Here is an idea outside the box: Hire LaVar as GM

[Arivacalion]

Whatcha think here? A dynamic guy who isn't afraid of being the face, and understands Penn State better than anyone. This also kicks Jay into the outhouse where he belongs.

Yeah, the program needs more input from the past.

 

[MaconNitt]

Get back in your box

 

[BobPSU92]

For f*ck’s sake.

Uh .. isn't that Rhule and Golden?

 

[WVilleLion23]

Trolling, trolling, trolling

Hybrid head coach: Golden-Rhule

 

[Mile High Lion]

Laughable. We need someone who knows what they are doing.

 

[PSUSignore]

Ironically we just fired a guy that probably would make an excellent GM.

Except his NIL strategy seemed ineffective.

LOL

Except that’s ironic coming from the poster best known for “doing unto himself”

Who calls the running plays and who calls the passing plays?

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Yeah, the program needs more input from the past.

What’s your definition of the past?

 

[KingLando]

What’s your definition of the past?

JMO--the next hire should have zero ties to Paterno, O'Brien or Franklin--we need a clean break

Wasn't Franklin the "clean break" you and your ilk desired?

 

[BobPSU92]

King Mando (pits, packages, and feet) and his ick.

[razpsu]

I like this idea. Then we can hire 5 assistants to help him. Im fine with raising my daughter’s tuition over this. Let’s spend more money!!!

 

[KingLando]

And Franklin was my #2 choice at the time and did a great job rebuilding the program. He simply wasn't able to take the next step. Doesn't mean it was a bad or unsuccessful hire. He just reached his ceiling.

Not sure what you thought this question was proving.

If the next coach is here as long as Franklin we hired the right guy.

I like inside the box.

 

[Rudy4526]

Great idea.

 

[Connorpozlee]

If the program is run inside the box than I like the idea of keeping Lavar outside the box.

 

[mfb5053]

A whole thread about box. I support this.

Does Penn State currently have a GM? I know that other programs do.

what, exactly, does a GM do at the college level?

 

[BobPSU92]

Buy the groceries?

 

[LaJollaCreek]

JMO here, but you hire an actual experienced GM who really understands the business part of running a sports franchise as that is what it is. One that understands the finances involved in paying players and the sport itself. They need to nnow which positions to invest in the most and keep a roster solid. Not a knock on LA, but this job may be above his pay grade.

 

[mfb5053]

A ton of the value of the GM is creating a position outside the locker room to help handle the NIL money. I think it could give the coach a bit of cover when players are unhappy with NIL spending.

 

[BobPSU92]

A GM would fit well at PSU.

It would come at a high cost.

[psuno1]

Just bring in Meyer for 5-7 years and let him keep he who wants on the staff now. Get it done Kraft.

Outside the box.... and into the Nut House

As a GM or football coach?
What was his NIL strategy, please explain?

Yes, obviously

 

[mfb5053]

Franklin, the former head football coach, used massive amounts of NIL funds to retain talent on this team and appeared apprehensive to allocate more funds to portal players, despite obvious holes in the roster.

He's a math genius?

Yes, obviously

Who is it?

"Do your own GD work!! You think I'm your ****-boy?!"


[Seriously though, since I am familiar:



If you DO do your own work , you will find that there are several other staffers who have - by title anyway - sub-responsibilities for portions of that work

Including this guy:
(26) Rashad Elby | LinkedIn
And this guy:
(26) Aeneas Hawkins | LinkedIn
Among the others

What would it take to get Meyer?
- $20m, $30m a year?
- Full control and direct report to the president?
- Freedom to recruit anyone regardless of concerns?
- $15m budget for assists?

Who cares just go get him, do you want to win or not. If your going on all in you might as well go all the way in.
