Maybe but, if true, I’m shocked there’s also no leak over the complete disarray and panic in the athletic director’s office.
New coach
- Thread starter NOYDB
- Start date
Isn’t Chesney getting a big raise with the new job? I agree with you about it being more than money, but at the end of the day, all the Sexton clients linked to PSU got paid, just somewhere else.
Agree, he should have grabbed Chesney. Wait and see who he gets.
Duh.
If Sexton is pissed, it is because:
PK didn't rubber stamp (VT)HCJF's request for an extension last year
and/or
That PK was (In Sexton's view) petty and juvenile with how he handled the firing of (VT)HCJF
NOT upset simply that PSU and (VT)HCJF parted ways (ie, that Franklin was "fired") That stuff just comes with the territory, and no pro gets spiteful over that.... and Sexton has been through that process scores of times.
Once again, the vision. Kraft and his staff, early morning, strong coffee aroma in the air, some breaking out cigarettes even though they haven't smoked in years. Yet here they are, lacing up those big floppy shoes, putting on their rubber noses and brightly colored hair. Some are giggling as they test the whoopee cushions and fill up the seltzer bottles. All this joy in the air yet in the background the melancholy voice of Judy Collins can be heard singing "Send in the Clowns"
Always liked Judy.

If PSU wanted Chesney and outbid UCLA, and Chesney wanted to be at PSU, Sexton can’t stop it. I think much of this talk of Sexton’s grudge and power to screw PSU is mostly talk. What we saw is exactly what Franklin did…use a job offer to get a raise from the school you want to stay at. It’s not the curse of Sexton.
I think it was time to cut bait with Franklin.
Fair enough, but that was 52 days ago now and Penn State is the only P4 school without a coach and recruiting class. That’s squarely on Kraft.
All these coaches are smart, savvy guys that can make big boy decisions on their own. There’s zero chance that Sexton would risk his career over some spat with one AD. Especially since there are a ton of other POS ADs and agents he has to deal with on a daily basis.
Incompetence? Can’t say at this time. Bad decisions in hindsight? Very well could be, depending on who he hires.
yeah, seems he passed by the good trying to go for the perfect
1) The BYU guy was not a Sexton client (nor are several ofr the others "on the lists")
2) No way in the world a pro like Sexton would bar one of his clients from a huge payday/opportunity. He may squeeze PK's walnuts for an extra $10 Million or so as a price for (In Sexton's view) being juvenile - just to show he can - but that wouldn't be anything that would prevent PSU from completing the hire.
Nope. No boogeyman to point the fingers at. It is what it is.
Not having a head coach on signing day over 50 days after he fired the last head coach is incompetence.
That would be a cool "Fun Fact".... if it were anything close to being a fact - instead on abject nonsense.
I could probably list a half-dozen recent such cases..... JUST with Jimmy Sexton clients, and JUST in the SEC alone.
Where do people come up with this nonsense?
Butch Jones to Jeremy Pruitt
Jimbo Fisher to Willie Taggart (FSU, not SEC)
Jim McElwain to Dan Mullen
Hugh Freeze to Matt Luke
Took about 3 minutes to locate 4 - without really trying.

Everything has changed because now as it turns out Sexton has/is sabotaging this process because we didn't handle small game James, 1-18 James, 4-21 James, after 12 years when this dbag couldn't even say he was committed to Penn State or wanted to coach here in a press conference, and tried an end run around the AD to get more money. Unbelievable. This guy Sexton is the God of college football and he dictates what happens based on whether his clients get whatever they want regardless of results. College football is an absolute putrid turd.
A bit harsh.
Well, im not sure there has even been a search until we had a "handshake" with sataki
On an insider board it is alleged Franklin called Sitake and trashed Kraft, the fanbase and program. If true that is low blow.
Because according to Todd McShay agents and their clients have a relationship like the one portrayed in Jerry Maguire.
Sexton doesn't work for PSU, Franklin did. No permission or authorization needed and if Sexton thinks otherwise, too bad.
Really going out on a limb with that prediction considering we have senior heavy starting roster, no recruits and no coach for signing day. Why would anyone challenge this, it's obvious and has been for a while.
And Penn State had zero interest in him so...it's mutual
Someone once said "You can't always get what you want...but if you try sometimes, well you just might find, you get what you need."
Have faith boys. We're going to have a coach soon and he's going to be a good coach.

Let's examine the short list of coaches who want to come in and take over a program with no recruits in the entire class, a ton of seniors leaving, and half of what's left portaling out in a few weeks...I got Terry Smith and nobody else, literally. Hire him today and then fire this clown Kraft
