And Purdue, Nebby, UCLA, NW, Minny, Wisky, Rutgers, Maryland, Iowa, Michigan State are good? The B10 is not so hot.

What are we going to beat them with - walkons??? You still have to have a playing roster - some of you idiots don't realize that we are in a situation where we not only don't have a coach, but we don't have team even when we finally do get a coach (the exceptions being the naming of Terry Smith or Chesney as coach).

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.
Maybe he needed to lecture himself that he waited to half time or mismanaged the game at the end.

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
Kraft didn't want Chesney so move on. Brohm? He would have been announced. If not Sitake then probably Diaz.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
Okay who is it then? Diaz?

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.

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?
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.

In your opinion, and taking with your boys, was Sitake the "unkown candidate"?

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.

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.

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

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.
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.

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
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.

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
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.

He seems like a good coach but just didn't seem like a good fit.

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.

Next someone is going to claim we offered Joey McGuire since Texas Tech just extended him.

When all other contorted explanations fail the chuckle test - go with the obvious one.
I think he’ll announce after the national title game
