Where did it go wrong with Chesney? What are the insiders saying? Seems like that was a layup hire.
New coach
- Thread starter NOYDB
- Start date
To verbal commitments which mean next to nothing...I get what you're saying but it's not a current concern IMO
Everything has changed because now as it turns out Sexton has/is sabotaging this process because we didn't handle small game James, 1-18 James, 4-21 James, after 12 years when this dbag couldn't even say he was committed to Penn State or wanted to coach here in a press conference, and tried an end run around the AD to get more money. Unbelievable. This guy Sexton is the God of college football and he dictates what happens based on whether his clients get whatever they want regardless of results. College football is an absolute putrid turd.
Kiffin, Chesney and Sumrall all signed already so no that's not what I said at all.
And if a coach in that situation isn't interested in signing now then absolutely yes you move on to someone you could have announced 2 days ago.
Yes, in 5 years VT will be a much better program than PSU. Not just because they have Franklin, but we won't have enough players to field a team next year. Wait until we hear about the mass exodus to the portal.
He also made it to the Semi-Finals of the first Major College Football Playoff. I doubt new guy ever wins a b1g title or makes it to a Playoff before he's sent packing given the hole Krafty The Clown is going to bury them in.
Once someone is hired, everyone who is a fan should spin it as a homerun even if you don't think it is. The support of the fanbase is absolutely necessary for any coach to succeed. Give the guy a chance before you assume he will be a failure. The problem will not be with the spin of eternal optimists, the problem will be with the spin of eternal pessimists.
To your point, I don’t believe Sitake is the right guy in this scenario. My point is that if you truly believe one guy is better than the next, then waiting absolutely trumps settling (patience being the virtue and whatnot).
Only thing I heard was that Kraft turned him down. Didn’t hear the specific reasons just that they were ridiculous. Then again that could be completely made up.
We survived a couple of years with 65 scholarship players and a black eye to our national reputation - deserved or not. It isn't the end of the world. We will have a coach and a good one. Maybe not the big name, splash hire everone wants, but it will be a solid coach.
It is interesting that there hasn’t been a peep from the lettermen about how this is going down. It’s the only thing that gives me the tiniest glimmer of hope that someone has been hired. Of course many of them might be working the back channels trying to get Terry the job.
If true, I'm about to jump on the Kraft blew it wagon. Should have done better than Sitake and now it's possible that he will do worse.
Sure, if he is negotiating with DeBoer I guess I could understand though I still think it is unwise - I'd rather go with the bird in hand but I tend to be a lower risk kind of person - but Sitake is indistinguishable from a bunch of other options.
That's crazy especially if your goal was to chase someone from Mormonville for weeks and then not close the deal
Who? Diaz? Al Golden? I would not call them solid coaches. Besides that, who is left? And after we see who portals, we may be lucky to have 50 scholarship players.
If only Penn State had someone , like maybe an athletic director, who would be tasked with managing such things and be responsible for understanding the climate and could build a plan about getting it done. With all the heads employed by intercollegiate athletics, maybe we can hire one of those?
If Sitake is really out then I would shift to Brohm or Diaz or try to poach Chesney (who doesn't seem to be "official" yet with UCLA)
I don't believe Sitake was ever in play...they were just working on an extension
Once a coach is hired? When will that be? You do realize that Sitake, Krafty The Clown's double-secret plan all along, just informed Krafty he's staying at BYU who gave him a big raise and another contract extension. It's becoming quite clear that the only way a new coach is going to be hired is by firing the inept, incompetent AD.
I can't believe UCLA is willing to invest in football the way some other B1G programs will. Chesney will also be at a recruiting disadvantage on the west coast vs Oregon, USC, and Washington.
He would have been an excellent fit at PSU.
Jeff Brohm. Great offensive mind, has always developed very good QBs and receivers, and he wins with less talent better than almost any coach in the country including Cignetti. He’s also a born and raised Louisville guy and is one of the few that hasn’t signed an extension yet
.What are the odds that Kraft is actually working FOR Sexton and Kraft gets a bonus every time he gets another coach an extension?
