Last I checked, bigotry and hatred are alive and well in the Penn State fan base.
When he brings 5 star QB Ryder Lyons with him, maybe you'll feel better.
No, he's a scumbag for the **** he and his lacky's who are leaving with him pulled weeks before he was even fired. You know full well about those things as they have been very well discussed on this board. Things that people like to ignore.
If he brings a bunch of pipe hittin’ Tongans and other Pacific Islanders, though. That demographic is no joke - we won’t be light on the D Line - that’s for sure
Please go look what his highest recruited class ever was.
At BYU
I have serious doubts about this whole thing nothing I have a word on or can prove but it just doesn't smell right. I think I would be looking another direction and probably not Heuple.
I have no clue why anyone cares about his religion
JF wants to win badly with the kids he's poached from PSU. IT WOULD BE A DOUBLE FINGER to all of Penn State
Hopefully they realize he's using them--they won't though--still don't know if Drew learned that lesson
Exactly! I’m tired of reading about a Coach’s religion. JoePa was an Italian American Catholic from NY, who the eff cares (Btw I’m an Italian-Irish Catholic woman yinzer who hates Notre Dame University). There are many PA residents who are from The Church of the LDS. Western PA has a very large church near Cranberry and state college has a church too. Just burn the white smoke and let’s get a coach. Btw, I like the BYU coach after reading lots about him.
I don't care if he is Mormon. Can he recruit, manage the portal, attract elite QBs and WRs and have a physical win at the line of scrimmage culture that he instills?
Sitake may have used us but I don't believe for a second we were using him as a decoy (or have any reason to use anyone in that way)
Some use "culture" instead of saying reigion.
I like you even more now that I know you are a ND hating Yinzer!
I think it's infinitely easier to transition from that to this and now recruit without those obstacles. He's coached at Utah and Oregon State. This isn't his first experience with a party school if he accepts or is offered.
Do you realize how much crap we read on these boards is false?
In fairness, regional cultural fits are definitely a thing (which is relevant in this case), but I fully agree with you on everything else.
Fair enough…didn’t mean to suggest it was intentional. Rather they keep interviewing right up until the announcement to allow our guy to finish his job without distractions.
Hartline makes the most sense to me based on how things have gone to this point. He’s likely been a hard guy to pull away from his alma mater, so contingencies have been put in place (waiting until he’s ready, etc) to ease the separation from a place that seemingly means a lot to him.
Deboer coached at Indiana for one year and eastern Michigan 2 years that’s not exactly east coast/DMV area. He also had no ties in the south before Alabama hired him.
He spent 1 year at Oregon State and Utah is absolutely not a party school. It has a dry campus and over 80% of the students are commuters.
Have you been to UU? There's tons of drinking and parties just like every other major state university. At least you didn't try to argue Oregon State
