It looks like Penn State baseball coach Rob Cooper will be sticking around for a bit longer.
Cooper will reportedly receive an extension from Penn State, according to D1 Baseball co-managing editor Kendall Rogers. Terms of the contract weren’t available when Rogers tweeted the news. Penn State baseball sports information director Mark Brumbaugh said he was unable to confirm the report.
COACHING SCOOP: @PennStateBASE will extend Rob Cooper’s contract as the head man for the Nittany Lions. Coop recently finished his sixth season with the program. Terms/years on the contract extension are TBD at the moment. #B1G#PennState
The extension would be a big vote of confidence for Cooper, who is coming off his sixth season as the Nittany Lions’ skipper. He led his team to a 22-27 finish, its best mark since 2016, his only season with a winning record. Cooper is 129-187 overall as head coach.
