New coach
- Thread starter NOYDB
- Start date
You've spent the last few YEARS spewing hate at anyone critical of BGJ, and you think a few days are going to balance that out? How precious. You will be seeing dead horses in your dreams for the next several years.
His mother was a mudder… loves the slop, eats the slop!He sucks horse?
It seems it is coming to that.Headline: Pat Kraft to hold open tryouts for head football coach
Yep, ultimately I think this is what it came down to... wasted time. It does sound like Kraft had real discussions with Elko, Deboer, and Sitake but he missed on all 3 and spent the whole search window wooing these 3 so when the last one fell apart yesterday there was nothing left. Now Kraft looks like a fool. And with every passing day whomever we try to hire has more and more leverage. Now we will end up playing a mid tier coach $12M a year because Sexton will put the screws to Kraft knowing there aren't any other coaches out there to hire. Those of you that thought we were overpaying Franklin (we weren't) are in for a rude awakening with the next contract.
maybe it's Franklin has the obsession - he had Crumbl Cookies at the VT signing day event as a jab at PSU for not getting Sitake - kind of a dick more by your hero.
I had opined from the start that Hartline won't accept the PSU job because it would be too much pressure for a new coach. At Blueblood schools like PSU and OSU, the demands are intense and the pressure unrelenting. These are places where you are expected to win every game and in the new CFP format, you will be expected to make the playoffs every season as well. Fans will not tolerate growing pains as the rookie adjusts to the HC role.
Hartline picked about as perfect a spot that can be picked for a rookie HC. The pressure is modest and the demands not through the stratosphere. Nobody expects you to win the Natty within a few years. Just getting to the playoffs in five or less seasons would make you a legend.

We'll see. I get that Hartline has a magical name when it comes to WRs-recruiting but he's only been calling offensive plays for 12 games now. I have to believe we end up with someone that is more capable than Hartline
Must be a horrible burden to go through life claiming that someone who disagrees with them is “spewing hate”. Grab your binky and blanky, head for mommy’s basement and assume the fetal position until you feel better and/or grow a pair. By the way, since you were criticizing me for reading comprehension issues you should bone up on yours since I said repeatedly since the day he was fired that I had no problem with the firing.
Why can't we do both? We can multitask.
Kraft has failed us thus far (hope it changes).
BGJ has acted and is acting like an ungrateful douche (what a shock).
I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbl's
PS is in his head, as much as Maryland was in his head. That's never a good thing, lack of focus,and
obsession with the past when the task at hand is running a football team.
I would like to know how many coaches out there never really liked him, i have two in mind and think
one of them could be our next HC.
Franklin is not my hero. But kind of juvenile to claim that Franklin trolling over cookies is a dick move considering how he and his family were treated by some fans after the Northwestern game. Here’s a suggestion on how to respond which I fully endorse hire a damn coach, win those Big Ten and Nattys said we’re the standard and then troll Franklin as much as you want.
Exactly I think most would have been fine with Hartline or Stein. Not sure if it was just Kraft or Neeli and the BOT saying the next HC had to have HC experience. To me it's a ridiculous requirement if they did. Now they or PK is paying dearly for it.
What do you expect them to say? "Sorry, our bad, we whiffed on all of our top 5 candidates for the job. But hang in there, we have a new list of
Actually, Josh Pate had predicted this would happen. The day after, he said there is very little chance that Penn State would find a coach commensurate with Penn State's status in the word of CFB.
He stated, I quote, "When the music stops, Penn State is going to be left without a chair and they will have to shop the refurbished goods in the basement"
Considering the amount of money these people earn, they absolutely should have put out a statement. I have no idea what it would say, but there are hundreds of thousands of alumni interested in this issue.
But that is not how PSU operates. Its all silence and let the national media drive the narrative.
And how’d that work out for us the last time they did that?
The best option at this point may be to give Terry a 5 year deal. We could probably get him to sign for less, while putting in some performance bonuses and structuring a smaller buyout. This would stabilize the roster, secure a great recruiter and provide an opportunity to bring all Penn Staters back into the fold again.
This is exactly correct. For nothing “official” to come out of the Athletic Department or above, is criminal.
True.
The thing I just don't get about Bendapudi, but first let me say I do not know the lady have never met the lady and only know one person who has met her, so I have no ax to grind where she is concerned. I see have read and heard that she is some special kind of ruthless and that she has been ruthless in her rise to where she is at this point in professional life. Given that the road apples are now beginning to splash up and stick to her she might want to put some of ruthlessness to good use where Kraft is concerned. If not outright fire him at least demand he make the easiest and most logical hire at this point. Especially since internally she has been one of Smiths biggest supporters.
Freeman for one seems to despise him.
Even something as simple as, "we understand there is a lot of concern among members of the PSU community, and will make an announcement shortly," would suffice. For now.
Been saying it for years there needs to be a complete house cleaning at PS top to bottom.
If they actually do say something it's likely to be one of two things. Neither will do much to change the national narrative that PSU is a laughingstock.
1. Kraft has our full support.
2. Kraft has been fired.
I hereby give permission to the PSU fanbase to pay me $50M and treat me poorly.
The Athletic 11th hour list for PSU- Monken, Smith, KDB ( somehow), Chesney(pull him away before he signs), Brohm ( before he said no), Matt Campbell. Chesney might take the least work since you were already in negotiation. Have to do some a$$ kissing.
Out of this list, I would hit Chesney, and Campbell. Can keep KDB in play since it he is in the long game. Have to press multiple fronts to get a solution. I would guess Smith isn't loving no offer as of yet.
