San Jose State University is in the process of selecting a new head football coach to replace Brent Brennan. Ken Niumatalolo, the former Navy head coach, is the primary candidate for the position. Niumatalolo, who has a 109-83 record in 15 seasons at Navy, is expected to be hired by San Jose State. The hiring process is reportedly nearing completion, with a 5-year deal through the 2028 season being finalized. Niumatalolo has stated he won't run the triple option, which was his staple at Navy. This news comes after star quarterback Noah Fifita and wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan affirmed their commitment to Arizona, following Jedd Fisch's departure as head coach.
