New coach
- Thread starter NOYDB
- Start date
I don't know if we're the laughingstock of the CFB, but our fans definitely overestimate PSU's current relevance in CFB. Fans hearkening back to a golden age of greatness is comfort for some but only proves the point concerning the current state of the program. PSU isn't, and hasn't been for [insert your opinion on the amount of time], the top tier program it once was. Still. Let's hope someone comes in and catches lightning in a bottle.
There is so much crap being thrown against the wall, not just here but by the media as well.
I saw Lincoln Reilly mentioned in an article yesterday.
People will throw out 10 names, then when it's one of them say "see, I was right"
Yep. Humans aren't good at predicting, but it doesn't stop them from trying.
Regardless of how it ended, PSU under Franklin since 2016 was clearly a top 7 to 8 program if not higher. God, Franklin had won something like the fourth or fifth most games since 2022 until this season. Also since 2016, regardless of what you think of bowls, since 2016, PSU played in two Rose Bowls, two Fiesta Bowls, a Cotton Bowl and an Orange Bowl, and won two playoff games and made it to a semi final.
If you want to say that PSU wasn't in the same class as a OSU, Bama, UGA or even Clemson or Michigan since 2016, then go ahead. However, that pretty much is where it stops. There are probably close to 130 D-1 programs that would give anything to have had the relative success that PSU has had since the 2016 season. Obviously, we're in a bad place now, but this program was thought of highly enough before this season, which turned out to be undeserved, to be the preseason #2 team in the country.
Finally, there's a reason why PSU plays in so many Noon Fox and Saturday night games; it's because that it has one of the biggest followings in the sport. So stop the garbage about how PSU isn't this or that; it still is one of the top brands in college football and, if the right coach is hired and does a good job and is given the proper resources, it should be back to being as strong as if not better than under Franklin.

Cheer up, Bob! We still have a chance against rutgres, your home state powerhouse.More likely to catch sh|t through a golden goose.
Bobs from New Jersey?
Suddenly I understand why he is so miserable.
We need a guy who is not scared of OSU and UM like Franklin was.
Yes, women in sundresses are disgusting. The more clothes they have to put on to stay warm, the sexier they are.
What a relief they don't need to worry about your attentions, right?
Keep your cold. Most would vote for no clothes, not more.
The lack of money at MD is the only thing that has kept them from firing him a couple years ago.
What kind of a$$hole at maryland signs a coach to a contract that the “school” can’t pay off? Everyone knows that a coach is not going to be successful at maryland.
There have been a couple coaches at MD that have been mildly successful. But you're right never going to be a power.
Indiana says hello.
Stick with being McAndrew's court jester. You are better at that.
