Ricky Rahne will be the next head coach at Old Dominion, sources told FootballScoop on Monday. 

The team will be informed of the hire on Monday afternoon, sources say.  A formal announcement will come on Monday evening. 

Rahne is currently the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Penn State, a job he has held since 2018.  Rahne has been on James Franklin’s staff in State College since 2014, and prior to that coached quarterbacks at Vanderbilt from 2011-13. 

Rahne will be the second head coach in ODU history, following founding head coach Bobby Wilder, who stepped down after 12 years with the program earlier this month. 

I want to thank @RickyRahne for everything he has done for me these past few years.  Not only is he a great coach, but has been a great mentor to myself and my teammates.  I will miss ya coach!  @ODUFootball is getting a great one!  Much love✊ #WeAre pic.twitter.com/1mHvsolGdH — Sean Clifford (@seancliff14) December 9, 2019

Old Dominion just got the smartest, most determined, cool, calm and collective coach in the entire country.  So happy for him, wouldn’t be where I am today without @RickyRahne and now I am officially a Monarch fan.  Get ready to WIN NOW!  https://t.co/Q0MMQQ9LDp — Mike Gesicki (@mikegesicki) December 9, 2019
