Without the pedo scandal, would penn st be an elite job?

if it wasn't for the scandal, would coaches view psu as an elite destination?
PA is probably a top 10 state for talent, though definitely not top 7. However, they're the only major school close to the elite jersey catholic leagues. They are really the biggest program for the entire northeast and even the DC area.
The stadium is big, huge fan base, etc. seems like you could pull talent just as good as a Michigan could.

What constitutes "elite?"
Penn State is a Top 20 job today (the luster had worn off before the scandal). At one point it was a Top 10 job.

Penn State hasn't really been an "elite" job since Sandusky left.

Yeah feel like they've had some success in the past...
Posted on 10/15/16 at 3:37 pm to Moustache
Yes. 10 years from now it will hopefully be a tier 1 job again.

I don't think it would be. They're in a division with OSU, UM and MSU. Your competing with OSU, VT and WVU for talent too and there isn't near as much in the Northeast as there is in the South.

I feel like they should be the third best Big 10 job with a chance to win 9+ every year.

it can be again
has to be the right coach to get them there.

It can still be elite now, Franklin is just really struggling a lot more than I thought he would. O'Brien would have them in much better shape had he stayed.

If the scandal never came to light, Joe Paterno would still be alive and "coaching" at Happy Valley and Jay Paterno would still be the legacy in waiting.

Undoubtedly
They have the Northeast to themselves, basically. Have the facilities and tradition. Nike money, as they are part of the original Big 8 of Nike.

You're wrong. In terms of football talent it goes
1.California/Texas/Florida
2.Ohio/Georgia
3.Pennsylvania/Louisiana
4.North and South Carolina/New Jersey
5.Alabama/Virginia/Michigan
Its been this way for decades

Penn State cult: "JoePa would still be coaching."

OP, the answer to your question is an emphatic yes.
But the pedo scandal places a sickening stench around that place forever, imo.
