I feel like the interim coach gets the emotional player/fan support more often than not in these types of situations. Maybe it's just me remembering the Mickey situation with us. But it feels like it happens all the time and rarely does that guy actually get the nod. Although, I think it was a similar situation with Freeman at ND and they pulled the trigger with him. So, who knows.

Who will the Penn State Nittany Lions hire❓️

Kudos to Virginia Tech for getting their hire figured out.

When Ped State is down to interviewing a WR coach from the Redskins for the job, I think by now it is safe to say there is not a lot of interest in the job. When you ( Like NU did twice ) fire a coach who won 70% of his games, a candidate has got to be thinking that the bar is set too high and fan expectations are out of whack. From what I have read, this is between Engram, Smith and a few mentions of them circling back to snag Ruhle. Certainly not going to be the splash hire they thought they would get.

The longer this takes the more likely they land back on their home boy. OSU’s OC seems more likely though.

someone said kiffen is going to bama, so penn state will get their coach

Which came first on that deal? Penn State lured DeBoer away so Bama snagged Kiffen...or Bama is canning DeBoer to get Kiffen so Penn State is snagging DeBoer? It all seems a little far fetched if you ask me, but you've been right on crazier stuff before.

thats just what some people said, not me. I have no idea about it..I guess the only thing I could say is thats kiffens dream job and might be the best splash hire penn state would see...idk..I think I heard it on the average joe sports show
