BGJ needed to be fired after 2021. Does that answer your question?Was this sarcasm?
BCJ was fired for a reason. No one with ties to him should be considered. If so, they'd have kept him

You think the board is doing anything more than rubber stamping something Kraft sends their way? Of course they’d approve it.You think the board would approve us hiring Terry after the Paterno book message on social media and the 409 pin?
I don't but if Kraft decides to make that move I guess we'll find out
Yes--if that name is Terry SmithYou think the board is doing anything more than rubber stamping something Kraft sends their way?
I sure wouldnt lose Chesney over Knowles. Ultimately he is chump change. And if Terry is that much of a speed bump, id kick him to the curb as well. Either get on the new train or get the **** out of the road.Just speculating here. Pethaps Kraft might be angling for the new HC to keep Terry Smith as Associate HC and Knowles on staff as DC since I believe Knowles' contract is guaranteed $. Chesney might want to have total control over hiring/firing of the entire staff including GM and administrative staff?
Any other thoughts on what other answers Chesney might have been seeking that Kraft couldn't answer or commit to?
It does--good sarcasmBGJ needed to be fired after 2021. Does that answer your question?
I am just stunned that people on this board have any inside info. Like who would leak information on an interview? I mean is Kraft texting people like.. "yeah I interviewed Chesney and it went like this..." What? To believe this is to say people on this board are friendly enough with Kraft or with some big booster or some BOT member who Kraft is consulting with. That is a very small group and I'm sure very tight lipped and I don't find it believable that anyone on this board has connections like that.Actually in this case there are folks personally close to him around here - but you’re right in “who knows who’s angling who?”
But there were others on this board and the Lions Den who at least corroborated that he nailed two interviews.
Smoking dope.inside dope, or just dope?
This -^^I sure wouldnt lose Chesney over Knowles. Ultimately he is chump change. And if Terry is that much of a speed bump, id kick him to the curb as well. Either get on the new train or get the **** out of the road.
Unless there is a huge name we dont know about, lets get Chesney in here. Hand him the keys. And hope he kicks some ***.
I’ve heard this a few times: “he didn’t interview well”. The guy wins games. What type of questions are asked that makes the interview bad? Just asking for enlightenmentKraft keeping things close to the vest. Top target is Debouer. If 'Bama loses Saturday night it could happen. After that it's anybody's guess. Chesney did not interview well last week. Drinkowitz wife does not like State College area. Key was interview three weeks ago. HARTLINE & Oregon OC Coach Stein still in the mix, plus one mystery coach we can't identify . Don't shoot the messenger.
Ever been in T-Town in the summer? Or mid-to-late spring? Or early-to-mid fall?Except for the weather!
I haven't heard anything about the quality of the interviews but remember it's not just Kraft doing them and people talk.

If Kraft is stipulating the new coach has to keep anyone then he needs to be fired.I sure wouldnt lose Chesney over Knowles. Ultimately he is chump change. And if Terry is that much of a speed bump, id kick him to the curb as well. Either get on the new train or get the **** out of the road.

Counterpoint: there are 100%, absolutely, without a doubt people on this board who either are close with members of the BOT ,or are close with people close enough to it, that Kraft has conferred with after interviews.I am just stunned that people on this board have any inside info.

Nobody on this board has actual info. If they do, you won't find it here. Its all speculation, guessing, and more bullsheet than the average Bushwood post.I am just stunned that people on this board have any inside info. Like who would leak information on an interview?

Kifficken to LSUWhat if Bama is secretly targeting Lane Kiffin? Hmmmmm
I believe Landon’s Bobby Engram scoop since he has the pretty direct connection to him. But I question how much he knows about everything else that’s happening (or how much anyone knows).I haven't heard anything about the quality of the interviews but remember it's not just Kraft doing them and people talk. Our search has been less discussed than most.
Most Kraft has had many conversations with many people and "true insiders" like Tom, hear things. And some of us have "friends" that are in situations like that where they hear things.
People seem to believe Landon T & AB but they have no more insight than probably half a dozen of us--in fact, they may be talking to some of the same people.
Are you saying Urban is in the running for the job or they are talking with Urban as part of a deal with Hartline?I haven't heard anything about the quality of the interviews but remember it's not just Kraft doing them and people talk. Our search has been less discussed than most.

And, yes, a lot of information is leaked that is untrue for a reason but I've been told throughout the job was Elko's if he wanted it but they'd continue to discuss with Urban and Hartline. I've heard nothing that changes so far.
Counterpoint: there are 100%, absolutely, without a doubt people on this board who either are close with members of the BOT ,or are close with people close enough to it, that Kraft has conferred with after interviews.
The funny thing is that the pay board on another site has an actual BOT member post about the goings on all the time and another person close to a board member but not on it chimes in correcting him.
With Elko out of play, if Urban wants the job he just needs to make a phone call to Kraft.Are you saying Urban is in the running for the job or they are talking with Urban as part of a deal with Hartline?
Smoking dope.
Aside from that, I would hope the announcement would have been made already if that were the case.Terry's not in the race.
Do you really think even if Kraft wanted to hire him (which he doesn't) he'd get board approval?
Terry knows he's not a legit candidate. It's why he's doing all the things he's doing.
Which is also true--if they were hiring Smith it would have been announced by nowAside from that, I would hope the announcement would have been made already if that were the case.
THANK YOU!We don't even know who the next head coach could possibly be yet we know details about a Krafty/Chesney interview and what Chesney didn't like?
The fact is no one on this board knows anything. Anyone who has "inside" information is not spending time on this board.
Yep. Personally I don’t believe anyone on here really knows anything, how an interview went , etc.I am just stunned that people on this board have any inside info.

He apparently does not want it.With Elko out of play, if Urban wants the job he just needs to make a phone call to Kraft.
I've been smokin' dope, snortin' coke
Tryin' to write a song
Depends on the day--or the hour lolHe apparently does not want it.
He had not won two in a row 3 weeks ago with the team looking much better. Nevertheless, I don't think Terry is getting the job but now I'm thinking if he doesn't get it then he is not sticking around. I'm sure Kraft is working a contingency when or if that happens. We need to replace (well) his PA recruiting and his CB coaching.Which is also true--if they were hiring Smith it would have been announced by now
I can tell you with 100% certainty that I will not be the next HC of Penn State football. That is my inside information!Yep. Personally I don’t believe anyone on here really knows anything, how an interview went , etc.
We are going to get who we get, some will be excited, some will be disappointed, some will likely be angry.
The End!
Against Michigan State and Nebraska without Dylan--I really just don't understand what people think is happening these past two weeks. How low is the bar?He had not won two in a row 3 weeks ago with the team looking much better.

It comes down to what the AD, new HC, and Terry wants to do. Let's get the HC first.Against Michigan State and Nebraska without Dylan--I really just don't understand what people think is happening these past two weeks. How low is the bar?
I agree--he'll likely be with CJF soon.
That would not excite me at all. How long has Stoops been on mothballs?The secret ex-Coach is BobShoopStoops. My sources are saying Gruden to Florida (he only owns one house and it's in Tampa and he has no interested in being cold).
Stoops apparently wants to coach with his brother to show the CFB nation something.
The Stoops grew up in Eastern Ohio. I thought someone said the mystery candidates were from PA?That would not excite me at all. How long has Stoops been on mothballs?
Stoops wasn't the name of the PA guy I heard rumored--maybe Stoops is in play now...who knows at this point.Thecs

Mike McCarthyStoops wasn't the name of the PA guy I heard rumored--maybe Stoops is in play now...who knows at this point.
I think since 2016 (at least at Oklahoma) and he is 65 years old. Seems old and out of the loop to me. And did they play defense when he was coaching the Sooners? That option doesn't excite me either.That would not excite me at all. How long has Stoops been on mothballs?
Do not want him.Mike McCarthy
