Is he the Tulane coach?If Cignetti is not possible, I would put Jon Sumrall in our top 5. I think he is lightning in the bottle potential like Cignetti was for Indiana but at 20 years younger. He will be coaching for a p4 school next year.

Plus he has Mark Cuban money. Good luck trying to match thatThis was the big discussion on XM as I drove home from State College today. Cignetti is making $8.3 million at Indiana this year. Can PSU afford the $56 million to Franklin PLUS pay Cignetti the $10-12 million/year he would command in the coaching market right now? Not likely. Could Florida do it? Maybe? Could FSU? Maybe? But does Cignetti want to start over again at a more high profile school at 64 years old? Or does he want to make the most of his time at Indiana and probably get a raise from them for next year? The overall thought is that he stays at Indiana.
Look up his record vs good teams in his career...I agree that Matt Rhule would need some time but he is a much better head coach than he’s being given credit for and other than a 3 point loss to Michigan he has Nebraska playing hard. With a couple of lucky rolls he could get Nebraska to win 10, potentially 11 games and that means playoffs. Yeah he may be a slightly weaker recruiter than Franklin but he is a profoundly better game day coach. JMHO
Yes, he is--Sumrall has to be at the top of our listIs he the Tulane coach?
If only the Pirates had Mark Cuban money.Plus he has Mark Cuban money. Good luck trying to match that
I know right? It's a shame that cheapskate Bob just wants to hang on and dwell in the cellar. Mark would turn that aroundIf only the Pirates had Mark Cuban money.![]()
Nebraska coordinators
Dana Holgerson - offense
John Butler - defense
yeah, THAT John butler.
And if we don't hire Bielema then HELL YEAH. AT LEAST WE WONT GET MANHANDLED BY NORTHWESTERN.Greg Schiano wants the job.
Bielema? F No. You be trolling.No. Also no to Dan Mullen and no to Manny.
Bielema. Cignetti is probably going to the final four at least and that's way too long to wait for something that's a pipe dream...
Talk to Urban and make sure he doesn't want back in the game then hire Brett and never get beaten like a step child at scrimmage again. I don't mind 10-2 or 9-3 but this has been 19 years of playing like females up front. NO more.
He is not leaving Indiana and the hire can't wait until February.Schiano can chop wood elsewhere.
Needs to be Cignetti.
Not happening.Nebraska coordinators

They are not going back there again.Yes, he is--Sumrall has to be at the top of our list
I love the possibility of Cignetti but this might need to be a quick hire and it's not going to be an up and comer or a guy from anywhere other than a power 4 coach.No. Also no to Dan Mullen and no to Manny.

Yeah. Glenn Schumann, Mike Shanahan others.Agree. Next guy needs to be exciting and young. Think Will Stein, Dillingham, etc. Hiring a Franklin peer is a mistake IMO.
He doesn’t beat good teams. That’s a problem when one reason the last guy was fired was his inability to beat good teams.I agree that Matt Rhule would need some time but he is a much better head coach than he’s being given credit for and other than a 3 point loss to Michigan he has Nebraska playing hard. With a couple of lucky rolls he could get Nebraska to win 10, potentially 11 games and that means playoffs.

You would rule out Manny Diaz?Hiring ANYONE with PSU ties is a disaster.
Yeah I’m all about OC. Young QBs learning new verbiage every spring, imo, is a huge problem. Philly hurts, my Super Bowl champion, hints how much it sucks. Im not worried about 1 or my birds but anybody watching knows the O is not clicking (yet)You would rule out Manny Diaz?
That would be a disaster.I have a bad feeling Matt Rhule is going to be the next head coach. If so, prep for the dark ages.
Hard hard pass.Josh Pate thinks Matt Campbell is clearly the best candidate. Feels he is a great coach.
Who are these coaches?Why is everyone seemingly in love with these young coaches and OC’s who love speedy skinny player football?
Franklin successfully demonstrated that crappola approach doesn’t work in the B1G or in championship games.
And yet some of you goofballs are asking for more.![]()
He is a solid coach, but he is a get to the mountain top coach?Josh Pate thinks Matt Campbell is clearly the best candidate. Feels he is a great coach.
I think, given the choice, I’d prefer skinny player football (whatever that means) over whatever it is I’ve been watching Penn State play the last 7 season on offense.Why is everyone seemingly in love with these young coaches and OC’s who love speedy skinny player football?
