There have been a lot of retarded threads on this site over the years but this might be the most retarded. Unless you wanted a Kiffin situation this was always what was going to happen. Yes we are fans but to start a thread to fire the AD because he hasn't met your timeline for hiring a coach probably means you need to start taking your meds again. Guess what if he fired Franklin Sunday everything is still the same except Franklin wasn't hired by VT and none of the recruits would be signing on Wednesday they would be waiting for February to see how it all played out. Plus Kraft wouldn't have had interviews set up yet. If we end up settling you can complain all you want but settling probably means Terry is the coach. Until then NO ONE has any idea whats going on. Every single insider has been WRONG all along so sit back take a valium and relax.
I think you underestimate how far a program can fall if they don’t have the right coach leading the way with recruiting, NIL, and the portal. This is BIG business + football and it is very cutthroat. If they hire the wrong guy, PSU football will sink like a stone. If Kraft would have handled this properly, this could have been more seamless and not been a total rebuild with playoff potential immediately. It’s going to be a total rebuild now.
If PSU ends up with Sitaki, Brohm, or Hartline that's a win IMO (also hear Key may still be in play - also a win IMO). I am particularly intrigued by Sitaki - was courted by Oregon and he turned them down. They worship him at BYU. He's 100% out of the box and off radar hire no one was talking about seriously for PSU until 48 days into a 50+ day long search. If it is him, I think we get a fresh new perspective and near sea change from the last HC/staff, and while that will come with challenges (recruiting mostly), also comes with some advantages (more West Coast ties). Mostly Sitaki does it on the field, which is really what matters. Since 2020 only these teams have won more games than BYU: Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan, and Clemson. Since 2020, BYU's record against ranked teams (Top 25) is 14-5. By comparison, PSU is 7-17.
Fell like Kraft has done a masterful job here; if not for the Latter Day Saints and the Crumbl Cookie guy, PSU would have their man and it would have been a solid A hire IMO. If Hartline is the backup, I like that a lot too. The doom and gloom here is wild.

Sign in to Facebook or Instagram and take a look around. Kraft will be fired by Christmas.
Thanks for making my point.
You are factually wrong. Cignetti was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for several power football schools, including Bama during the first championship year of their Saban run. Cignetti learned from the very best and saw how to run a top-tier program. Chesney has none of that at all. But again, Chesney is better than no coach, which is where our idiot AD sits now in his “search.”
Anybody who claims they know what Kraft is planning, or that he doesn't have a plan, is more full of **** than the average politician. That goes for people on here and in the media.
But of course.Apparently Sandy was less toxic when dealing with Jimmy Sexton than Kraft . She just showed him the money . Todd McShsy- Now the skinny is Sexton won’t deal with Kraft and just using him to inflate salaries .
So Kraft’s critics should wait to criticize until he actually hires some one but you think he has done a masterful job before he has. Got it.
Two things can be true at the same time. The effort I think has been solid; the results? We'll see. Could be a spectacular effort with a dud result - I guess we'll see.
