I’m on board with Terry Smith.
Build a highly incentive laden salary with a reasonable base salary.
Three years initial offer, a split with his counter.

Hey, what happened to Hartline? You were sure he was gonna be the coach, you had info from a well informed confidential source.
So this post proves you didn't read what I wrote. Always love that.
Clearly things didn't go according to plan...unless he has Urban lined up

What I don't understand is how Kraft could not have kept Chesney "warm" while courting Sitake. Talk about not anticipating what could go wrong. He needed to tell Sitake that we need to sign the deal last Sat after their game with whomever it was. Then if Sitake waffles you cut bait because he is not showing enough interest and you consummate the deal with Chesney and announce it Sunday. How much money does Kraft make and he couldn't follow basic project management principles?
Because he has a leak. The names of a dozen different coaches were leaked. Dating two girls does not work when everyone knows.

lol you’re so outrageous, I totally read what you wrote and so did everyone else
Clearly you didn't based on that comments. It weird how people refuse to read what is writing and have to alter it. Do you know what the word "plan" means? Find anything where I guaranteed he'd be hired. Never once said. But, like with many things, reality is though for many here.

Wut? Hartline was never part of the “plan.” He’s at USF.

He 100% was part of the plan. This is the same reason people were mad at O'Brien. They ignore facts and see what they want to see. Kraft when all in on Elko when Urban said no...HIS plan was then Hartline. He was forced to change his plan with has created the current mess which is why Hartline did what he did. More will come out. Kind of like with the search you all lack patience and jump to conclusions.
Plans change as you should be aware. This board truly believes we've chased Cignetti, Kiffin, Sitake, Rhule, Chesney, Stoops, Lincoln Riley, Mike McCarthy, Campbell, Diaz, DeBoer, and about 40 other guys they think said no. Couldn't be more wrong but most here refused to accept Allen should have been RB1 so...

Hard to keep up with all the crap he posts - he has to interject constantly about everything. Hope his Mom pays for an upgraded WiFi plan and extender to make it down to the basement!
Sounds like you're projecting. Sorry your life is so sad.

I actually think Chesney was afraid to take the PSU job out of fear of career damaging failure. He accepted a safe job with really low expectations. If he is even remotely successful, he's headed back East (but not PSU).
Then we dodged a bullet not getting him. If he doesn’t have the balls to take on a challenge (like Frankin did coming to Penn State) then why would we want him?

You said over and over and over again it was going to be Hartline or Hartline as OC along with Urban. And you said it as if it were a fact. Just admit you got it wrong.

Which proves to you didn't read what i wrote. I never once made that statement. I indicated what I was told was the plan and prefaced that countless times with "plans change". As far as I can tell...the Intel was correct and Kraft wasn't allowed to execute his plan. Not sure why that's beyond your level of comprehension. Maybe I need to talk to you like you're a toddler? Would that help?

Oh I never once said Hartline as an OC. That wasn't me. Never heard or said that.

We all read what you wrote because you wrote it many times over and over again in every thread. You can try to backtrack all you want, but you were wrong and even a toddler could have seen that. And as usual you have to be a condescending prick about it.

I did--find one time I said it was a guarantee or said Hartline would come as an OC--you're wrong as always because you don't pay attention or lack the intelligence to follow a discussion. The fact you think I have guaranteed it is laughable but it's predictable at the same time. Honestly, the second you said I claimed Hartline would come as an OC you proved you don't have a clue and you're confusing posters.

Please don’t take this the wrong way but I was really happy to see Jackson Ford and Peyton Falzone commit to PSU. I think the world of them. Ford was a verbal the entire time and he stuck to his word. Falzone came out of nowhere it seems. I know it’s just 2 players but they’re really high quality players.
I was not referring to the 2 players that signed today. I am happy they want to be at PSU. That is who I will cheer for. I was referring to the people that are complaining about what coach we get. Saying this coach is not good enough that coach is not good enough. I just want someone to take the job and move forward. I guess it was worded wrong. I would never say anything bad about a young man that wants to be at PSU.

The media has now ran with it too. They’re all acting like 112 D1 coaches have been offered and declined because nobody wants to coach Penn state and we should’ve kept Franklin. Yet the media ripped Franklin relentlessly for 1-500 record vs good opponents

I agree...the media is running with it and they love that our fan base believes it

More projecting. You decided to post simply to attack me...because that's apparently who you are. Doesn't bother me but it's all you have.
I don’t have half the board calling me a narcissist, blowhard and everything else daily. I also don’t feel the need to be on a board 24/7, trying to dominate every thread, insulting anybody and everybody who has an opinion different than mine, and making asinine comments based off some ‘inside sources’. That’s what I don’t have. You’re right on that KingTroll

A lot of name-calling on here these days, and I’m in no way jumping into that fray. I do have a legit question about something you posted, considering I’m completely out of any loop which contains inside information (For the record, I similarly thought it would be Hartline, based on my general perception about how things unfolded and that my tosu relative kept telling me he was the guy).

Are you able to elaborate as to why Kraft was forced to change his plan? Who/what forced him to do so?

I wish everyone would just ignore him.
