Completely disagree--Meyer with a portal would love life
Don’t rush it but at the same time, take it as soon as you can. It’s not a matter of how many years we got left but rather how many good years.
Not sure who we can get but I think top of the list is a guy who knows how to develop and coach physcial/tough lines. Need that in our culture along with actually holding players accountable.
Disagree for lots of reasons. College are still kids. NFL has a salary cap. NFL has contracts. College has unlimited free agency
I thought CJF was doing a good job overall. However his hire of current OL coach was more than weak. He needed a crusty guy with experience. He didn’t get that.
IMO the Sandusky mess was engineered by the BOT (at the time) in order to get Joe out and gain power. At this point, I think the BOT would approve hiring the devil himself if that’d meet their goals.
What do you think the most frequently asked question an NFL Scout asks a college HC? They want to know how the kid handles money. They want to know if the kid has the same drive and work ethic as he had before the money. You don’t think that’s an issue with college players?
Running out on his “dream school” after 1 year. Taking a loaded #1 ranked USC team to unranked by the end of the year even while cheating. He cannot stop being a whiny *****. Constantly whining about opposing coaches. Constantly whining about the BCS and playoff system. Bitching about his own fans and student section. Cheats as a coach, cheated on his wife, was rumored to be involved with Saban’s daughter while at bama.
He has the personality and ethics of Steve Spurrier but without the winning. Thinner skin than Franklin and bigger douche than Brian Kelly.
He does recruit well and runs an exciting offense though.
Uh, it absolutely is. People are more willing to donate when there's something to be proud of. "Skin in the game" is distinctly NOT when you're a donor to whom money means nothing.
Never thought I would say it but do you think Rhule would come from Nebraska.
The UNC hoops 2022-23 collapse is the only thing that comes to mind that matches this debacle. The Heels were preseason #1 and missed the tournament all together.

Theyre probably ready to make him governor of Indiana. Why would he ever leave there?
I read your post and messaged my buddy who is the DA in a fairly decent size city in Ohio and he said

Sure, why not? If anything, he could probably pull in a hair sponsor and they could find a place on the field to paint their logo on it as well.
Don't kow about the rest of your argument, but is there really a bigger douche than Kelly?
Ok that might have been a stretch
Absolutely. Hartline would take the psu job in a nanosecond
but I’d rather have a guy with HC experience
Nor do I... Sad situation. Kraft has a lot on his plate right now... I wish him well. He doesn't get this figured out quick that stadium project could bankrupt the athletic department. That is not hyperbole.

Cignetti is from Pittsburgh. He’s never going to get past the elites at IU, but he could with the resources and buy-in from Kraft and PSU. PA + the mid Atlantic is a much better recruiting home base.
But he is 64 years old.

They’ll get the funding and finish the stadium. The issue is similar to FSU…can you continue and fight thru the negativity when you have a large buyout? We are about to find out over the next two years.
I don’t think they’ll go 3-9.
But I think I’ll be surprised at any wins from here on out.
