I listened to Zach Seyko's podcast last night. He said that PSU is all in on DeBoer at Alabama. He said that he was 100% confident that he was PSU's first choice but he didn't know if DeBoer reciprocated that interest. He was hoping Auburn would beat Alabama because that would have eliminated them from the playoffs and allowed him to make a move to PSU sooner. Then he surprised me by mentioning Lincoln Riley as a possible second choice.
New coach

- Start date
Correct. It’s not like East coast players are dying to go to BYU especially when they have no NIL. Had me sold when he got some studs to commit there instead of going elsewhere because they think he’s a great guy and good at developing players. Puka nacau speaks very highly of him.
If you watched Terry’s press conference after the game, you know he is not getting the job.
Is there any real smoke to Josh Heupel? Seems crazy but I guess from a "easier pathway to the playoffs" it makes some sense and Tennessee is kind of buried in upper tier of SEC teams with a lot of other schools without much distinguishing them (you could say the same for PSU I suppose, but I think its a relatively clearer situation in the Big Ten and also less immediately recruiting competition in the local area). Also Heupal isn't a "good old boy" from the south so he might night have the attachment to there like some other SEC coaches.
I mean if Kiffin would leave Ole Miss for LSU, this doesn't seem that implausible.

Probably not going to happen but I’m a Brian Hartline fan to get hired by PSU.
Oops, it's hard to keep it all straight sometimes when you get your cult education from South Park.
I'm bored with the Penn State hiring at this point, I'm more interested in who Ole Miss is going to go after now. That should be an interesting one.
Promote Joe Cox immediately and have him try to keep the staff
I don't blame Kiffin for this approach. It's up to Ole Miss to find a solution. They've had weeks to plan
I thought that was pretty obvious watching Terry throughout the game and that probably was also reflected in how the team played. He seemed down so I'm pretty sure he's been told the isn't getting hired.
Take them for what they’re worth, but a lot of outlets have him as the favorite.
What I see is a coach who does what Kraft wants. He’s benched players for poor performance. He’s fired coaches for poor performance. He’s upset higher ranked teams. He’s had good seasons too. He looks like he has some qualities Franklin does not have, that would appeal to Kraft.
A coach from BYU with no ties to the east coast. Kraft is shi$$ing the bed big time. Just hire Hartline.
I’m sure he knows who he wants and is waiting on an answer….in the mean time, he has to keep interviewing in case that person says no. He can’t just snap his fingers and make someone take the job.
CBS reporting they are promoting their DC Golding to permanent HC. I guess he isn’t joining Lane in Baton Rouge.
Seems underwhelming, but I don't know enough about him. Just because it's not a big name doesn't mean it's a bad hire.
As is any guy with or without a microphone. But, Zach does have a degree from PSU in broadcast journalism. Focuses mostly on PSU football and wrestling. At times can be a little hot takish because he has a daily podcast, but I must say he did nail the Stan Drayton hire from the moment Ja’Juan Seider left for ND.
Gotta give them props for having a plan and going with it. Unlike, the perceived clown show we are witnessing.
Pete Golding. Damn, just think Penn State could hire Al Golden and probably be better off than that at least.
It would be a mistake for PSU to not sign Chesney. I think he would do better at PSU than at UCLA. I don't believe UCLA is willing to make the same $ commitment and Oregon, USC, and Washington are more entrenched in west coast recruiting.
I have a hard time believing that so many coaches "turned us down". Could be the blue and white glasses, but I think it's more likely that the person has been locked in and Kraft is waiting for something (end of regular season, CCGs, etc.) to make the announcement.
I'd be happy with Chesney or DeBoer but at this point I have ZERO clue as to what is really going on with the search and want it to end so the new coach can get started trying to salvage recruits and work the portal. I'm doubting whether I can believe much of anything I hear or read here... the stories are changing way too frequently.

That’s been my take. If you aren’t getting a hire like DeBoer - which always seemed unlikely - then Chesney is a solid option. Honestly I like him more than any of the SEC hires (except Kiffin who I couldn’t see at PSU).
Think about who you are talking about and Ole Miss has been a shoe in for the playoffs so a decision had to happen and was forced. Krafty probably telling Chesney we will wait a week for you but if you do get in we need you to leave.
Kiffin takes LSU job, won't finish year with Rebels
Lane Kiffin is the new coach at LSU, and he will not continue with Ole Miss on its College Football Playoff run as the Rebels promoted Pete Golding to head coach.

“"After a lot of prayer and time spent with family, I made the difficult decision to accept the head coaching position at LSU," Kiffin said in a statement Sunday.”
I don't want Riley. He could win in the crappy Big 12 but not B10. Look at the resources and recruiting area yet USC is not great. Franklin 2.0.
