I agree. Campbell is not to blame for losing the 2026 class, Kraft is. Also, it isn't Campbell's fault that PSU is not a top NIL player at the moment. He's dealing with the same financial limitations that Franklin did. That's why the recruiting is similar.
Seems that way.
Notre Dame recruits players who PS offer they've been doing that since Marcus started coaching. Somebody has to sit, those who do
Sandy wanted to build a whole new stadium for a billion or more, were would NIL be if that would have happened ?
AGUTTBGJBCA - Almost got us to the Big Game James But Choked Againand equal concern that Franklin might as well! I think at issue is how each individual here defines success. If we follow the leader, Pat Kraft, he promised that the next coach will bring "excellence at the highest level," and the NC "we" the fans, deserve. I want to personally thank him for this.
Some clearly have settled for success as having a coach not JF .
Others say the record will be similar, but with big wins (think that through LOL)
The truth is that it will be an uphill battle to overtake OSU and Oregon without a bigger wallet.
Will we someday miss GUTTBGJ? (got us to the big game James).
I agree....of all the names you mention...Campbell and Chesney were at the top of my list. I will say that after listening to both men, Campbell seems more sincere and real. Chesney comes across like a car salesman at times.
I get that sense too. It’s a real risk blowing so much budget on an elite 5-star high school kid just to see him transfer, get hurt, or pull a Chaz Coleman. Campbell’s strategy seems to be finding deals so he can fill out the rest of the team.
What LB did we get that you are referring to? Bacon?
Oh no! Sean Fitz! We are doomed, he of all those prior coaching wins during his coaching days. Give me a break
You can be concerned all you want. But my concern will only be raised if the product on the field doesn't yield wins.
Possible. You can't make chicken salad without one key ingredient. To compete for titles, PSU needs that edge or DL that's unblockable and that wide out that beats double teams. Ohio State has them. We need them. Unfortunately, in what is now AAA pro football they come with a cost. PSU will not sustain "excellence at the highest level" with any sort of consistency without those game changers.
We aren't looking for someone to marry. Sincere is a good quality in a mate or even a friend. I've never met an elite athlete or successful coach that doesn't have some swagger. In addition, as fans, we see what persona a public person wishes to reveal.
If the level of talent isn’t better here than it was at Iowa State, it will be tough to win in this league. The B1G is a much different animal than the Big 12.
He’s been a PSU recruiting insider for years. Blow it off all you want. It was also a reference to LMTLION, whom, I was having the conversation with, about his previous chastisement of me not watching podcasts and subscribing to paywall info to get the inside scoop. He seems to have conveniently ignored that podcast.
This will be a problem for an AD that made some pretty large promises. Bet he'd like to retract that nonsense.
and conversely, some see "up" in everything. Like we don't need 5 stars, we coach them "up."
There is a limit on how much those wealthy donors are willing to give. Money going to one purpose isn't going to another.
Reports have Adidas paying Tennessee $20 million a year, and they have a pretty good basketball team (two in most years). Why does PSU get more? Don't know. Folks in Herzogenaurauch are probably asking the same questioin.
Absolutely. Ever listen to their press conferences? They don't suffer fools.Are you referring to the swagger that Saban and Belichik have?
