It only requires a nerd with an almost open checkbook. You might be good at this.Then the question is would Terry be able to work the portal well enough to rebuild? That’s what we don’t know.

Keeping the current roster and bringing back the lost recruits would be a pretty solid starting point. Mix in a few important portal players and I think they could be pretty competitive.Some of those names have shown they can do it….Smith has not.
Definitely. And a key factor in not being able to win big games.This team is fun to watch. They play hard for Coach Terry Smith.
I think Franklin had them playing way too tight. Especially Allar, he was afraid to throw the ball.
Sounds like a job I’d like. I’d need a free pass for the Creamery though included in the contract…It only requires a nerd with an almost open checkbook. You might be good at this.
Its a nice supplement. Might need to lean on it heavy for next year.The portal seems like an un-Penn State way to build a roster
And time. OSU struggled the first year in his defense. They got better after that.They are definitely playing better. Can we recruit the players he needs to run his system? I believe the knock on him was his system was hard to learn and required specific types of players?

The downside would be losing. On the other hand, if we can't get a proven high-level HC (and I don't believe that we will) maybe take a flyer since we have to.So what's the downside? You're likely paying him relatively nothing versus top-paid FBS coaches and can replace him with minor expenses. Nothing but upside with Smith, unless I'm missing something, and he has the additional bonus that he can begin immediately at tying-down and stabilize the 2026 roster including 2026 recruits. So what is it that I'm missing???
Smith was going ballistic on that no call. Typical B10 non call for PSU.If you’re going to blow the whistle to stop a play, then you need to call a penalty when a defender hits the runner long after that whistle.
I'd say the downside to Smith, Chesney, Dinkowitz is the same.The downside would be losing. On the other hand, if we can't get a proven high-level HC (and I don't believe that we will) maybe take a flyer since we have to.
How? They all bring different things that could go wrong--with very different downsidesI'd say the downside to Smith, Chesney, Dinkowitz is the same.
They are right. That was a BS call also. I ran it back and watched. The Nebraska player hit his own guy. PSU player ran by the play without contact.Radio PBP is incensed at the penalty against PSU on interfering with the punt receiver. Per them, PSU's Collins was blocked in the back on the play, and it was kNU's own player that hit the punt receiver. smh
It could put the program in a hole we don’t dig out of for years. I’m not saying it would, but there is definitely a downside as other programs have found out.
The downside is that PSU doesn't make the playoffs in the next 4 years and becomes a perennial mid-B1G team.How? They all bring different things that could go wrong--with very different downsides
You never hire a coach to appease the current players/recruits
agree, if those are the options I hire Smith and fire KraftI'd say the downside to Smith, Chesney, Dinkowitz is the same.
PSU looked less aggressive in that last series against Nebby and they scored the TD.TD, Lateef, on a 11-yard scramble. DDS almost got him in the backfield, but didn't and Lateef had a lot of open room.
With the PAT, it's 30-10, PSU, with 0:55 left in the 3rd qtr.
Those aren't the "options'agree, if those are the options I hire Smith and fire Kraft
Just a couple of minutes ago..When was the last time an offensive face mask has ever been called?
Certainly wasn’t called earlier tonightWhen was the last time an offensive face mask has ever been called?
Ask Miami and WVU, two programs that listened to their players and hired the “popular” coach.Wrong, you could replace him next year for nothing if it becomes clear the position is above hos head. There is zero downside with Smith and pure upside including letting the tea-leaves settle as to which up-&-coming and established coaches are realistic candidates. How precisely would Terry Smith set you back years??? You aren't paying him anything and guarantees are a non-factor. LMAO at the know-it-alls, who are actually know-nothings.
