Amanda Lehotak's resignation as Penn State head coach took many by surprise on Monday afternoon. Despite a less-than-stellar track record during her seven years leading the Nittany Lions, Lehotak seemed to be firmly entrenched in Happy Valley.

The Nittany Lions had just two winning seasons under Lehotak, and reached double-digit wins in conference play just once during her tenure. When the 2020 season ended, the Nittany Lions were 11-15 on the year and sported a 3.38 team ERA.
