I tend to agree with you although I feel like we aren’t in a position to be overly choosy right now.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.

No he doesn't. Krafty wants blue collar toughness and Riley wouldn't know that if it hit him.He has a 75M buyout
His name has been mentioned for a couple days now but it seems very unlikely
He does however meet the stated goals of Kraft
It’s called religious bigotry. Have the guts to say it.I haven’t seen one person bashing him. It’s just a surprising choice. Half his team is from Utah and there’s ONE player from the east coast.
For the record. I’m just having fun with you on Chesney. This drama has worn me down. Just hire him and let’s get started. Unless, Saban, DeBoer, or Meyer are walking through the door, I’ll take the upside with Chesney.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.
Will the bunt stay fair at least?lsu fired kelly after PSU fired Franklin. With that and the governor interference horse-a$$, lsu is set to make a home-run hire before PSU makes its bunt hire.

I still maintain--the plan was always Hartline if Elko and Urban said noI 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.
He can wait a week but can't wait until the end of the playoff--which is why the need to change "Signing Day"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.
I have been, Matt CampbellPeople on this board are hilarious
I don’t want Lincoln Riley, Heupel, kalani Sitake, Daboll etc. Who the hell do you guys want Kirby Smart or Sean Mcvay. People need to be realistic
You skipped SitakeI don't think it is Terry as he probably would be announced by now. Get through tomorrow and I think we are safely out of the woods on that one.
So who is left....
Urban? Nope would have been announced weeks ago
Daboll? Nope would have been announced
Drink, Key,Lea, Golesh, Sumrall.. all No
Who is left?
Chesney
Hartline
Brady
Stein
Kingsbury
Riley
Out of this list I think it comes down to Hartline or Chesney.
The clown show is real.Gotta give them props for having a plan and going with it. Unlike, the perceived clown show we are witnessing.
I honestly can't tell if you're serious but I'll admit I laughed. How much do you think the religious bigot Penn State fans hate Cael?It’s called religious bigotry. Have the guts to say it.

From the coaching carousel thread:

Michigan State plans to hire Pat Fitzgerald as next football coach
Michigan State football intends to hire former Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald after firing Jonathan Smith after two seasons.www.freep.com
For f*ck’s sake.
Picture half of the posters on here with their noses on the chalk line coaxing it into fair territoryWill the bunt stay fair at least?
For whatever reason it is for us. It may happen tomorrow or it will happen next Sunday.We already have seen both Kiffin and Sumrall announced (not sure if official but they’ll be confirmed soon enough) so being coach at a playoff team doesn’t seem like any sort of barrier to being announced today
That’s not how it works here, Freshman.try 6 seconds of google.
Report's say only Coach on the plane with Lane was his brother.CBS reporting they are promoting their DC Golding to permanent HC. I guess he isn’t joining Lane in Baton Rouge.
A Mormon isn't coming to Penn State.You skipped Sitake
I still don't think it's him but Chesney, Hartline and Sitake all would be delayed until next Sunday/Monday
Riley might be delayed until a BOT vote for the buyout
I’m trying to understand why it cannot be announced prior to their games? Just askingFor whatever reason it is for us. It may happen tomorrow or it will happen next Sunday.
Chesney or Hartline. Gotta be one of these two.
Cael Sanderson says hello.A Mormon isn't coming to Penn State.
Sounds discriminatory--why not?A Mormon isn't coming to Penn State.
Look at this way. Looking around college football with all the openings only one can be considered a HR hire and that would be Kiffin. Now most if not all traffic has been cleared from the runway leaving PS. So, when the announcement is made no matter who it is they may get maximum exposure that day. Not saying that's the holdup but just something to think about.If it was Terry Smith we'd know right now. Its not him.
Sounds discriminatory--why not?
Because he's staying where he is. How's everything in the hundred acre woods?
The wrestling coach is Mormon.A Mormon isn't coming to Penn State.
besides Franklin sucked... anyone we hire is going to do better here because Franklin sucks so bad. why the worry?
I'd settle for Andy Reid.People on this board are hilarious
I don’t want Lincoln Riley, Heupel, kalani Sitake, Daboll etc. Who the hell do you guys want Kirby Smart or Sean Mcvay. People need to be realistic
An exception. Not too many Samoans at Penn State.The wrestling coach is Mormon.
I don’t think they think on that level of complexity.Look at this way. Looking around college football with all the openings only one can be considered a HR hire and that would be Kiffin. Now most if not all traffic has been cleared from the runway leaving PS. So, when the announcement is made no matter who it is they may get maximum exposure that day. Not saying that's the holdup but just something to think about.
Not many Samoans (or anyone) are qualified to be the head football coach at Penn State and make 9M or more.An exception. Not too many Samoans at Penn State.
Why would any of them be delayed? Sumrall was announced today. Any sensible coach would want to be announced ASAP to start building momentumYou skipped Sitake
I still don't think it's him but Chesney, Hartline and Sitake all would be delayed until next Sunday/Monday
Riley might be delayed until a BOT vote for the buyout
