Is it Urban Meyer? I hope so.

I guess the fact that McCormick has no actual connection to Penn State can be ignored for the sake of a good rumor? Carton's theory is pretty idiotic.

 

[JVP_Yahweh]

That looks promising

 

[Itraindogs]

Urban is not coming back to coaching. He has zero experience with NIL or the transfer portal and I do not believe he has the personality to coach players in this era of college football. Only way this works is if Kraft hires a GM, like Stanford did with Luck, and make him responsible for all recruiting, compensation and so on.

Only aliens with anal probes, because this the theory in the article is full of ****.

Heard a couple of weeks ago Meyer was the target.

They are down to just a few weeks on making a decision. They have had MUCH interest in the job. I have to eat my words on one thing a lower tier non power 4 candidate has moved into their top 5 and that coach is JMU's Chesney.

Heard from whom? Us?

 

[LMTLION]

The college football world is conspiring against us to ensure we get stuck with Rhule. Now LSU may be entering the mix….

Rhule is still in the top 5.

I think he could figure it out.

Chesney makes about $900K and would be a perfect fit.
Has won at about a 60% rate. Sun Belt.
Looks like Jimmy Stewart.

 

[PSU4U]

Yep I know that and I'm there with you but I don't think it's going to be Rhule. Maybe I will be wrong in the end, but I know where the push for Rhule is coming from. It's the same prominent homer who has been wrong on expansion every time.

 

[JustSomeRandomGuy]

Meyer is not going to be the next coach of Penn State. Like Saban, he loathes NIL and has spoken out against it as ruining the game. He has been a long-time friend of McMormick. That he was seen having lunch with him is meaningless in terms of anything having to do with the PSU opening.

I like him. If they're going for taking a chance with a big upside, I'm on board.

Man, and the firings are not even close to being done. Crazy Crazy Year.

 

[Thorndike2021]

If Kraft fires Franklin, pays him $50+ million (!) to leave, then wants to hire Ruhle he should be pilloried in the intersection of College and Allen.

I would hope (and pray!) that someone on the Board would step in to stop that sort of madness.

Urban Meyer? Can he coach next Saturday? Sign him up!

Not what I heard from two different people but we shall see.

 

[WVilleLion23]

We will get Urban. Pay some crazy annual salary. And he won’t get it done while the HC. A nightmare scenario.

 

[Arivacalion]

Would be a great hire, most people would agree.

 

[LMTLION]

Imagine we had not fired Franklin and the firings were still happening… home games would be interesting. Kraft would need a security escort as well.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Chesney is 48 years old. That seems like a good age... experienced but not yet geriatric.

 

[BobPSU92]

He probably wouldn’t get through the first year without an ugly scandal.

I'm surprised that anyone even pays attention to Craig Carton, let alone gives credence to anything that he says.

Unless I hear it from Sekrah, your insight is meaningless.

Couldn’t be any happier.
Let everyone else make the splash hires while we make the right hire.

Bourbon Meyer would bring too much baggage. Would be a huge mistake.

I am 0% sold he can win anywhere close in 2026 to what he could in 2016. Completely different sport.

 

[donaldfair71]

Also, if they’re in Chesney they should be into Satterfield and Golesh.

Think about what Chesney did after Curt Cignetti raided the JMU roster via portal transfers to Indiana: Chesney won 9 games. This year JMU has won 6 games. The guy can coach. Already has recruiting contacts in the DMV, all over Virginia and into NC. He should be given strong consideration.
