It's interesting what happened after the 1998 season. Sandy Barbour (the current Penn State AD) hired Chris Scelfo instead of RichRod, and things went downhill from there. But I remember reading the following thread a few years ago that says Barbour wanted RichRod but was overruled, although I think she is still blamed for letting RichRod get away. I'm mentioning this in case anyone here has anything to add to the gossip.


But it was Chris Scelfo's dream job and he was one of us! Who cares if he was a position coach?

It really would have been interesting to see what ole DickRod could have done with Patrick Ramsey, JP Losman, Roydell Williams, Mewelde Moore, etc. There was a lot of talent on those pre-Katrina teams that was squandered, especially the 1999 and 2002 teams.

Wasn’t RR waiting in a green suit to be announced as HC? They fricked him over he would have done better than Scelfo

Yea, that shirt sucks.

I still have an old shirt from 98 that says like "Perfect Season" and has a Tulane helmet on top of a pile of helmets of all the opponents from that year.

Tulane should have been in the Sugar Bowl in 1998; the SB committee was threatened by the cartel that it would lose its spot in future major bowl rotations if they picked Tulane. So they didn't.

It would have been really interesting to see how many sluts RR would have rawed as HC of the Green Wave.
