UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State has avoided losing another key member of its coaching staff.
At least for now, anyway.
Several reports Thursday had Brent Pry, the Nittany Lions’ defensive coordinator for the past two years, emerging as the apparent choice to take over as head coach at Louisiana-Lafayette.
Friday, however, Arizona State offensive coordinator Billy Napier reportedly was poised to take the job.
Pry, who was defensive coordinator and linebackers coach for the Ragin’ Cajuns 2002-06, did not deny speaking with Louisiana-Lafayette officials about the position, but stressed Friday that he plans to be on Penn State’s staff for the Fiesta Bowl game against Washington Dec.
