I've always supported the coach and staff. Up to and beyond when my head scratching left me with no hair.
I don't have that type of strength but if I did, oh well.
Who is in the picture at this point?
Based on what? Cignetti?Chesney seems to be closer to Nick Saban, than the remaining candidates who I can't tell from Nicki Minaj.
And Purdue, Nebby, UCLA, NW, Minny, Wisky, Rutgers, Maryland, Iowa, Michigan State are good? The B10 is not so hot.
Sitake was better...and he's never actually won. People just want to complain IMOI'm not saying he's Saban. I am saying, based on the rumored candidate pool, he's got one of the highest potential upsides. Winners win.
Maybe he needed to lecture himself that he waited to half time or mismanaged the game at the end.LOL, yeah, Knowles, the guy Smith had to lecture at halftime of the Indiana game. Knowles is gone and is certainly not head coaching material.
Yeah, no. You really don’t seem to understand how any of this works.Maybe he needed to lecture himself that he waited to half time or mismanaged the game at the end.
Kraft didn't want Chesney so move on. Brohm? He would have been announced. If not Sitake then probably Diaz.Daboll seems like a disaster nonsensical hire. Sign Brohm or Diaz or Heartline. Or ideally pivot back to Chesney and nab him before it is official with UCLA
We'll find out but I think you're all letting false stories leaked by agents to get money overwhelm youSomeone again yell at me because I say Kraft never had a plan......
Absolutely no one is locked in. Sitake was the guy Kraft has been working on for two months. Kraft thought it was getting done then it wansn't then it was again then it wasn't then Kraft upped the offer now we wait. IMO there is no one else waiting in the wings except Terry Smith. It's do or die time for Kraft. Kraft missed the perfect time to announce Smith no it's a boondoggle for Kraft if he does.I can't understand how/why Kraft would have let Chesney get away. He interviewed poorly? Color me suspicious.
He's either got someone locked in (waiting to announce this Sun/Mon) or the leading theory of incompetence is true. The former would suggest the Sitake stuff is all a smokescreen.
id rather have DabollMaybe we can steal Virginia techs coach?
Fair points, but whomever is taking the job understands what he’s walking into at this point, especially if part of the reason for the tumult is on them for asking PK to wait.
Wow. Absolute nonsense. Yeah that’s it; Kraft hasn’t hired a coach because Franklin’s agent is putting the screws to him. Just saw an article on ESPN claiming Sitake informed BYU he is staying.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.
Okay who is it then? Diaz?See, this seems like the best news of the day to me. Finally something breaking PSU's way. Now we can move on from this idiocy - assuming that us negotiating with Sitake were true to begin with - and actually get someone on board immediately.
I was extremely worried that we would actually be doing back and forth with Sitake for the next week which is pretty much the worse scenario possible.
what false stories? National Media, led by Pete Thamel, just released that Sitake has informed people that he is staying.We'll find out but I think you're all letting false stories leaked by agents to get money overwhelm you
I was a big proponent for Brohm until I watched one his last losses. The team had about 5 personal fouls in the 2nd half and looked totally undisciplined.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?
In your opinion, and taking with your boys, was Sitake the "unkown candidate"?Absolutely no one is locked in. Sitake was the guy Kraft has been working on for two months. Kraft thought it was getting done then it wansn't then it was again then it wasn't then Kraft upped the offer now we wait. IMO there is no one else waiting in the wings except Terry Smith. It's do or die time for Kraft. Kraft missed the perfect time to announce Smith no it's a boondoggle for Kraft if he does.
Who says he ever had an offer from us?what false stories? National Media, led by Pete Thamel, just released that Sitake has informed people that he is staying.
Fun Fact: No school that fired a coach with agent A, ever hired another agent A coach immediately after. Basically, no Sexton Client will be the next coach.Anybody who is a Richie Sexton client is not coming to PSU. Chesney was a client; all the recent SEC coach hires are clients. PSU has to find someone outside college football or a current coach who is not a client of Richie Sexton.
How do we KNOW Krafft countered? Did he say that or did that come from an agent looking to get more $?The Sitake stuff was not a smokescreen. Kraft even countered today.
Yes, Kraft is failing horribly right now.
I think the board or pres need to step in remove Kraft from his role and name Terry HC. We’ll look to hire an AD in 2026 and then see how Terry does next fall. Let the new AD make the call on the HC position then.
I am pretty confident we offered Sitake and this was not an agent speak situation. In fact we thought we had him. Almost every insider has reported this.Who says he ever had an offer from us?
Rhule, Cignetti and countless others that got extensions were never in play for us. Never contacted.
Well that would be huge if Krafty can steal Chesney. I thought he gone but maybe we still have a shot. If possible it would need to go down in the next 24 hours.Has there been an official announcement by UCLA? I ask because could it be possible that it is not final and PSU might still be able to sweep in?
Getting Chesney is IMHO the best case realistic scenario at this point
Think Daboll would be a lousy hire but Saban claims he was a good recruiter when he was an assistant at Alabama for whatever that’s worth.It probably falls to Daboll at his point. Has a relationship with Pegula and apparently his kid(s) attend PSU. Has almost zero skills as a high end recruiter
Been reported by on3 earlier today…How do we KNOW Krafft countered? Did he say that or did that come from an agent looking to get more $?
Lol at hiring Terry...just stop
Hoping Chesney still. Otherwise I guess Hartline and Diaz.I have the same question. Buehler ? Anyone ?
And that information came from...I am pretty confident we offered Sitake and this was not an agent speak situation. In fact we thought we had him. Almost every insider has reported this.
That doesn't make it a fact...that's a rumor they heard and believe it to be trueBeen reported by on3 earlier today…
He seems like a good coach but just didn't seem like a good fit.See, this seems like the best news of the day to me. Finally something breaking PSU's way. Now we can move on from this idiocy - assuming that us negotiating with Sitake were true to begin with - and actually get someone on board immediately.
I was extremely worried that we would actually be doing back and forth with Sitake for the next week which is pretty much the worse scenario possible.
There was no mystery candidate that was chum in the water. Satake had been mentioned on this board before a the so called mystery candidate appeared here. I think the mystery candidate stuff was put out by the Three Amigo's on the pay site.In your opinion, and taking with your boys, was Sitake the "unkown candidate"?
I think he’ll announce after the national title gameWhen all other contorted explanations fail the chuckle test - go with the obvious one.
Anybody who is a Richie Sexton client is not coming to PSU. Chesney was a client; all the recent SEC coach hires are clients. PSU has to find someone outside college football or a current coach who is not a client of Richie Sexton.
We hope.Fun Fact: No school that fired a coach with agent A, ever hired another agent A coach immediately after. Basically, no Sexton Client will be the next coach.
I believe that is correct.Marcus Freeman…..next HC at OSU when Day leaves.
