Maybe the lure of Mike Reid as GM/songwriter could win him over?
So I'm hearing it's down to
- Thread starter ConcealedCarry
- Start date
What if some of these guys are too nice to fire the coordinators? Thinking if Hartline got it, he may keep Knowles around and Chesney may be talked into keeping the whole lot including Kotelnicki. Whoever it is, to really do this right they better get rid of all remnants of what we're watching now.
Brohm seems like a long shot. Jeff and his brothers Brian and Greg were born, raised, and went to high school in Louisville. All three played for and currently work for Louisville. Louisville seems like a final destination for the Brohm brothers.
In case NU crashes in the 2nd half of their season? Why not get a good security like Franklin did in ‘21?
Besides, what if his old buddy gave him word that he far enough down on the PSU list.
Some of us said all along that it wasn't going to be Cignetti or Rhule. Hartline was a relatively recent change...during the bye week
Cael would put a winner on the field. That guy just doesn't just talk about domination like Franklin, he actually does it
Serious question - what makes people think he would be “less” successful than Franklin?
I asked the Grok AI and it thinks Hartline as the most likely. It has Chesney and Diaz as 2nd and 3rd most likely.
If this is how it really plays out, it’s not the splash hire everyone was pining for when Franklin was fired. Make no mistake. This is a total rebuild.
Like the current Franklin-recruited roster isn’t a total rebuild?
Go spew your pro-Fraudklin crapola elsewhere, gummy boy.
I don’t know why anyone would be posturing for Brohm, unless they were a troll.
Jeff is a smart developer of QB’s and an innovative offensive-minded coach but even he saw how corrupt the B1G is while at Purdue.

Bless your heart.
Right and the ACC is a bastion of integrity.
Brohm would be my #1 choice if I thought there was any chance he would leave his current job.
My sources tell me it is down to Dem Nutz and Deez Nutz!. Missing out on both will feel like a swift kick in the balls.
Should make for a rather dull axe of a game
Cugnetti did. Franklin will never get the opportunity to do so at the CFP level.
In the end it didn’t matter if it was Franklin’s guys or Portal guys. The common denominator was Franklin.

If I remember correctly from Rivals, Concealed Carry and PSU4U were claimed insiders for college football conference realignment and did seem to get some accurate inside info.
I know Kenny is a big Titans fan and he’s buddies with Kerry Collins, so there is a connection.

I've had a bunch of buddies bring up this point, is Hartline even in consideration for jobs anywhere else? Is the fact that we can't beat OSU a bigger draw to Hartline than it should be? Guys been an OC less than a yr, yes he's a good recruiter, but doesn't OSU pretty much recruit itself? Just food for thought, I'd personally rather have a guy like Campbell that has built something from the ground up.
Wonder if Franklin would rather wait and see if Maryland comes open. I would think Tech has an easier path to the College playoffs.
At one point you’re going to be posting that Manny Diaz is getting the job. I am convinced that will happen. It’s a very PSU thing to do to go with familiarity and stability.
He’s not a Kiffin or Kirby Smart level coach at this point, but he would be good for 9 or 10 wins every year at PSU, and I think he has the potential to achieve more than Franklin.
I've said from the get go, I'd be fine with Rhule, Diaz, etc.. but agree not sure he gets to that "Elite" level that the next guy obviously has to.
Hartline has been OC and Co-OC for 3 years and was passing game coordinator before that. He has interviewed for WVU HC last year. No one has any idea how many jobs he has been contacted about already. With all these openings one would be pretty certain that his agent is very busy fielding calls. He has Urban Meyer backing him saying he is ready for a HC job. He has dominated recruiting and developed top NFL WR's like a factory. He has relationships with all the top recruits PSU is recruiting as well as high school coaches. If you want Campbell expect 7-8 win seasons which to me then asks why get rid of JF. It's a lateral move for PSU. Personally I would like Brohm, Hartline or Elko. Brohm may be tough to get out of Louisville his alma mater where his family is located and brothers coach as well. Campbell does nothing for me. He is another Franklin can't beat the good teams but will get you 7-8 wins a year, he already has 3 losses this year. For me he doesn't move the needle at all.
I agree. I would also like them to consider Chesney. He is a PA guy with 15 years of HC experience leveling up weak programs. The fact that he took over JMU after Cignetti left with virtually the entire roster and did well, speaks to his skill. Can he make the jump to D1 successfully is unknown.
I find it interesting that people are denigrating coaches like Campbell because Iowa St does not win at the same rate as coaches with infinite better recruiting and resources and try to extrapolate what their future performance will look like. There is no way to know. That guy people are looking down their noses at can make the jump to D1 and crush it given better funding and recruiting; you can also have coaches where all the resources for success are provided them jump to a rebuild and tank because the playing field changes in terms of recruits and resources.
