As a PSU fan and alum
I am so tired of the Joe, Joe, Joe BS. He was a great coach and a flawed man. There is nothing wrong with reminiscing once and awhile but the constant blathering about him sucks. It is the past. The future is now. He will never be exonerated. There is no smoking gun that will totally restore his reputation to a certain segment of the populace. Ever! He was treated unfairly to a large extent, but life isn’t fair. The constant need to insert him into all things PSU borders on fanatical. I remember the glory years and lived through the championships and remember it fondly. But it is yesteryear. I don’t give a rats *** if Campbell mentions him in a presser. I am concerned about future PSU teams.
Hogwash.

As “as a PSU alum” you would know MC would not have the privilege of coaching our blueblood program and it would be at a College (not a University) without Joe.

Smoking guns are needed only for affixing guilt not obtaining innocence.

Your approach is why we have been in a fix since 2011.

So the rumors of PennState’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Can somebody check on Ludd?
I’m great, Campbell is who I wanted from the start but didn’t think he was an option. Pardon me for having no faith in Kraft. And I haven’t seen anything official yet, so Kraft can still mess it up.

I'm hoping he does. Would say a lot about his character.

But after getting a closer glimpse of Kraft's character, Kraft probably will forbid it.
No! Why would he do that when he should be focused on the job he got hired to do (assuming this actually happens).

My favorite was 2 failed fake FG attempts from inside the 10 against Michigan a few years back. Couldn't even get mad at that one. Just laughed.
I laughed at the shambolic 2 minute “drill” against UCLA. Less a precise military-style “drill” and more like your head in a vise as someone runs a drill into your head. My laugh was the laugh of someone in a lunatic asylum

Going to be funny when Terry gets another job, fields a team with a 100% graduation rate, and wins a national championship. The football gods will make it so

I’ll add to the pile. Giving Liam Clifford supposedly $500,000 and some top high school recruits around $50,000 and totally botching NIL was and is inexcusable. If reports are true and Franklin wanted to give the highest portion of NIL to his current players, regardless of contribution on the field and that Kraft gave him the opportunity to sign big transfer targets and he didn't utilize it. To me this is where there were issues. Franklin being the buddy coach and the I love you no matter what and you have been loyal to Penn State so I'm going to reward you with cash, even though you might only catch 3 passes for 25 yards, is insane. Any top program is paying massive NIL deals to play makers and game changers, the fact that he didn't want to do that is what caused him to have to leave. He will take that mentality to Blacksburg, he will sell that to the guys there, they will love him, he will make them feel good and he will be right where he was here, except without the horses behind him that he had in place at PSU. VT will have to fight off Pitt, Clemson, GT and Miami...
I’m with you. I don’t know why you’d give anywhere close to that to Liam

If Campbell doesn't acknowledge Joe at his introductory press conference, it is either because:
1) The powers that be told him not to mention Joe and he's cowering to them, or
2) He doesn't see the need to

Either way, FIRE Campbell.
Let it go Jay....let it go. Sorry your Daddy got railroaded by the media and BoT, but not every HC at PSU has to kiss the ring anymore. I'm sure the history of the program will be mentioned, but no he doesn't to suck up to the Paterno/Ira teet....they can go f--k themselves.

Just came across this gem in a news feed, just gives me another reason to hate the Chefs.

According to CBS Sports’ Dennis Dodd, Sitake’s decision was influenced in part by advice from Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, who reportedly encouraged him to stay at BYU rather than depart for Penn State.

But it’s not, the right thing to do is thank everyone at Iowa State and move on to the job you are now employed to do. He has far more important things to worry about than a bowl game his former team is in.
Sorry Mr. Kiffin.

I’m happier with Campbell.

I didn’t realize Campbell played for Mt. Union in college. Most of our HS assistant coaches played there back when I was in High School and the university hosted the Sectional Track meet that I competed in back in 1975. One of the best ever Div3 football schools ever and the program is nationally recognized. I also used to moonlight in Alliance, Ohio in the late 80’s and drove past campus all the time. If Campbell is the official hire, it really hits close to home for me.

Maybe you should heed your own advice and stop blaming Sexton, Jay Paterno and Lubrano for Kraft’s failures. I don’t recall O’Brien or Franklin kissing any rings.

Chesney may ultimately be better than Campbell. Maybe.
I don't believe Chesney will be as successful at UCLA as he would have been at PSU given Chesney's east coast recruiting contacts and the challenges he will face on the west coast from USC, Oregon, and Washington.
Campbell while at ISU was blessed to bring recruits out of Ohio, NJ, and Florida. He'll have to work into the DMV, PA, VA, and the Carolinas.

He's going to out of his natural habitat for sure. Will be interesting to see how that plays out.

BS they both acknowledged him, but some of you people need it daily or somehow feel everyone has to from here until the end of time. I'll stop blaming them when they stop trying to undermine the program. Arrington again called them out publicly for doing so again TODAY....it's real....sorry your idol worshiping doesn't allow you to get those messages. Keep thinking every HC has to bow down and grovel to your idol. He's here to win football games and that will win over the fans more than anything else. Those still stuck on kissing Joe's arse are lost...it's been a decade plus and people want to hear how this new HC can kiss his arse....well only certain ones.

He hasn't even been formerly hired and that JoeBots are crying....they can GFT.

We get it Mr. Surma. You don't like Joe. You already got your licks in. Move on.
