He has 27 transfers on his team, Starting QB,-#1 & #2 RB's, 3 of 6 WR's, both TE's, 3 of 5 starting OL, 7 of 11 DL, 1 of 5 LB's , 5 of 9 DB's.
Golesh and Schumann are probably my 1-2 at the moment. Of the realistic options.
I like Terry but that's basically worst case scenario for us long term. Would make for a fun few weeks though
I’m going strictly on the insinuation that Cignetti not having success in the playoffs is a knock against him given the circumstances. Anyone would admit that it’s a ridiculous criticism at this point.
That's fair
No question Saban is a winner. That said, he's 73, and looked really drained after his stint at Alabama. I dunno, bring him in for a couple years, then have him turn the keys over to a hand-picked successor, a new Kirby Smart? Maybe.
Name the next PSU HFC who lost to both Marshall and Northern Illinois while HC of the most storied football program in the US
Honestly Freeman is a nightmare scenario for me. Might as well have kept Franklin. He's in the group with Rhule that just don't make sense. Better than Rhule though.
Dan Campbell is a great example of why this search shouldn't be limited to proven HCs. Find his energy level and aggressiveness with a young coordinator that embraces NIL and the portal.
A young Coordinator would definitely need a GM. But I am for it.
Sign him to 5 years. The recruits and great coaches will come knocking.
If Freeman was the PSU coach I wouldn’t be hoping for someone to knock that smug look off his face every time I see him. So there’s that.
I’m a life long Penn State fan, also grad of Iowa State. I love Campbell at Iowa State, however I’m not convinced he’s what Penn State needs. Jmho
We don't need someone that was a HC--was Kirby Smart "only a coordinator"Joe Brady??? C'mon people.
He's nothing other than an offensive-minded geek.
He's never really been responsible for supervising other people, let alone a large staff including some of those "defensive people".
I truly don't know where some of you people come up with these insane ideas.
PSU is in desperate need of a proven football coach familiar with all phases of the game. Joe Brady isn't that guy.
Thats the problem with most coaches. They have one offense style in mind (defense too) ... but to make it work, he has to have the right kind of players ... players with the necessary skill set. I can use one example at ND ... Lou Holtz who favored the option offense, but recruited Ron Powlus ... didn't produce his best 4 years. Powlus would have probably been more successful in a pro-style offense.
Look at the lack of talent he has had to work with. Read somewhere that he has 0 five-star players and only 4 or 5 four-star players on the team. His teams is made up of players who were rated 3 stars or less, but he has developed them and worked them up.
