Just my opinion but PSU is beyond fixable and my opinion stems from their reaction to the Sandusky fiasco years ago. The way they idolized Paterno and worked to cover that situation up and try and put lipstick on it churned my stomach and it will never be fixed. Then take into account the...

I think there is also risk that is Smith doesn't get the job some others jump ship. Reports state he is very popular within the players, staff, and admin. Would Terry Smith have the balls to turn them down if offered the job? You have to believe there is some level of disrespect he is feeling...

I believe Kirk mentioned he feels good and plans to be around for the next couple years unless something really wierd happens or something to that affect. With the state of college football it's possible something weird happens and he says F it and I don't want to deal with it. Chances are...

Its a sports forum so everybody likes to talk about sports but what is often overlooked and under appreciated anymore is the stuff beyond the sport. If you take the time to watch the video that was put together after KF got the record for most wins. There was quite the range of people that...

That is what was reported but I find it very hard to believe it to be true as well. Same with a lot of teh reports out there as to what is true or not who is to say since we are not involved. I am sure there are a lot more names of people we don't hear about as well. Everyday it drags on...

One name I was thinking of that I would like but have no idea if he is interested as he's been out of the game for awhile but David Shaw from Stanford is a guy I always liked and feel would be a good fit. Internally I still like Woods as my first choice but of they go external I would reach...

What I have seen reported is the guy from BYU, Huepel from Tennessee said not interested, Rhule allegedly turned them down by some reports but not sure how true that is, DeBoer is reported as saying not interested. It's rumored that Urban was interested but after stating some of his...

I have heard his name recently but don't know if he would bolt. On McShay's recent shows he digs into the Power Agent that is seemingly controlling a lot of these moves behind the scenes. He represented Kiffin and notice how a lot of dominoes started to fall right after Kiffin left. The...

What is going on now in the coaching searches across the country may not be the norm in the near future if some legislation is passed but I hope Beth and Co are paying attention to see just how bad things can get if you don't have a solid replacement plan. The PSU AD looks really bad right now...

No, Penn State is really putting themselves in a very bad position. Big names are extending or are getting the open jobs. They've been denied by several high profile and successful coaches. As of the last time I looked there recruiting class is 130th. What happens if the new coach isn't a...

From some of the things I am hearing on-line is PSU may not be as financially strong as many think. The buyout and stadium improvements that they are on the hook for has some people second guessing things. Maybe those people are wrong but it's fun watching how this plays out

I had heard there are many in the building that really want him and that included many players.

I am surprised by Fickel as well because I had either read or listened to a locked on Wisconsin or something like that and Fickel is not very popular amongst many of the Instate High School coaches. I guess he has really only focused on the big schools and has been non responsive to others that...

I saw some youtube videos about the BYU coach and he was very interested in the job but the Mormon church and power boosters got involved and are throwing some big time money at him and the program to keep him there. One video I saw there are many people inside the university that thinks the...

I mentioned this in another thread but I think it needs to go to 16 and eliminate the first round bye. It still allows the Group of 5 team to get in as well as some other strong candidates. It also allows teams like Boise State last year to host a home playoff game rather than have the first...

We will see how they do but at least in my eyes a glaring weakness they have is defending the athletic bigs. Maybe that will change but I am not sure if they have the horses quite yet. What is great about Basketball though is if you can protect the ball and shoot well you can beat just about...

Not really but just from some of the interviews and videos I have watched over the last day or so the way it sounds PSU is a shitshow at the admin level. McShay had a short video about some of what he had heard that could explain why they are having issues hiring someone.

The playoff needs to expand by 4 teams and eliminate the bye week. While nice it’s also kind of a bad deal for those teams. For example Boise State last year gets a bye and then their next game is at a neutral site. So they miss out on having a home game. Not sure what capacity is of Boise...

The 3-3-5 can be a great defense but you need very specific personnel skills for a few key positions. For example you need a D Lineman that can eat up space a double teams. Iowa State has Orange this year to fill that position. Nebraska lacked that. Iowa State has also had some very...

I don't think Kirk is daring her to fire him but a big "problem" Beth does have is KF has several very big friends in terms of donors, former players, and admin at the school and Children's Hospital. To fire Kirk now could have very big PR implications. What I could see happening is Kirk is...
