I don’t need to explain myself but I’m a gracious King so I will this one time for the JoeBots. This absolutely was Matt Rhules job to lose. I don’t make the rules, Kraft is his twin brother and they love each other. Rhule typically peaks in his 3rd season with a program, miscalculation. Nebraska sucks, forced Krafts hand. Now it’s time for Plan D, Chesney or Smith.
New coach
- Thread starter NOYDB
- Start date
Nobody knows which coach will fit which scenario. It's my opinion.
Chesney could be great and leave PSU for an SEC job? Are we really worried about a coach being so good that he leaves? Not seeing this as a big concern.

Go away, Chris. Slow day in Blacksbug?
Anyone who chooses the name KingoftheBigTen is self identifying as an enormous DB. I'm talking the king of DBs.
He would go for the ugliest girl at school just to get a yes.
He didn't have his entire team stolen but Cignetti poached the best players and more. Chesney had to regroup and rebuild and he didn't lose. Like you, I'm all in with Chesney knowing the risk.
Almost as bad as youth travel baseball
Well, does anyone know if any of those three have been contacted/interviewed? They certainly sound like credible candidates.
FWIW. I'm staying on the Chesney train until PSU selects another conductor and my ticket is no longer valid.
Word VERY EARLY is that Shanahan was reached out to and then almost immediately the word from several sources is that Kraft was, in no uncertain terms, wanting a sitting HC or someone not working (IE Urban) in order to not have a lost year on the field.
My 3 I said I wanted ALL THE WAY BACK to the UCLA week when we were doing hypotheticals, when asked for my candidates on this board plus a Wild Card were:
Chesney
Shanahan
Wild Card:
Bill O'Brien
There's more horseshitt around here than there is in the barns at Churchill Downs during race week.
One thing is for certain, there is not one person on this board who has any actual idea about the search for a new coach. It's all BS, rumors, and speculation mixed in with wish list candidates. Its great reading, but not factual.
Or youth travel any sport.
That's for sure but it's fun to play the game of reading about "potential" candidates, voicing our approval, disapproval and reasons. I can do without the name calling from some posters.
So nobody knows anything about anything? I feel like one of those dweebs in Average Joe's gym reading this thread.
I’m new here but from what I’ve gathered if you want to simply try to discredit something you don’t agree with just tell the person they have no factual way of knowing something and reduce their opinion to pure speculation. Try it.
It is unquestionable that Chesney can build a program and lead an organization; he has done that at multiple stops. The risk is whether he is able to successfully make the transition from the Sun Belt Conference to the B10. If PSU does not take him, UCLA will.
Its called a discussion board for a reason; its not called the newsroom. As for name-calling, dipshits will be dipshits. They are best ignored.
Truly, this seems to be the case. Even on the insider boards. Either this is the best kept secret ever, or crafty is still assessing candidates.
Another one off the table.

I never wanted Cignetti…never wanted Rhule…was curious about Urban and Lane but didn’t really want them either. These guys are all on the downside of their careers (not saying they’re bad, just we’ve seen everything they can do). That said, I’d really like DeBoer, even though he likely falls in the same category.
I’m most interested in the idea of catching a rising star. Someone who is an X’s & O’s guy who can develop talent (esp QBs) and can manage a game. Just because the current list isn’t the best know stars of the sport doesn’t mean they’re not the best candidates for the job.

What's the hurry, the season is almost over....LolMaybe Kraft hasn’t started yet.
That is the risk. I'm still all in on him if there is no mysterious homerun hire.
He’s still creating his list on an Excel sheet. Next, he’s going to import it into ChatGPT to get advice.Maybe Kraft hasn’t started yet.
I know I just posted earlier in the evening that nobody knows, but in all seriousness since then there is again a lot more smoke around Deboer this evening. Not the first time from insiders. This is either going to be him or more likely in my opinion Terry or Chesney. Both Deboer and Chesney are likely heading to the playoffs, so we will see how that works out. I don’t think the other candidates are on the table anymore. In fact, drink may be getting a contract extension or raise this week as the mizzou board has a meeting. Krafty did a great, great job getting the college football coaching world the money they deserve. 
And we wonder why the players want more money.

Right. It’s all just for funsies at this point. It’s make believe until we have a coach.
