We can't even be the #1 dumpster fire.
Someone tossed this name out there today: Satterfield. Hmmm...hadn't heard that name before, related to the PSU job. Certainly a 'safe' candidate. Not exactly a 'splash hire'. But are there any splashy guys up for this particular challenge?
They have talked and are talking also Key interviewed today.

Recall this story:
www.espn.com
I know that lsu is a public university, but how does this happen? The governor stepped in and interfered with the hiring process. Then, the AD was fired today.
Dumb question: Could this happen at PSU? PSU is STATE.-RELATED.
. Does that matter? Could the PA governor get in the way?
La. governor: LSU AD won't select football coach
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry told reporters Wednesday that LSU athletic director Scott Woodward won't be involved in selecting the Tigers' new football coach in the wake of Brian Kelly's firing.

He processed chicken?
Having worked at Perdue, Brohm doesn’t give his players antibiotics.
That tremor you feel is all his little minions marching back in to their holes after pining for his services.
He is going to leave his alma mater and a program he is doing great things at to come here? I don’t see it.
My only real issue is if Hartline came here and started to do really well in a few years and OSU decides to cancel Day, Hartline would probably go back in half a second, and at the top of OSU’s list.
Well, "all his little minions" (me included) will be happy to say, "See, Urbs coulda got us to a NC" after whoever Kraft hires flames out.
I suspect that if Urban did talk to Penn State, Kraft (and the rest of the admin) probably turned him off.
If he did talk to PSU it was probably in an advisory role, i.e., perhaps some names of potential candidates and what Meyer views as their strengths and weaknesses.
If he is the best candidate, that would be a terrible reason not to hire him.
Agree. Just like some, not you, who say we need to hire within next 30 days, even if means we are not getting the best candidate because we can’t wait longer.
Minion here. Not giving up hope. He has previously recommended Mullen for PSU and now Hartline for "his own" program. Hartline going back to OSU wouldn't scare me. I think Marcus Freeman is the next OSU coach. By the way, I have no inside info, no inside source and I dodn't get an email "that will make PSU fans very happy."
He did win the Big Ten West one year at a school that had essentially no success before or after him for several years.
But where would Ryan Day go that Freeman would replace him? Day is only 46 and he's won OSU a natty - he's there for the duration, I think. In fact, over his time at OSU, he's only lost a total of 5 games - two last year, when he won that natty.
If Hartline is cocky, and presumably arrogant along with that, I wonder how he would get along with Kraft. If Hartline had a bit more age and experience, like Kirby Smart did when he went to Georgia, I would be more apt to support him.
Wouldn’t be shocked to see Day in the NFL sooner than later.
Agree. "I don't have the desire" can easily change to "After meeting with the people at Penn State, I found myself thinking about it a lot. I couldn't turn my mind off about the possibilities." Or ... it could mean he doesn't have the desire to coach.
That's true. Although, college coaches often don't transition well to the NFL. (See Saban, Spurrier, and Meyer himself.) Day may not care if he's getting paid enough at OSU, but then again top college coaches are doing as well as NFL coaches these days as far as money goes.
Yeah, but BOB will demand his contract include unlimited windshield replacements.
If it's true that Key is being interviewed, then all these other names are probably not in the picture. Also, if it IS true that Key is being interviewed, then Kraft better get him because almost everything below him is a clear downgrade from Franklin.
Source is me? Do opinions now need sources on this board?

Oh - it’s a juicy and sordid tale of politics, cronyism, and power - Ross Dellinger does a nice job laying out the story behind the story…
The sordid tale of LSU football, the Louisiana governor and a yearslong feud
Even for Louisiana, a place with a history of jarring political acts and unusual public behavior, Gov. Jeff Landry’s unfurling this week has been a bizarre jolt. But the state's politics have long been uncomfortably intertwined with LSU football.
