Five more? Why not?

With the start of the Post-Paterno Era, StateCollege.com looked this week at 10 coaches who may fit well in Beaver Stadium next season. (The first five are profiled here; the second five, profiled here.)

We've decided to add five more to our compilation. Here's our third set of five:

Green Bay Packers Assistant Coach Darren Perry

• Pros: Perry brings NFL coaching experience and defensive knowledge, and was a player in the NFL and an All-American safety while at Penn State. While in Green Bay, Perry had the privilege of being a part of the Super Bowl-winning coaching staff last season and has helped lead a strong Green Bay defense to a still-undefeated season. As reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Perry is the first coach to officially acknowledge his interest in the Penn State job.

• Cons: While there isn't any doubt Perry has been around the game, he lacks the head-coaching experience that will certainly be a factor when the final decision is made. Perry might make a great candidate for a defensive-position coach, but without experience as a coordinator, he seems to be a long-shot at best.

Tennessee Titans Coach Mike Munchak

• Pros: NFL experience, nine pro bowls and a Hall of Fame selection rank among the top of Munchak's accomplishments. Currently the first-year head coach in Tennessee, Munchak has guided the Titans to a 6-5 record. As a Penn State alum, Munchak has the name and the connections to go along with his experience.

• Cons: Unfortunatly for Munchak, pro-bowl selections don't count toward your record. While there isn't any doubt that Munchak inherited some issues in Tennessee, he, like many of the coaches on this list, has had limited time at the helm of a team. In the end, there are no real "home run" selections for Penn State. Ultimately, there are gambles, safe moves, and taking a chance on a coach you expect to do well. Munchak would be the latter of those three.

Indianapolis Colts Coach Jim Caldwell

• Pros: A Penn State alum, Jim Caldwell has had experience working with one of the best quarterbacks ever to play the game in Peyton Manning. Quarterbacks coach from 2002 to 2009, Caldwell was one of the driving forces behind Manning's career. Before coaching in Indy, Caldwell spent seven years as head coach at Wake Forest before joining Tony Dungy in Tampa Bay.

• Cons: While the loss of Peyton Manning has a lot more to do with the Colts' win-less season, Caldwell's struggles in his eight years at Wake Forest are a cause for concern. Going only 26-63 with the Deacons, Caldwell has worked with pass-heavy teams with very, very limited rushing attack. Penn State might find Caldwell to be a safe choice, but as a head coach, Caldwell has struggled on every level.

Stanford Coach David Shaw

• Pros: At the helm of an 11-1 Cardinals squad, Shaw has seen great success as a first-year head coach. Having spent time since 1998 working various offensive jobs in the NFL, Shaw is certainly far from an unseasoned coach. The 2011 Pac-Ten Coach of the Year honor is the first of what many people think will be several awards in Shaw's career. As far as academics, Shaw has helped maintain the high level of excellence that a Stanford degree comes with.

• Cons: Having been born and raised -- and still living -- on the West Coast, Shaw would have to dig himself into the East Coast recruiting grounds rather quickly. It isn't an impossible task, but something that could hinder Shaw early on. From an Xs-and-Os standpoint, many people would argue that Shaw's success has come on the back of star dual-threat quarterback Andrew Luck. Much like Peyton Manning, he runs the offense effectively and without much help. Certainly Shaw is to credit, but it is uncertain how he would perform without such an outstanding playmaker.

Washington Coach Steve Sarkisian

• Pros: With the second-highest graduation rates in the Pac10 just behind Stanford, Sarkisian offers a blend of youth, skill and academics. Sarkisian was hired in 2009 after leaving USC and has put together a 19-18 record. After the departure of quarterback Jake Locker to the NFL, while expectations were low for the Washington program, Sarkisian helped guide the Huskies to a 6-2 start before finishing 7-5. With Mike Leach headed to Washington State, this might be the time for Sarkisian to make a move.

• Cons: As with all cross-country moves, Sarkisian would struggle with recruiting early on, having no ties to the East Coast. From a public standpoint, while Sarkisian was not involved with the Penn State scandal, being on the late-2000s USC coaching staff prior to NCAA involvement carries some negative images. Penn State may not be able to afford that.
