That’s fine.
Whomever is the flavor of the day, Gunsie changes his mind more than he changes his underwear. He is the ultimate band wagon fan
Daboll coached college ball for one season at Bama in the last 20 years. He had good QB play (Hurts, Tua) but how much was really due to him? 90% of Daboll's accolades came when he was on the staff of some of the best coaches in history, it's hard to say how much of an impact he's had. Since taking over the Giants they have steadily gotten worse each season.
Which should count for absolutely ZERO during this coaching search.
Every argument for Daboll is an argument for Bill O’Brien in my opinion. Not that he’s right or wrong but he’s a more achieved Daboll.
O'Brien greater than Daboll
I never said what he accomplished against OSU and Michigan was good enough…I said what he accomplished overall was good enough.
If we happen to make a lame bowl, let's hope for the Pop Tarts bowl. Then they can unmask the pop tart mascot at halftime and reveal our new coach to the world.
We've been over this so many times. The OSU teams that played Franklin's PSU teams were consistently significantly better than the majority of those Paterno faced.
I don't understand how so many of you keep saying this is a mess? What did you expect, we hire Saban one day after firing Franklin? PSU is not a top 5 job in college football, it's borderline top 10. We were never going to have a line of elite coaches at the door to Kraft's office begging for the job, and there are only 3-4 elite coaches out there to begin with. I don't get the outrage at all, from day one you all should have expected this search to take until December and with all of the other opening should have expected a lot of coaches staying put but leveraging the openings for new contracts. This is going exactly as one would expect.
Not if A&M is offereing up another Jimbo-esque buyout he won't. I'd hope they learned their lesson.
What did you expect him to say? Hey we realize we are the 2nd or 3rd best team in the Big 10 so we want someone that's good enough to beat those teams once every few seasons? Our goal isn't national titles, it's to just be invited to the party! Woo, come to Penn State!
Nobody would give a crap about O'Brien if he didn't coach here before. I don't really care if the next guy has PSU ties. In fact I think I'd prefer that he doesn't. PSU needs fresh perspectives and new blood instead of leaning on their history and continuing to live in the past.
This is spot-on. They were never going to hire a coach in 2 weeks and the next coach could be someone that nobody is even thinking of right now. A lot could happen
O'Brien knows our boosters and fans. I doubt that wild horses could drag him back to PSU
Less than zero. Pat Fitzgerald’s name even being brought up here is ridiculous.
You can’t convince the worshippers of that. It’s like talking to the wall.
That sounds like a no win proposition. For his sake, I hope he declines it.
Our resident expert Lando was convinced that Elko was working on a deal with us no matter how much I told him it wasn’t happening.
They’re not out, they could pull an OSU from last year.
He could be the fall back. It is evident the players think alot of him. Can he bring in big time portal players and regather the 2026 class?
I get it but they have been crucifying him after every loss since he took over. It’s Alabama from the Saban era. You don’t lose more than one game a year.
