The point is that alot of folks on this board are speculating and making assumptions without knowing what really happened. I'm sure we'd all like to know what is going on. All evidence points to Kraft screwing the pooch. But whether there really was a deal with Sitake or Chesney was held in check is just heresay.
New coach
- Thread starter NOYDB
- Start date

It can't be true because it doesn't fit Lando's scenario.
You really going to go there? As a lawyer I have dealt with agents; not football ones of course. However, I never met one who told a client to not sign a deal because the agent was pissed with the way someone treated another of his clients. Easily the most asinine and naive post of the day.
As an alum, you better believe Penn State owes me an explanation, especially if the university wants me to ever donate to them again…something I haven’t done in over a decade.
The Penn State situation isn't great thanks to the recruiting class situation, but it's not nearly as terrible as people are suggesting. The portal with some money - which PSU has - can overcome a bunch of deficiencies. It's absolutely true that the position was far more appealing a week ago and PSU could have been more "choosey" at that point, but it isn't so bad that we shouldn't be able to get a competent coach who is hungry to prove what he can do. If a coach has aspirations to get to the "next level" of National Championship caliber, PSU is certainly a great opportunity.
Once Neuheisel finds out that The Tavern no longer offers ALL the sides to your meal for no cost, he and his kid will be out.
Good on you Counselor. I've met a lot of professional golfers over the years. Just not many agents.
My son graduated from Alabama, and I have definitive proof it’s not DeBoer. Wanna’ know what it is?
His friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl heard that it’s not him.
That should suffice here.
Oh let me correct myself: Kraft didn’t hire a coach and publicly announce it before signing day. Given that several coaches whose teams are in the playoffs (Kiffin,Stein and Hartline) have been announced as the new coaches at other schools IF Kraft actually hired a coach whose team is in the playoffs why is he the only one who hasn’t announced who the coach is?
Just had a "conversation" with an AI chatbot, where I asked who Penn State football should hire as the next head coach. After giving me a laundry list of all the names that have been out there, and after I had to keep prompting it about several of the names on its lists are no longer available, it finally concluded with this:
Now, how much more sophisticated is the search going in the athletic director's office?
Kraft has been f more than Bonnie Blue .It’s going to be so ridiculous when Kraft, if he’s still at PSU, introduces the new coach, if he actually hires someone. It will amount to, “I am very pleased to announce my 67th choice for the next head coach at Penn State…”
Exactly! We’re all filling in the void with our own personal narratives and biases, which is why there is religion, cults, wars…
OMG (no, I’m not 12) but I just did the exact same thing! All it did was confirm to me the shortcomings of AI.
Yeah there appears to be no end to the stupid excuses the Kraft apologists make up.
We do know that he fanned on a layup hire in Chesney - losing him to UCLA via his handling of Chesney's and Sitake's simultaneous candidacy. He literally told Chesney that PSU had considered him and was not interested in his services (Kraft did this because he had shaken Sitake's hand on "loose terms" of mutual interest and with no written agreement between himself and Sitake!). We know plenty enough to understand what a complete incompetent tool Kraft is.
I hope you are being sarcastic; otherwise I need to put on my bleep kicking shoes.
Given that it has been over a decade, I'd say they don't owe you jackshit. They will get real donations elsewhere from real donors.
Your paltry "donations" (if they ever existed) were noise level and are not worth expending any effort.
You have a choice - either deal with it or walk away.
Mr. Big Donor. Right
File this under stuff I don't need to know about, nor care to know about.Kraft has been f more than Bonnie Blue .
Not much gets by you huh? He was fired on October 12th. What the hell does that have to do with the fact Kraft still hadn’t hired a replacement coach?
I don’t think so either, my point is if it is not, why hasn’t Kraft been fired yet?
I have practised law since 1978; I know no lawyers who sell their clients out. I know some who don’t play by the rules to benefit their clients but none who sell their clients out. Stop making excuses for Kraft.
My apologies. I am not a Franklin apologist. My issue isn’t with his firing, but Kraft’s ineptitude.
I’ve just heard from an insider (can’t reveal my source) that Pat Kraft is also conducting the search for treasure of Oak Island.
First - Why the personal insults? You have no clue who I am or how much money I’ve donated to PSU over the past several decades.
Second - My point, which I guess escaped your comprehension*, is that if I feel this way, so, too, do tens of thousands of other alums who also might not donate.
*Comprehension is the action or capability of understanding something.
The program sinks further with every passing day because the portal opening in less than a month isn't just about WHEN it opens: Like Landon Tengwall said "these kids know where they are going well before the portal opens and if you can't get a coach in place soon it will be too late with a few weeks left before it opens. Their already gone". What an incredible fantastic failure by this incompetent fool. Neeli must take this out of his hands RIGHT NOW
I think it used to be Oak Islands, but the middle was filled in and called the swamp. I haven't watched in years. Can't say I've missed much news or it would have been news. I guess.
Maybe Kraft has been fired, but there hasn’t been an announcement. Seems like par for the course right now.
Campbell, then possibly Diaz - the defense would improve. Both have staff and recruits they might bring along. No to Daboll. Campbell makes 5 mil a year and is extended through 2032. But only a 2 mil buy out. Campbell grew up in Ohio and also coached at Toledo for 5 years before going to Iowa State. So he is familiar with the recruiting area. Plus he can still play rival Iowa if he comes here....he beat them this year.
That might be his job if this search process does not conclude with a competent coach.
