After seven seasons, Ja’Juan Seider officially left the Lions for Notre Dame on Tuesday. On Wednesday night, he released a statement about his time in State College. It reads as follows:
“Dear Old State,
“These past 7 years have been nothing short of incredible. From the playoff and championship runs, to the bowl games and career seasons, these will forever be some of our family’s most cherished experiences. Coaching in front of 110k is an indescribable feeling.
“The players, staff, and community are truly some of the most special people we’ve ever known. I’m forever grateful to have had the priceless privilege of having my son on the sidelines with me for the last 6 years.
“To Coach Franklin, Pat Kraft, Vinny James, and the entire administration, thank you. Thank you for the opportunity to lead these young men, for believing in me, and allowing me to leave a small footprint in such a storied institution & football program.

“To Dr. Neely [sic] Bendapudi, thank you for your unwavering support and leadership.
“Lastly, to my Lawnboyz, I couldn’t be prouder of the room and culture we built together, both on and off of the field. Coaching you has been one of the biggest honors of my life. Keep living the standard of “high production, low maintenance.” Love you dudes for life.
“It’s been a real pleasure, Penn State.
All love here…now and forever!
