Newly hired Penn State assistant spoke for the first time since being named Nittany Lions running backs coach.

Well, hey there, Penn State football fans. It’s been a little bit since we chatted. The PSU news never stops coming, right? Let’s turn to the latest bit of news: Ja’Juan Seider (Notre Dame) is out, and Stan Drayton is James Franklin’s new running backs coach.

Stan Drayton went 9-25 in three years at Temple before getting fired last November with two games left in the season.

Former Temple head football coach Stan Drayton reportedly will replace Ja’Juan Seider as Penn State running backs coach. Pete Thamel of ESPN reported Friday that the 53-year-old Drayton had signed a multi-year deal to join the Nittany Lions staff. Other outlets, though, reported that he will sign a one-year contract.

Penn State's search for a new running backs coach is officially over. Penn State has announced the hiring of Stan Drayton to fill the vacancy on James Franklin's coaching staff. Drayton comes to Penn State after spending the last three seasons as head coach of Temple.

The Nittany Lions welcomed former Temple head coach Stan Drayton on Friday evening. ESPN’s Pete Thamel first reported the move earlier in the day.

The Nittany Lions are set to hire Stan Drayton to fill the position, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Drayton was most recently the head coach at Temple, but was fired in November during his third season leading the program. He amassed a 9-25 record in his time with the Owls.
