New coach
- Thread starter NOYDB
- Start date
I'm telling you guys, you are going to be absolutely over the moon as soon as you see this guy's results on the field. Like I said we need a coach not a name. This dude is a straight up ball coach. He is literally the anti-Franklin.
Yes Sir. Great playoff run this year, just ran into one of those recruiting machines in Farrell last week unfortunately. But a fantastic program run completely on local kids and no outside area recruiting, a rarity these days in Pennsylvania school ball.
Got to see KC two times in my life, when they lost in a blizzard in Erie in 97 to a LOADED Wilmington team at the buzzer, and in 01 they got upset by Sharon. Nice program.
10th on who’s list? Yours? The media? Do you know who was interested in the job in the first place, who did well in interviews? Do you even know for certain Chesney is the guy or only candidate?
Certainly not. I had no idea that Fitzgerald or Al Golden were candidates or even people anyone still knew the names of. Didn't know that until a few days ago.
Thanks! Yeah I always liked him but then really got on board last week. His qualities are off the charts. Again, seems to figure out every level he’s at within 2 seasons. He’s ready for the next level! (Whatever team that is). And really some of these coaches only have 2 years at a bigger school before they really hit the big time. If that’s the case, why can we just take Chesney now and I think by year two we’ll see really good progress. (I get it, DeBoer is in play)

Haha yeah good analogy. Seems like he’s had to adapt along the way and figure out many different kinds of situations. That bodes really well. He’s probably a real grinder. Dad said he’s been obsessed with football since he was born.
Josh Allen at Halftime: 11/15, 88 yards, 0 TDs, 1 pick
Joe Brady, huh?
Joe Brady, huh?
I have been to Karns City and East Brady numerous times. But I never realized they were close together.
I watch a bunch of high school games on YouTube. I love watching KC games. Nothing better than old school power running.
I’m sure you have, but if you have not, go watch Bob Chesneys full JMU introductory press conference. I was really impressed! He actually seems very similar to Franklin in a lot of ways, except he’s a much better version. (He wants to develop the players as people, believes in academics, believes in the family atmosphere)
Drinkwitz would be a disappointing hire. Is Kalshi another Sekrah? How do these people come up with their code names? Kalshi, LOL. Is that kinda like the cereal, Kashi Go Lean?

Whether a hire is a homerun, triple, double, etc. will actually be determined by results on the field next few seasons, not how people grade the initial hiring.
job.Biggest takeaway for me is rise of KDB from basically nil to second
Fitzgerald is probably the only one on that list who would have lost to Northwestern this year, and that's just because he's a Northwestern fan.
I'm hearing that the PSU Lettermen told Krafty Kraft that they don't like any of the available candidates and (in honor of the way they were coached at PSU) are going to step up to fill the void in 2026.

Still no because Terry most likely would still be the PS HC at that time, not that he's going to be the hire because he's probably not.

Joe has one of the greatest big game record in history. Including tne best in bowls and even better in the biggest bowls.
Franklin? One of the worst!
Uber clown analysis on my a 110% accurate post. The proof is in the results.post
Spoken like a joebot. Joe being great is irrelevant. He is dead. You won't be happy til Joe's corpse is introduced at the press conference.
Franklin is nowhere near the worst. He finished in the top 10 multiple times vs most coaches who never crack the top 20 like golden, rhule, schiano and O'Brien.
Rhule has never beaten a team that finished in the top 20 ever!

While true, Chesney would have a whole new level of recruits available (3-5 star guys), way more money to operate, and a big name school behind him.
He is probably the biggest risk of those 3 you listed. But potentially the highest ceiling. He is a proven winner everywhere he has gone.
So by this logic any p4 coach was better than Cignetti until he took the Indiana job. It’s impossible to be a better coach if you don’t coach at the highest level? Because I know some pretty awful coaches in D1 right now and I’d take a Chesney or Cignetti over all of them.
PSU also just got rid of one of the worst in game coaches in the sport. JF was laughably awful in game. I’d rather take my chances with a Chesney.
Not only was Franklin a horrible in game coach, his track record in hiring offense coordinators was dreadful.

Kirk Ciarrocca
Mike Yurcich
Andy Kotelnicki
Ricky Rahne
Franklin’s only successful offense coordinator was Joe Moorhead. That’s a hit rate of one out of six which is awful.
False... PSU beat #6 at the time and #4 at the end of year OSU in 2005 and beat #10 OSU at the time of game and #9 at the end of season OSU in 2008. Are you just making things up, assuming no one will check your facts? Pathetic!

Well, you are right, he doesn't have the worst record in history, only 3rd worst.
The Nittany Lions fell at home in double overtime to Oregon, dropping Franklin to 4-21 at Penn State against AP top-10 opponents, including 1-18 against top-10 Big Ten teams in conference games. Franklin's .160 winning percentage against AP top-10 teams is tied for the third-worst record by a coach (minimum 25 games) at a single school since the poll era began in 1936, according to ESPN Research. Penn State has not defeated a Big Ten top 10 opponent since knocking off Ohio State in 2016.
To piggy back onto this, Joe and that 05 team don’t get enough credit for that Ohio State win.
Go look up that team’s (Ohio State 05) hit list. Losses to the national champion at the very end of the game and the white out. But wins galore against ranked teams, and not just wins but often times blowouts. Has to be on the very short list this century of best team that didn’t win a title. It was every bit as dominant an Ohio State team as any of them.
