New coach
- Thread starter NOYDB
- Start date
Plus with Pavia at QB and Jerry Kill as a consultant not sure how good Lea actually is.I am personally not a huge fan of Lea after looking at his record. The justification to hire him is just this season, which isn’t even done. Franklin had a much better résumé coming from Vandy to PSU.

A lot of LSU people thought he deserved some credit but not as much as he got. We need a college coach.
Thanks for that info. Definitely reason for dropping off the list.
I don't know if you're being serious, but I think that he's the best player in the NFL right now. If he didn't play on that team, the Bills would be at the Jets' level.
I agree wholeheartedly regarding Josh Allen. The problem with the bills is that Joe Brady cannot scheme his WR’s to get open and he only runs a set number of base plays, some being too gimmicky. It is very similar to AK and PSU. There are many calling for Brady and the HC to be fired. Brady is a hard hell no for PSU!
I see the rumors are flying about Lincoln Riley leaving USC. This guy wins and produces some well coached talent.
What do you guys think about him? We would have load up an armored car and dump a ton of cash at his feet.

Hard pass. Not sure what he brings versus Franklin. He has not succeeded with the resources at USC.
And every other coach was poor versus those two teams.
But we still beat them….not like the run we had against OSU. Of course we should be used to losing to Michigan.
The love affair with Diaz is puzzling. He has been unable to achieve such success in the weaker ACC either with Duke or Miami
The win over deserves an asterisk. No starting qb no Marvin Harrison and no second string qb most of game.
I’ll never get used to the teams I root for losing to anyone.
Like Cig said Saturday, his team has never lost in State College.
OK, but how about some urgency ?
Class is nearing oblivion.
Nobody gave this some thought?
No need to panic just yet. You don't want a coach who is available right now. There's usually a reason that unemployed people are unemployed.
Signing Day is the second Wed. in February. There's still a little time to go.

Meh. I’m sorry but I don’t see why you fire Franklin and pay him $50 million then spend a fortune on a guy like Riley who has never taken a team further than Franklin did? Good offensive coach, mediocre defenses. He’s had plenty of talent and resources at USC and OK too. His teams have looked pretty average since joining the B1G.
The head coach will not be announced until after the regular season is done. In fact, depending on the target, we may not sign a head coach until playoffs done, that’s a bit too risky for me, but that’s a reality. We’re hoping to hear bits and pieces of who Kraft is interviewing, but realistically that is about all we can hope to learn. The reality is that we can miss on the recruiting class and hit big on the portal class in this era and be OK for next year.
If he beat Indiana, I would vote for Smith. There is no doubt that he has rallied the troops and has extracted more out of these guys than Franklin did. His mistake is that he did not force AK to throw the ball in the first half of that Indy game.
He has done no differently with Duke than Elko did.
I think the week of Dec 1 would be the time period if we are signing a non-playoff team hc. Tengwell‘s latest video indicates we should hear real rumors about the actual candidates during the Rutgers week.
Yeah, that's the word behind the paywall as well. Weekend after Thanksgiving, or a week later at the very latest.
I’ll have to tune in from the deer stand.
The thing with Riley is that he has a super offensive mind and clueless when it comes to defense. I don't think I want him at PSU especially for the money he would demand
It's not so much his being clueless about defense. It is the fact that his program(s) display a distinct culture of offense. Recruiting, attention to detail, likely NIL funds and the line are directed at the offense. D'anton Lynn should get the hell out of there while his reputation is intact
Get Chesney and be done with it. 3 reasons:
1) He’s young and aggressive.
2) He’s WON everywhere he was at.
3) And most importantly, he’s from Mount Carmel/ Shamokin (the Coal Region for you common folk). These people tend to be tough as nails. The “let’s hug it out” stuff would become extinct. We would see hard nose football instead of gloried flag football.
He would be a great fit.

Are there any coal region coaches that have been successful and won championships at the collegiate level? Like national championships
Lowering expectations .
He just made his pitch to be PSU’s next coach. Kraft is relieved and figures his NATTY.
PRESSER. will be forgotten by 2014.Failure is an option.
I've been on board with Chesney for a while now. A careful look at what he has done since Cignetti took the best JMU players (via portal) to Indiana shows a coach that was able to successfully adapt and overcome. Additionally he already has high school contacts in PSU's primary recruiting zone - DMV and PA. The large boost in NIL availability will help him with portal acquisitions. There could still be a few players on the JMU roster that can make the jump to P4 level.
I do hope Kraft has reached out if Brohm and Key are saying NO.

Sorry Pat, he's not your man.
No argument here. If they aren't going with a power 4 coach, which I think they will, I would have a coaching crush on Chesney or Golesh.
