Is Chaz Coleman Done at Tennessee? Rocco Becht & Penn State's Playoff Hopes | Pete Nakos

National college football insider Pete Nakos of On3 joins Thomas Frank Carr for his second appearance on the BWI YouTube channel — and he comes with news Penn State fans need to hear. Chaz Coleman's future at Tennessee is seriously in doubt, and Pete breaks down exactly where things stand, what Tennessee has done to try to support him, and whether there is any realistic path for Coleman to get back on a college football field in 2026. Then Pete and TFC go deep on the Penn State roster — from Rocco Becht's spring role despite his shoulder injury, to why Rocco chose Penn State over significant Big Ten and SEC interest, to the national media's growing belief that this Penn State team has real playoff potential in Year One under Matt Campbell. They also break down Penn State's two biggest regular season tests — USC and Michigan — with Pete giving his national perspective on Lincoln Riley's must-win year with the Trojans and what Kyle Whittingham brings to Ann Arbor.
