At this point I'm asking myself is Brian Dabol today's Bill O'Brien?
I say let them jump.Some of the reactions in here are a bit disturbing. I think some people need to step away from the ledge and make an appointment with their Dr.
No OBrien was a better NFL Head CoachAt this point I'm asking myself is Brian Dabol today's Bill O'Brien?
The "insiders" are full of ****. Anybody who believes anything they say should go see a shrink.The insiders have been wrong before but cheese and rice if it is Daboll he should have been hired a couple of weeks ago!
Seems to be some similarities in the two situations. I recall people being convinced it was Gruden, and then Peterson was in play along with some others, and then they finally settled on BOB out of the blue. I think the general response was, "who"?At this point I'm asking myself is Brian Dabol today's Bill O'Brien?
In answer to "Do you really want a coach who bails on Alabama after two years?"
Yes. That Bama fan base is rabid. Many years ago they had a coach named Bill Curry. Curry had an 11-1 season. His only loss was to Alabama's in-state rival Auburn. Curry had a brick thrown through his window, and fans were calling for him to be fired and he was basically run out of town. A couple of years ago an Alabama fan poisoned a couple of 80 year old oak trees that Auburn fans would meet at after football games, because Auburn beat Alabama in the Iron Bowl. The trees died. They have unrealistic expectations down there. Already their fans are saying that "DeBoer ain't our guy." DeBoer was also very unhappy with the fans after they booed their kicker when he missed a field goal. Alabama is not a good match for DeBoer. Also, Patrick Kraft is an Indiana alumni and DeBoer was the OC/QB coach at Indiana in 2019.
BOB was an assistant in the NFL before coming to PSU, correct?No OBrien was a better NFL Head Coach
Big difference in coordinators and head coachLOL so if Hartline interviewed with PSU and USF ..so either Kraft or Hartline said no. Question if Hartline said no and said yes to USF something is very wrong here and by the way this puts to bed 'about any coaches waiting for playoffs to finish' before they announce
Yeah but he was a better HC with the Texans than Daboll was with the Giants.BOB was an assistant in the NFL before coming to PSU, correct?
Hadn’t heard that ? Who are the ten?After 10 others coaches turned down the job you would take him right now. Brilliant.
Only a bigger idiot would run a 10 win coach out of town and then wait two months for a coach who is not even coming. How is that working out for you? The AD negotiating with Sitake implies Deboer was not coming.
That’s who I was comparing him to in my mind. BO’B seemed to hate coaching in college when he arrived here but it was the only job he could find at the time. Could definitely see Daboll punch a windshield or two after having to deal with our BoT.At this point I'm asking myself is Brian Dabol today's Bill O'Brien?
Headline: Pat Kraft to hold open tryouts for head football coach
![]()
This is up there with the worst AD botched mess I can think of. There is no way he can survive this. You don't fire a guy from a program like this mid season without a backup plan already in place. Its just a desination job right now.
You can't tell me that the plan was to not have a coach in place for signing day.
I gotta admit, “Who?” was my initial response. lol.Seems to be some similarities in the two situations. I recall people being convinced it was Gruden, and then Peterson was in play along with some others, and then they finally settled on BOB out of the blue. I think the general response was, "who"?
More like checkersKraft is playing 5D Chess - haven't you heard?
Are we better off?
Well…let me put it this way. Even in our current situation, PSU has a better chance of winning a NC in the next 8 years than VT will with BGJ at the helm.Are we better off?
At this point I'm asking myself is Brian Dabol today's Bill O'Brien?
The disaster started from the jump, when Kraft left Franklins general manager in the office to poach the whole class of 26
Well…let me put it this way. Even in our current situation, PSU has a better chance of winning a NC in the next 8 years than VT will with BGJ at the helm.
so…yes
ok honest question who are the head coaches vying for playoffs that are keeping it mum they are hired at good ole state?Big difference in coordinators and head coach
With more certainty than VT is going to win one with BGJ.Insert eyeroll - this is beyond delusional. How precisely is PSU going to win a National Championship with walk-ons?
I would like to thank all of you and all Penn Staters for their support of Penn State Football over the years and trust that you all will support this difficult decision. Now I will open it up to questions.”
Is it going to be Dabol or Brohm??? Krafty has to get this done ASAP.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?
Reports: Jeff Brohm to Stay at Louisville, Shoots Down Push From Penn StateIs it going to be Dabol or Brohm??? Krafty has to get this done ASAP.
Either one is better than BGJ or Terry Smith.
Just end this circus and get one of these guys.
He was also a better NFL coach than Nick Saban.Yeah but he was a better HC with the Texans than Daboll was with the Giants.
Sad but probably true.ok honest question who are the head coaches vying for playoffs that are keeping it mum they are hired at good ole state?
at this point I have zero confidence in this administration.I'm thinking at this point it's going to be completely out of left field. It could be a good hire over time, but we are probably not going to to like it initially.
Yes, everyday and twice on Sunday.Do you really want a coach who bails on Bama after two years?
Nope. This is the status quo for PSU. Were you alive in 2011?It’s unbelievable that nobody in PSU leadership even attempts to put out a statement to the fans, alumni etc about where things stand and when this will be resolved. Yet these same people want every penny from you to keep a competitive roster?
Most on this site have already decided they don't like it, regardless of the selection.I'm thinking at this point it's going to be completely out of left field. It could be a good hire over time, but we are probably not going to to like it initially.
Well, I'm not sure at this point it would do any good or be respected by anyone who counts. I just surfed all over the net something I never do for reactions to our situation, Bendapudi and Kraft are literally being trashed everywhere PS is mentioned. They have become the PS evil doers in cyberspace.It’s unbelievable that nobody in PSU leadership even attempts to put out a statement to the fans, alumni etc about where things stand and when this will be resolved. Yet these same people want every penny from you to keep a competitive roster?
