I thought it was the Corner Room that neuheisel favors?I’ve been following psu boards for years but I never post anything. I just heard something on the Sirius XM college football show, which I’ve been listening to intently all week, that made me chuckle.
Rick Neuheisel literally just said he’s so frustrated with the Psu coaching situation, that he’s about ready to jump in his car, drive to happy valley, ask for an emergency meeting with PK and say (verbatim)“Pat, let me do this. I can help get you out of this position you’re in. I got this thing.”
Dead serious. After all the play he’s got on these boards over the years, wouldn’t that be the most epic and comical outcome that could ever be imagined in this situation? Can someone who lives in town start canvassing the Tavern over the next couple days just to see if this has legs?
New coach
- Thread starter NOYDB
- Start date
I’m not a geologist, but I’ve worked with - and now supervise - several geologists. A year or so ago, they pulled out a bunch of samples to test me. I did surprisingly well.
But if our new hire did it, we would love it.
Hard to make good in game decisions with terrible talent especially at the OLine. Not much works without a competent OLine.
Sitake was not even the first choice. By the time psu hot to sitake they were already scrambling. Someone else lied to Kraft. That is life. Get it in writing.
I don't know who the head coach will be, but I would not mind throwing a bunch of money at Daboll to become our OC.
“No one has been hired”….thats why it’s not looking good. Either they don’t want to come to Penn State or they don’t want to work for Kraft….either way, it’s not good.
FWIW, there seems to be buzz surrounding Matt Campbell.
I also don't understand how he wasn't a top 3ish candidate to begin with - Iowa State mightve been the worst program in FCS prior to him arriving. I think he's the best evaluator in the country. Add that to "unlimited" resources and LFG.

If he had a verbal agreement from someone before Sitake fall through, and he then proceeded to roll with another verbal commitment he really needs to be terminated.
Cue the Matt Campbell extension announcement thread.
I hereby leave $100,000.01 to PSU upon my death so I can ***** about everything while I'm alive.
Not officially, but it's an interesting idea.
He did not take less. PsU never offered. Chesney took the best offer while Kraft was dicking around.
Maybe, just maybe, there’s a chance that this situation will lessen the calls to fire the coach after every bad play call because we’re seeing it’s not always easy to just get a new guy.
Their best recruiting class ever, likely one of their highest win totals ever, and a good possibility of making the CFP in year one…yeah, those port bastards.
This pile of BS is nearing politician territory.
I would hope he sees that with as well as he’s done, he will likely always be unable to ascend any higher at that school and would be willing to go elsewhere to give himself a better shot at getting to the next level.
When you are being paid the amount of $ Kraft is that is no excuse.
It’s easy to get a new guy if the AD is not Kraft. You or I could have done it.
Because even though the media isn’t always reliable, they usually don’t make things up out of thin air as well. Then throw in that the BYU coach has pretty much confirmed that there was discussions, I doubt he’s that much of a liar.
I mentioned him a couple of times but I don't have a personal relationship with Kraft so I'm not sure mentioning a name on this board means much.
It seemed easy enough for the other dozen or so P4 schools to replace their coach. We seem to be an outlier.
Um, many on here were against hiring Meyer (doesn’t know how to use NIL) and Freeman (he hasn’t been that impressive at ND). So I would say there’s been a ton of unrealistic expectations.
And yet they keep asking for $Let me give it a shot. The poster was saying that many people over the past decade have stated that they are no longer donating to PSU/Athletics in hopes the lack of donations would somehow influence what is happening at PSU/Athletics that they didn't like. However, over the past decade PSU/Athletics is still going strong and they are doing whatever they want regardless of the lack of donations from said posters withholding their donations. Secondly, unless you are donating a substantial amount to PSU where you may potentially have some influence, say $100K or more or some sort of endowment, then you really have no influence and your words are pretty much empty threats and meaningless to PSU/Athletics. Lastly, from what I understand about philanthropy at PSU, it is mostly the people that give the least that complain the most. So STFU - "posters words, not mine" - Hope this helps.
Please add:
1. He planned to let it go past the recruiting signing day.
2. He had nothing binding in place
3. He had no contingencies if something changed
4. He had also already gone past what made sense for the 2026 class
5. Rumor said he turned down a viable candidate prematurely.
Hence, he is an idiot.
Don’t forget the” he’s a little worried about working for Kraft”
And I’m sure some current Penn state players are coming via portal after this circus
