Penn State and Matt Campbell reportedly came to an agreement earlier tonight, with the now former Iowa State head coach headed to Happy Valley on an eight-year deal. The first order of business for Campbell if you asked ANY Penn State fan was: ask and/or beg Terry Smith to stay at Penn State.

Penn State football interim head coach Terry Smith will remain with the program as a member of Matt Campbell’s staff, according to multiple reports. Smith was named the interim head coach on October 12 after James Franklin was fired amid a three-game losing streak.

Terry Smith, the Nittany Lions’ beloved assistant turned interim coach, is expected to remain at Penn State on Matt Campbel l’s staff, according to multiple reports Friday night. Audrey Snyder of Inside The Lions first reported the news.

There is a real possibility Penn State interim head coach Terry Smith could have some options to consider that do not include Penn State.

Penn State interim head coach Terry Smith is reportedly garnering support for a promotion. According to Pete Nakos of On3.com, "top-level Penn State donors are pushing" for athletic director Pat Kraft to promote Smith to the full-time head coaching position.

The 56-year-old coach is a Penn State alum who has been an assistant with the Nittany Lions since 2014. After a brief professional career, the former wide receiver coached high school teams from 1996 until 2012. Temple hired him as its wide receivers coach in 2013. A year later, his alma mater came calling.

Terry Smith isn't going anywhere. According to multiple reports, Penn State's interim head coach is expected to remain on staff under newly hired head coach Matt Campbell, though it's unclear what his role will be.

This might be the last game Smith is in his current position, but experience has shown him that he's built for the responsibility.

Terry Smith, who has served as interim coach since Oct. 12, will coach Penn State in the game. He has agreed to remain on the staff under new coach Matt Campbell, who will be introduced Monday. Clemson, Duke, Louisville and Pitt are among the possible opponents from the ACC.

Nearly two months after firing James Franklin, Penn State's coaching search has evolved into one of the most chaotic hiring processes in program history. During that time, the landscape has shifted dramatically.
