We dont know that anyone other than Elko was actually a candidate. Others using our opening or Eli using Florida doesn't mean they were candidates.It’s worded incorrectly, but it’s literally the only thing that we actually know for certain - other coaches have successfully leveraged the Penn State coaching search to benefit themselves.

Coaches leverage everything to benefit themselves so why do people keep trying to make this a big deal. We aren't chasing every coach...maybe we should have but we didn't.
