@fbrumormill: RT @BFeldmanCBS: Odds on next PennSt coach: Mullen, 7/4; Sumlin 3/1; Tim Murphy 4/1; Schiano 5/1 (per Bodog)... They should go after AFA's Troy Calhoun.

Murphy is the one of those that I see as a real possibility.

Sumlin's offense isn't made for the Big 10 while Mullen and Schiano are underachievers.

Schiano also has the added knock of being a Penn State insider as a former assistant there, which is not what they need in the wake of the scandal there. The incestuous nature of the football coaches, the athletic director's office, and the school needs to be rooted out and it's hard to do that with a former JoePa guy coming in as coach.

whoever comes in is doomed, imo. it will take awhile and at least one coach before the ship is righted. many mothers will not let their sons go to penn state. pitt is getting ready to kick arse in the ACC.

I misspoke... I meant "overrated" instead of "underachievers. As in "hyped out of proportion with their on-the-field results".

Both meet that criteria, mainly because those records are fattened up on cupcakes with very few quality wins buoying them.


Schiano had one really good season at Rutgers and has been otherwise mediocre given how piss-poor the Big East is compared to the days of Miami and Virginia Tech at the start of the 2000s.


The 11-2 campaign in 2006 did impress me a bit, as opposed to many of the 8-win and 9-win ones since then, but they lost 2 of the 3 games they played against ranked teams that season.

Quality wins for Schiano at Rutgers? Over ranked Louisville in 2006, Pitt in 2008, and South Florida in both 2007 and 2009.



As far as Mullen goes, he's a step up from Croom but that's not saying much.

They're past the point where their only wins are coming against I-AA teams like Maine, but they're not at the point where I'd recommend Mullen for another BCS job.

Mullen's 3-year record is 20-17, but he's 9-15 against the SEC in that time.

Of those 9 wins, 6 have come against Vandy, Kentucky (3), Ole Miss (3), Georgia, and Florida. The only ranked teams they beat were Ole Miss in 2009 and Florida in 2010, both of which were in the 20s.

fair enough.

Both are very very hard to win at.

Miss St. is the toughest school in the west to win at.

Rutgers is hard because well... that should be obvious why it is tough to win there. They've been awful forever.

I'm curious as to this, too....

Every thread I look at talking about Mullen and MState bamasgot13 has to throw in a negative comment.

I pretty much have come to the conclusion of it being a backhanded flame at NIH...or just trying to ruffle his feathers.

No real beef with State. I don't care much for Mullen. He's arrogant and an a-hole with no justifiable reason for either. You'd have thought the arse kickings he's taken by the West for 3 years would have humbled him by now. I also don't understand/get annoyed by State fans worshipping the mediocrity of the guy. State can do better and should expect it.

Once he leaves - which will happen as soon as someone else thinks he's worth hiring - then State fans will start to see his flaws (much as Bama fans did with Fran) and you'll see my posts as less "flame" on State and more "flame" on Mullen.

Dan Mullen will not be the next coach at Penn State, that is easy money.

I am assuming there is a limit to how much one can bet. It would be really easy for Mullen or someone close to him to place a rather large wager on it not happening or happening, whichever the case.

I already do, and TBH I always wished he would have just whipped OM on the field and shut his mouth. I think all his chatter and digs at OM got the good ole boys fired up and pocket books opened. See their recruiting last year vs ours. It seemed like they went directly after the guys we wanted.

I will always respect him for turning our program around and I know he's not perfect, so I take the good with the bad. I can understand why outsiders don't like him, but that is also a reason why so many Ms St fans do love him.

FWIW, I'm pretty confident he has had at least 2 opportunities to leave and turned them down. He is pretty adamant about coaching in the SEC. I think there are only a select number of jobs he would take right now(e.g. Penn St, Georgia, UTk, etc). Things could change if he started losing and the fan based turned on him.
