I mentioned Dan Earl and his involvement at Chattanooga in the DAILY DIRT on Monday. Now, according to Jeff Borzello, this move seems to be done.

Chattanooga AD Wharton spent 25 years at Penn State prior to his time with the Mocs. Earl is former All-Big Ten player at Penn State, who spent 2006-11 as an assistant there.

Earl went 73–138 (.346) during his time at VMI, including 34–88 (.279) in the SoCon. He has also been an assistant at Navy in addition to his time at Penn State.

Earl would replace Lamont Paris, who became the head coach at South Carolina a few weeks ago.

More on this when it becomes official.
