I asked him about Candle, since he took over for Campbell at Toledo, and he said he doubts that Candle would be very interested. Said Candle has told a bunch of people he's really happy at Toledo and likes the advantages they have in the MAC.
Matt Campbell was my first choice in 2017 when Mullen left. Of course Cohen probably had no idea who he was or had him on his radar. Penn State hit a homerun if this is true after their search appeared to be a big mess. The question will be whether or not Penn State can be patient enough for him to install his system. I have heard the same thing about Candle. He is a rarity in college football these days as he is happy at Toledo and does not seem to have any interest in coaching in the Power 4. He is from Ohio and has no desire to leave. Not saying he never would leave, but I think he has the ability to be very picky because he knows he can continue to win at Toledo.
