New coach
- Thread starter NOYDB
- Start date
So by your reckoning I must be somewhere around 70 or so. lol
Zach smith. Earle Bruce nephew and former OSU asst coach under Meyer.
he was the guy who had the domestic abuse case against him
Right.Kraft’s next PRESSER.:
“Forget what I said before. James is still here. It’s all good.”
I guess we aren’t getting fickell.

It all starts with ”I love you” and ends with “you’re fired”!Is the goal to make friends or win?
See who has bye weeks coming up.I’m shocked it’s been a week and we haven’t seen 1 flight tracker thread yet.
Looks like the Raiders and UNLV have a bye.
Maybe Mullen and Pete Carroll can fly together.
I’m narrowing in on the idea that what PSU needs in a coach is someone who can inspire greater levels of NIL and attract better QB talent than what we normally get. Hopefully that combo exists and is available.
Of course those two characteristics alone do not get us over the hump, but they are critical and could be associated with other attributes the program needs to be strong in.

I have the impression that NIL and the like is better left to those admin/organizational types who are good at that, and the HC just makes the best uses of the dollars afforded him.
Not taking full advantage of what was given Franklin is one of the reasons he is gone. It's just my take but Franklin was too much of a psychologist and babysitter of egos with his players.
Unfortunately I think the answer to the first part, the NIL deals, is Rhule. I think that's who all of the pro Paterno boosters are going to push for with Kraft. I agree that I'd prefer and offensive coach and developer of QBs. I'm tired of watching PSU offenses look stuck in the mud when other programs bring in first year starters and make them look Heisman worthy immediately. PSU needs to break with history and start building a reputation as a program that can put QBs into the NFL. Yes, I know every QB under Franklin made it to the NFL but none of them ever did anything meaningful there.
Just a weird name to throw out, anyone gonna go after Jim Mora? Maybe not penn state, but my god has he done a good job at Uconn
I’m ok with that. Didn’t look good at OSU in 2011 and looks really bad at Wisky.I guess we aren’t getting fickell.

I’m still shocked.His offense at Nebraska looks like it’s trying to back up in mud. No bueno. OL is putrid.
He needs to call Elijah Robinson from Syracuse and add him to his staff..

I'm not disagreeing QBs have been a let down, but this NFL achievement=college success idea isn't born out in reality.
Which program currently has this reputation as a pipeline for QBs to make the NFL and do something meaningful when they get there?
CJ Stroud is the first OSU QB do ever do something in the NFL, ever. I think Collins may have better stats NFL stats than every former Buckeye qb combined. It's NFL bust after bust after bust.
Michigan? No
Bama? Saban is gone, and even then its Hurts who transferred out and Tua, who is going to be brain dead. The rest are busts.
Clemson? You've got Lawrence drafted in 2021 and Watson in 2017. The only other QB drafted under Dabo since 2009 is Tahj Boyd.
UGA? Nope.
LSU? Burrow was under Ed O. Daniels under Kelly.
Texas? Nope
USC? No, although you can argue it's Riley's reputation wherever he goes.
So we need to hire Lincoln Riley.
All good points. I think to be successful in college, it helps tremendously to be mobile.
Agree, that’s why I wouldn’t wanna be making the Coach decision. Kraft has a duty to find the guy. I can best put Penn State in position to win a championship, but is putting the team in the best position to win one due to having the best head coach or due to having 10 million extra dollars a year to get the best players?
I don’t know if the NIL $ flows in as much without Rhule
PSU alum members at work - one of them pretty tight w/ Hack - both say Rhule is the target. These guys know nothing though and Hack, well.
Joe has been dead for almost a decade and a half. I'm not sure I buy that there is this massive pot of gold at the end of the Paterno Booster Rainbow that Rhule somehow magically unlocks.
