If we recovered from Jerry Sandusky, we can recover from Pat Kraft. That being said we are looking to be BAD in 2026 and not too much better in 2027.
Will we hear from Kraft today?
- Thread starter Psubart1
- Start date
Following Faust, ND also eased up on their requirements for acceptance of football players. Tony Rice would not have been allowed to play there in Faust’s time.

I worry that NIL + revenue sharing could make this worse than recovering from sanctions.
- Players were allowed to transfer when we were under sanctions but they couldn't be lured away with money. Now the poachers can offer money.
- During the sanctions we still had a limited number of scholarships. Now we have fewer than we did under sanctions.
Oh, so our football future hinges on an Indian academic lady? Somehow I think Louisiana's governor embarrassing himself a month ago is better. God help us of Neeli starts driving this bus. We cant fire kraft at the moment, no way.
As I understood it, she was in favor of hiring Terry Smith. Given that that could have been done long ago, I don't think she's driving the bus at all.
Tell me who you voted for, without telling me who you voted for...
? Neither the point about an Indian lady making football decisions or the governor of Louisiana acting nuts post kelleys firing are political....but I think you'd be suprised how I vote. Let's leave it there
Where, exactly, did you "understand" that from? I would seriously be interested in knowing.

Yeah, you have to wonder about some people and their motives. Fire Kraft Promote Terry motive free. The Franklin allegiance around here is pretty creepy.
The transfer portal is delayed for teams/players in the playoff. That might help us. a lot depends on how fast Kraft can end this **** show. Won't happen, but Kraft should donate half his own salary to NIL for the mess he created.
I have NEVER made those comments. I have, however, tried (apparently without success) to explain to you that there is cause to be concerned about a number of problems that are quite real and are impacting the team negatively. You choose to ignore them and instead go after anyone who does not think things are just rosy.

Hence I said "did you read the posts"--my comment is about the general attitude
There isn't cause to be concerned--we all knew (or should have) known a hire wasn't coming until after CCG week. I've said that throughout.
I'm not ignoring anything. You and others are overly concerned about the 2026 and reacting with emotion right now.
This hire isn't about 2026--it's about the next decade.
If we are hiring a coach that is coaching this weekend, doesn’t that coach need to lose in order for all this to end?
He should come out with something, even if ends up being 100% BS. Something like, I know the lack of information has been worrisome. I understand. Trust me that we are getting close and when announced, Penn State Football will be in good hands.
Unless he pulls a golden rabbit out of the hat, he is f d at this point anyways. Might as well double down and say something reassuring on worst PSU signing day ever.

Making a statement doesn't help him pull said rabbit, nor does it prevent him from being f'd when he doesn't, so a statement does nothing.
She doesn't drive...
...literally she does not get in the driver's seat of a car.
I'd rather hear from the President and BoT..... that they've gotten off their empty-suit, pathetic asses, stepped in to this unacceptable situation and fired Krafty The Clown.... and promoted Terry Smith (a true Penn Stater) to a Permanent Head Coaching position.
Not going to hear anything for awhile - headlines are bad now but the administration would rather wait for the news cycle to play out than rush into a multi-million dollar commitment for their 5th/6th choice after Early Signing Day passed.
We can be annoyed it's dragged on this long, but what does rushing into a choice to appease message board posters and talking heads on ESPN solve at this stage of the game? What does commenting "Everything is fine" do but draw more attention to a matter that's going to drag out for possibly weeks longer? It just creates more headaches than giving nothing

Wrong, the President / BoT stepping in immediately and announcing Kraft's termination and Terry Smith's immediate promotion to Permanent Head Coach does a hell of a lot more than your "head in the sand" bs. It shows that there are responsible people at the the helm of the ship and taking action to limit, and begin repairing, the massive damage Kraft (a non-PSU "traditional b1g" lifer - grew up in Midwest {IL] and graduated from Indiana) has done.
And if he had a coach but he had to wait for an announcement until after the championship games wouldn't that information be important to share with recruits. I guess they would leak it but I have a hard time believing we have some great coach but we can't announce it until after the championship games.
And if the BYU guy was his top target I think that was nuts. He's an alum of BYU and a West Coast guy and obviously all these schools have big donors that are willing to step up.
I think we should have went after Chesney. His ceiling is high.
Hiring Terry Smith is not a responsible decision, it is a desperate one.

Because of the massive damage Krafty The Incompetent Clown has done - Smith is in the best position to limit further damage, triage the situation and start turning the tanker so we can have a 2026 season that is something other than an unmitigated disaster. If you don't understand this, your ignorance and lack of cognitive power really doesn't bother me in the least - that's your problem and a problem you will continue to have to live with.

I'm starting to question your cognitive capabilities. Are you over age 60?
This is new information to me. Why have you been sitting on this scoop?
