That is a ridiculous take.I’m thinking smoke so he can get a raise or extension. He’s a BYU alum. Cant see him leaving. I think I’d rather have Terry than him.
Because coaches never use a job opening to get a raise or extension?That is a ridiculous take.
I am referring to Terry. You would rather have Terry than a tenured head coach who has enjoyed a lot of success. The same Terry that blew the Indiana game and has continued a mentor relationship with effing James Franklin. The Terry that has lost the entire recruiting class. That is the candidate that you would want.Because coaches never use a job opening to get a raise or extension?
or you think Terry being preferred over a guy with absolutely no PA/East Coast ties, who’s Mormon and has a team of 60% Mormon players (last time the number was revealed. In 2020, 60% of the team had been on a Mormon mission) is ridiculous?

Paterno fans (not Penn State fans--there's a difference) are far worse than Eagles fans but a lot of them are the same people so...
I must have missed that. I did hear him say that he took responsibility for the losses and that he was going to fix it the day before Kraft fired him.He couldn’t muster the amount of character needed to say that he still wanted to be coach of Penn State during a press conference… at that moment he had to be fired immediately
he is the one who set this in motion. No one else.
Got hammered by Texas Tech and the haters were complaining about Franklin losing to OSU.His upside is huge
Dude is only 50 and he's won 22 games the past 2 year with the potential to win more as they just moved into the Big XII
Where is there not potential?
Why doesn't he fit culturally? Because he's a Mormon? Who cares what his religion is?
I think many wouldn’t be enamored if he is hired because he has spent most of his career coaching in Utah, has no ties to this area and most likely would have difficulty coaching here. Why are you engaging in race baiting?I love that I'm the ***hole but so many here hate Sitake because of his race and religion--just classic
The haters complained about everything. Not sure what you think your proving hereGot hammered by Texas Tech and the haters were complaining about Franklin losing to OSU.
Why we he "most likely have difficulty coaching here"?I think many wouldn’t be enamored if he is hired because he has spent most of his career coaching in Utah, has no ties to this area and most likely would have difficulty coaching here. Why are you engaging in race baiting?
Oh so now Sitake is a great coach huh? What conference does BYU play in Big Guy? How did he do against Texas Tech this year which last I checked isn’t exactly OSU. So he lost badly to the only Top Ten team he faced. Isn’t that why Kraft said Franklin was fired? How the hell do you know whether Sitake can recruit players from Philly or this geographic area when he has never done so before? If he gets hired, I hope he is in fact the home run hire Kraft essentially promised since as a life long Penn State fan I always support the team but at this point if Sitake is hired it appears that Kraft had to settle for him.I'm fine with people just wanting someone else but the culture comments (we could use a change) and the nonsense of claiming he can't recruit in Philly is just ridiculous. I wanted Elko, I'd have loved to have convinced Urban to come out of retirement, there's a bunch of guys I'd love to get. Sitake wasn't on my shortlist but he's a great coach.
Me either but that doesn’t matter to the “King”.Who brought up his race and religion? I've skimmed through this thread and have not seen it.
When wasn't he a great coach?Oh so now Sitake is a great coach huh? What conference does BYU play in Big Guy? How did he do against Texas Tech this year which last I checked isn’t exactly OSU.

How did an interim head coach lose an entire recruiting class?I am referring to Terry. You would rather have Terry than a tenured head coach who has enjoyed a lot of success. The same Terry that blew the Indiana game and has continued a mentor relationship with effing James Franklin. The Terry that has lost the entire recruiting class. That is the candidate that you would want.
Truly not surprised that you wouldn’t understandThe haters complained about everything. Not sure what you think your proving here
To the contrary, unlike you ain’t crowning him before he is even hired and, if he is, before he has coached a single game at Penn State.When wasn't he a great coach?
Franklin was a great coach...change was needed
How the hell do you know he can't? There's no reason to believe he can't.
You aren't supportive. You're already crying and likely know nothing about him.
Because you're rambling nonsense and aren't proving anything...who cares what the haters said...they aren't relevantTruly not surprised that you wouldn’t understand
Crowning him what? I'm not even sold he's coming here. All I've said is he's a great coach and if he does come here there's no reason to assume he'll fail. You and other just want him to.To the contrary, unlike you ain’t crowning him before he is even hired and, if he is, before he has coached a single game at Penn State.
And he has a good eye for talent on and off the fieldYes he was. And a good man.
saying you take responsibility and actually taking it are too entirely different things...Franklin was great with words but horrible with in game coaching.I must have missed that. I did hear him say that he took responsibility for the losses and that he was going to fix it the day before Kraft fired him.
Manny didn't either and even if Duke wins the aren't going to the CFPI don't think Kraft thought Manny would be coaching in the ACC Championship Game.
Wait until Lando finds out that Franklin is black.I think many wouldn’t be enamored if he is hired because he has spent most of his career coaching in Utah, has no ties to this area and most likely would have difficulty coaching here. Why are you engaging in race baiting?
Funny I could see that lol at some point. I do not know about this moment. Who knows?Wait until Lando finds out that Franklin is black.
I would be happy to see this one fizzle away because at least that thread is slightly on topic. Maybe just merge this post?
I was listening to XM radio yesterday and Rick Neuheisel was talking about the Ole Miss/Kiffin/LSU situation, but it applies to PSU as well. He said that portal/NIL discussions are happening now. The portal doesn’t open until Jan 2 but those discussions happen immediately after the regular season ends. That’s not good news for a PSU program with no head coach. We would be naive to think that other programs aren’t reaching out to the current PSU roster.JFC... that is a horrible look but I guess this is how things are done in 2025
BS. This is big business. It’s cuttthroat. You either be proactive and get your guy or you get left behind.If coaches we are targeting still have seasons going on, Penn State should do the right thing and wait for their seasons to be done. We should be applauding PSU for that, if that is in fact what is happening.
Pat should have been focusing on the hire 50 days ago. If he is still interviewing potential hires now, he has failed miserably.I think the two activities are separate. Pat has nothing to do for bowl prep other than accept the bid to the bottom feeder bowl invite as a formality. Pat needs to focus 100% on the hire
Umm this has been known since Franklin was fired. But you have to remember that the new coach is also having discussions with players that will be in the portal. It didn't matter when Franklin was fired this was going to be an issue IF we are hiring a coach with integrity that is still coach his team.I was listening to XM radio yesterday and Rick Neuheisel was talking about the Ole Miss/Kiffin/LSU situation, but it applies to PSU as well.

It matters because PSU has no HC at this moment and the current roster is open to poaching. With the 2026 recruiting class being a complete loss, it matters a lot.Umm this has been known since Franklin was fired.

So you're saying that we should hire a lesser candidate because of this? Again this was all known when JF was fired. And if he was fired this past Sunday it would be the exact same situation.It matters because PSU has no HC at this moment and the current roster is open to poaching.

No, I’m saying Kraft had 50 days to figure this out and get his guy and here we are at national signing day with no head coach and the current roster is currently fielding offers to leave. PSU is the only P4 program without a coach. Not a good look for Kraft.So you're saying that we should hire a lesser candidate because of this? Again this was all known when JF was fired.

Try this for now: https://www.ranker.com/list/hottest-weather-women/calistylieHartline, Schmartline. Just hire a coach already so we can get back to the important stuff on this board like bourbon and weather polls. There’s a storm coming to the east coast. We need a forecast!
How do you know he doesn't have it figured out? So you want a coach like Kiffin who is going to abandon his team playing for a Conference Championship? If that's not the case then you want him to settle. Like I said all of this was known when he fired JF. Guess what, they would be fielding offers if we had a head coach in place or if he didn't fire Franklin until Sunday. Kraft knows the Portal is more important than signing day in CFB today and the door does swing both ways. Mississippi had 31 kids transfer in last year including the QB.No, I’m saying Kraft had 50 days to figure this out and get his guy and here we are at national signing day with no head coach and the current roster is currently fielding offers to leave. PSU is the only P4 program without a coach. Not a good look for Kraft.
