute, Dan Connor’s X bio says "Assistant to the LB coach.”
While Connor is no longer the lead LB coach, the impact of Penn State’s all-time tackles leader is still being felt.
“He loves Penn State football, what it did for him.”

Through spring ball, its been Carson Hansen, James Peoples and Quinton Martin Jr. making their case.
“That's going to be great competition all the way through fall camp."

They’ve also built a great bond, and are embracing the history at the position.
“We'll work really hard to continue that lineage of success here.”
