Well, it's not like his prospects were looking great in the NFL. Getting caught on camera on the sidelines with Tom Brady screaming at you to go **** yourself is not a good career move.
Things are getting crazy at Penn State

They need a Rodriguez so they can get a Hoke!
This should be posted on the PSU scout board but I still don't think they would get it.

That **** goes on every game. I thought Aikman and Turner were going to come to blows multiple times back in the day.

I watched a video on the ESPN Big Ten blog about an hour ago about how Bradley had been "relieved of his duties". It talked about the meeting with the coaches and AD and what they said as they left.
That video has been taken down. Weird.

Excellent post - couldn't be more true, IMHO.
Of course, if over the next 2-3 years, O'Brien surprises everyone and pulls everything together and has PSU competing at a championship level, they'll act like they knew it all along...but the truth is, no one within PSU can really think that is a likely outcome. This guy will just keep the seat warm for the real hire 3+ years down the road.

I don't understand what the issue is. From those tweets it seems that PSU is cleaning house. Isn't that what everyone expected to happen? Did anyone expect Jay Paterno to stay with PSU?
As far as O'brien, this is why you keep your mouth shut. There have been quite a few coaches throughout the years that have thought they had the job only to run their mouth and make the school change their mind. Don't let the alumni express opinions until the press conference.

Obrien is definitely in a no-win situation ... unless, of course ... he actually wins on the field. If he does find success on the field it will be amazing how quickly fans will move to his corner. Obrien was most likely was their 10th choice ... If he does not show success within three years he will be out (like Rich Rod) ... I feel for the guy because imagine if you accepted a new job and everyone in the company welcomed you with a cold shoulder ... I think the poster who said he was hired to be fired is (sadly) correct. They will give him those three years and by that time their coaching pool will increase ...

I think PSU will be in the bottom 4 in the B1G within 2 years. Led by JoePa's ineptness PSU erased a legacy of good will by allowing Sandusky 2 run around the campus abusing children. PSU is poisoned and will not be recovering anytime soon. It may take 10 years and may never comeback.

If I were O'brien I would ask for ALOT of money and invest well because this will be his last job as a HC once he gets fired. He is getting thrown into the lions den, alum don't want him, players don't want him. The chance he will have success with little to no backing is slim to none.

He's prolly going to pocket $6MM or so in those 3 years....assuming he sucks, so I don't feel too sorry for him.
This situation is just ridiculos!
PSU needs to really just totally clean house. It would be nice for the former players who are supposedly "men" who learned so much under Joe Pa (what a bunch of ****) to step up and fully support the school turning over the program to a completely new staff. Instead you get a bunch of moron ex players, boosters and alumni acting like complete fools.
I can't believe that there is so much issue with O'brien being named coach. The boosters can go to hell and deal with it. The school needs to find new boosters because the current group is obviously a group of complete piece's of crap.

It's win/win for O'brien.
You get at least $6 million guaranteed, head coaching experience at a Big BCS football school, and no one outside of PSU expects you to succeed. He was a coach at NE so that will carry weight for years. He just has to avoid getting caught up in stuff, represent himself well and he will be fine if he gets fired. He will be $6 million plus dollars richer and he will get hired a coach somewhere else if things don't go well.

Are former PSU assistants essentially going to be black listed when this all shakes out?
