Things are not going well in happy valley. 139th ranked recruiting class with 4 total recruits.

Whoever this AD is really should be put in prison, or audited for taking payments from other Big 10 teams to sabotage State College.

This is absolutely insane.

And nobody used the Penn State opening as leverage (which was how we got stuck with BK after firing O early).

I think Penn State doesnt realize how fast things move now....you dont just burn a whole year and assume a longer term rebuild anymore...

Could it be that they’ve found their coach, they are just waiting until after the playoffs?

Only going to get worse. They overreacted and fired Franklin.

They have to have someone wrapped up and are just waiting. If it was a coordinator though, what would be the reason for secrecy? If this Deboer stuff is true, that will be absolutely fricking wild . If they don't have a coach already agreed and ready to make the move.....they are fricked. They're fricked anyway for a bit because of this. Unfortunately, Penn State thinks it is something that it is not.

I thought this was the plan all along, and then all the talk about Sitake started. I have no idea what they are doing, but if they are fortunate to still end up with Hartline they better jump on it.

Anytime you fire a coach, and he finds another job before you find his replacement, there's your sign you made a mistake.

If that were true, this wouldn't be true...

No chance. He might want to move on from Tuscaloosa soon, but he's not going into a situation like THAT. This has 4-8 written all over it. Even with a good coach, you need players. They're going to get raped.
