Penn State head coach on Mike & Mike just complimented Ferentz as one of the coaches you gave him the courtesy of calling him to say that Iowa wanted to talk to a Penn State player. Wonder you they are talking to?

He also mentioned (by didn't name names) that some coaches are reaching out to his players but are not contacting him first, which he didn't like.

 

[David79]

Ill guess on the coaches who aren't contacting him. Hoke, Bielema, Meyer. Those are my first three guesses

Kiffin would also be a solid guess.

 

[KnightHawk9]

Kiffin would also be a solid guess.

I would peg that as a virtual certainty.

With the announced rules, all schools need to inform PSU that they are pursuing players.

Penn State - NCAA.org

Permission-to-contact rules are suspended. Penn State cannot restrict in any way a student-athlete from pursuing a possible transfer. Student-athletes must simply inform Penn State of their interest in discussing transfer options with other schools. Before communicating with student-athletes, interested schools also must inform Penn State of their intention to open discussions with the student-athlete.

 

[David79]

Oh yeah, I can't believe I forgot about Kiffin.

That's what I thought too.

 

[CAARHawk]

Would kinda suck if we don't get one now though.

 

[David79]

Oops looks like O'Brien may be getting a few schools in trouble for illegally contacting PSU players.

Good.

 

[David79]

With Brian having a relationshp with him and I am sure Kirk knows him some because of the Belichek connection, if a player did want to leave maybe OBrien would kind of nudge them Iowa's way to keep them away from some of the other places that have been contacting players without calling him first.

 

[DexterMorgan]

that's a good point. Didn't think about that.

What makes you say Hoke? Does he have a history of sleazy behavior like Bielema, Meyer, and Kiffin?
Pls explain, Dave.

And the NCAA better F'ing follow up with O'Brien to find out who they are and give them the punishment they deserve.

 

[Hawkfnntn]

Well that answers the question about Ferentz going after any of em or not. If we can get a plug in starter on DL or RB...... Redd is a long shot I suppose but hey worst they can say is no

 

[eveningnewsteam]

Hoke comes off as a pretty stand up guy to me. Id doubt he's one of them.

That's my feeling too, ent. That's why I asked Davey to 'splain his allegation.

 

[David79]

Yeah you are probably right. Shouldn't have included him.

 

[theboat]

Yeah you are probably right. Shouldn't have included him.

Rich Rodriguez on the other hand........

This. I think he is one of the last good ones out there. Michigan is very lucky to have him. IMO.
