The Penn State Nittany Lions were on the sideline while several big-name college football programs hired their new head coaches this past weekend.

As more and more schools snatch up the remaining head coaching candidates, Penn State is beginning to run thin on options.

James Madison head coach Bob Chesney was identified as one of the Nittany Lions' top targets as recently as Sunday evening. But on Monday, multiple reports revealed that Chesney is expected to sign a five-year contract to become the next head coach of the UCLA Bruins after his ongoing postseason run with JMU.

Penn State can now officially cross Chesney off its list as the program continues to hunt for its next head coach.
