Half the fanbase didn't want him when they got him so it's not a stretch to think they will want to dump him. The Alumni and fanbase at Alabama are not at all like the same at PS. The Bama fans and Alumni have real power. They are not relegated to picking the colored napkins arraigning and tables for the Alumni dances like at PS.What if he’s not wanted in Alabama?
To quote my grandfather...Kraft 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.
To each their own but it's massive failureI certainly wouldn’t be depressed or think it’s “horrific”…but think we can find a better option.
Short sighted goals...but keep thinking that bowl game mattersI'd be excited. I think the momentum from naming Terry the head man after the Rutgers game could and would carry forward to a great performance in the bowl game.
Because, from what I saw on the field this year, Franklin wasn’t doing his job this year.It seems quite odd to me, to fire a coach mid-season, then, hope for an OK coach to gag in a big game, so we could hire him? Why not just keep Franklin if we are going to hire so, so coaches from big name programs who can't win big games? doesn't add up.
I hoping both. They can flip a coin for HC duties each week.Kelly! (chip or Brian?)
No games matter after loss 3.Short sighted goals...but keep thinking that bowl game matters
Try explaining that to himNo games matter after loss 3.
Did you misspeak? Did you mean to say “no real power” in your first sentence?The Bama fans and Alumni have real power. They are relegated to picking the colored napkins arraigning tables for the Alumni dances.

Then non-conference games also don’t matter. Why not sit those out? Dress for the game just in case the particular FCS team that week is putting up a struggle, but don’t really plan on playing.Try explaining that to him
But regular season games at least impact standings and potentially who makes the playoff. Bowl games are just so the players get some swag and TV money.
Considering he was never considered for the DC role here or anywhere else, I think it's fair to say it would be a massive failure to make him the head coach at a B10 program in the midst of a rebuild.To each their own but it's massive failure
Ideally, teams would only play conference games but non-conference games matter--ask Texas.Then non-conference games also don’t matter. Why not sit those out? Dress for the game just in case the particular FCS team that week is putting up a struggle, but don’t really plan on playing.
If you’re a competitor, you play the games because you like to compete.
Drinkowitz wife does not like State College area, fine, dumb a$$ wife. With the money on the table, she could hire a limo bi-weekly w/2-3hr drives to major cities-NYC, Philly, Washington, Pitt...or have in the contract, access to PSU private jet.Kraft keeping things close to the vest.

Agreed. And I jumped off the Terry train last night after learning that a psu now vt staffer was encouraging our recruits to de-commit, and also seeing that Terry admits he is still being mentored by Franklin. Terry lost most of the recruiting class. I certainly want him to remain on the next coaching staff and recognize he’s done great in terms of re-motivating the team, but goodness gracious, he is not ready to be our head coach.Great man and tremendous ambassador for Penn State football, but not a head coach. Recruiting will suffer. PSU needs a coach that can recruit nationwide.
HahaTo quote my grandfather...
I dont know chief, I think you are full of ****.
Nah, they don’t matter.Ideally, teams would only play conference games but non-conference games matter--ask Texas.
Competitors understand game have different level of meaning and some have none
I don't encourage meaningful relationships to be put to an end over differences, but given the circumstances, I think it's totally inappropriate for them to be in contact until after the season is over and the final decision is made.Terry admits he is still being mentored by Franklin.

I wasn't rooting for Drinkowitz anyway, Debouer I have been since James left.
Yeah, I’m actually wondering if Franklin purposely took advantage of Terry to take his eyes off of what was actually happening to the program the last several weeks . It is beyond inappropriate for Terry to have continued that relationship.I don't encourage meaningful relationships to be put to an end over differences, but given the circumstances, I think it's totally inappropriate for them to be in contact until after the season is over and the final decision is made.
No they bring money to the table at Bama and will withhold if they are not happy. That is not permitted at PS.Did you misspeak? Did you mean to say “no real power” in your first sentence?
Yeah. That was an issue for me as well. To me that’s a deal breakerI don't encourage meaningful relationships to be put to an end over differences, but given the circumstances, I think it's totally inappropriate for them to be in contact until after the season is over and the final decision is made.

Kalen DeBoer will not leave Alabama for Penn State.
Not now. Not ever.
.
why would DeBoer want to leave Alabama and come here?
Neither here nor there, but isn't his daughter a D1 volleyball player?What if he’s not wanted in Alabama?

As long as he embraces modern recruiting we could do worse.Just to play in the guessing game -- Dan Mullen?

Chesney didn’t interview well? - I guess on the field performance doesn’t matter - I call BS on this all the way around.Kraft keeping things close to the vest. Top target is Debouer.

Watching him speak on YouTube hard to imagine. Comes off charismatic as hell.Chesney didn’t interview well? - I guess on the field performance doesn’t matter - I call BS on this all the way around.
Agreed--now if i heard Terry Smith didn't interview well I'd buy that.Watching him speak on YouTube hard to imagine. Comes off charismatic as hell.
