Penn State is set to hire Kansas offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki for the same role, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Kotelnicki has played a key role in Kansas' turnaround under coach Lance Leipold, who he also worked for at Buffalo and Wisconsin-Whitewater. He will replace Mike Yurcich, fired by Penn State on Nov. 12 following the team's 24-15 home loss to Ohio State.

The Athletic first reported Penn State's expected hire of Kotelnicki, who also generated some interest for head-coaching jobs this season, sources said.

Kansas on Thursday promoted quarterbacks coach Jim Zebrowski to co-offensive coordinator, although the team is still expected to hire a new play-caller, according to a source.
