New coach
- Thread starter NOYDB
- Start date
Eh... we've had BOT members for years that have needed indicting. Nothing new.
It’s not ideal. But, it gives us a bridge to get through the coaching hire. Losing the recruiting class isn’t the death sentence that it would gave been a couple of years ago.
How are we feeling about the search now? Less optimistic? I wish you were right. I wish it was Chesney and it was announced a few days ago.
Should use some of that money he extorts from schools to buy some tirzepatide (Zepbound).
Jimbo Sexton - This guy is a real tool
He’s the Drew Rosenhaus and Scott Boras of college football.
Isn’t that lane Kiffin without Ozempic and hot yoga ?

I said Franklin would be a thorn in our side recruiting at VT. I was laughed at and told Penn State recruits itself. Well, how’s that working out for us right now?

This one hurts.

Diaz, with a 36-25 record. Great hire. Watch, he'll get an extension from Duke and we'll have to get a HS coach.
I’m surprised he didn’t as well but also thankful. Indiana will go back to obscurity in a year.
Landon Tengwell made a case today in a video prior to the bad news that the next coach has a more difficult job than Bill O’Brien did with roster decimation and lack of recruits. This situation is again putting us in the history books, and there wasn’t even a scandal attached to this one. There’s going to be very few willing candidates to take this job.
Is that really him? I think the ton is correct, I’m doubtful about the sex.

Are you saying we didn’t just go all in on Sitake to get denied? You believe this is all a smokescreen?
A whole class torpedoed, portal about to be the same, and no closer to a coach.
I’ve been saying this for days now. This is a big deal. We were led to believe that Kraft fired Franklin so that he could hire a coach that could get PSU over the hump and wing B1G titles and National Championships. Instead, PSU will be rebuilding from the ground up like 2012-2015. Maybe PSU fired the wrong guy? Maybe they should have fired Kraft?
As sure as I was that firing Franklin was the right move, I’m equally sure about firing Kraft. Unmitigated disaster.
If Sexton really is representing all these coaches, he probably would rather, at this point, throw his weight around and embarrass Kraft for firing his golden boy CJF. Besides, Kraft has to hire somebody, eventually, and no doubt Sexton will be involved with whoever Kraft hires.
You mean like an ACC school should normally beat a Sunbelt team. JMU’s only loss. What’s L’Ville’s excuse for going 4-4 in a very weak ACC?
What “high value” targets were ever available? Outside of Kiffin, has there been any particular high value hiring anywhere?
Well to be honest, there is probably a larger contingent that will spin any hire other than Saban in to an absolute disaster.
I told you fools that this situation was mishandled. The biggest dingleberries were too busy accusing me of being a Franklin-lover to see what could happen handling it this way.
This is embarrassing. I wouldn't, in any way shape or form, ever want Sitake ... he didn't make a lick of sense here, and this opportunity *should* have been way above what he has earned (he was in danger of getting canned a few years into his BYU tenure before righting the ship) ... and even he's like "nah, I'll stick with this niche program instead."
I sure as hell hope they can pull a rabbit out of the hat, but right now, this is just potentially program-killing ... well, not killing, but a huge, huge setback. We could end up with very few quality players, now (retaining players) and the near future (recruiting classes) ... except we'll have to pay out of the nose for some mercenaries ... and now we have a stench that no coach wants to be here.
I mean, this is worst than I imagined.
Could this end up rivaling the basketball programs current situation? Or can Krafty work some magic?

I’d be as happy as a puppy with two tails if they named Hartline tomorrow. Now, they put whomever takes the position into a gigantic hole to dig out of, so someone like Hartline may not want this gigantic clusterf^ck as their first head coaching job.
Hartline is out of it completely, not even being considered. I even think I had heard he was told as much. The Hartline thing is not happening.
Hey they just beat the Campbell Fighting Camels tonight and are 8-1!
(yes, they have beaten no one)

That's the thing. 3 days ago this was a very good job and one that should have had plenty of potential candidates. You just needed to pick the best one and sign them to announce on Sunday.
Now, after putzing around for days unnecessarily, this job has plummeted in value and will be much tougher to sell to a candidate for coach.
