Penn State will not ever have the talent of an LSU team. EVER!! Word.


You have no idea what youre talking about.

Oregon needed two OT's to get past Penn State.


Penn State is like LSU this year. Tons of talent and if you catch them when they are focused they're tough to beat. Especially in happy valley.

Plus oregon beat them before their free fall, they were ranked number 2.
We need to stop thinking of Indiana as one of the little guys..

They have some beasts on that team, especially on defense...and those receivers are big and physical.

They dont have a shortage of talent.
Top of Big 10 is better than the top of the SEC. The SEC is better in the middle, and Purdue, Maryland, Michigan State, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Moo State all suck.

Georgia, Alabama or Ole Miss are NOT better than those 2 teams playing last night.
Lane kiffin is making 13 million and he's won the same thing as Campbell - Jack shite
Rich Rods MO.

Always blows up programs when he gets there and starts over.

He'll be available. Getting fired at penn state soon after coaching them to their worst defense in years, with 9 returning starters..

His defenses are overly complex and dont work well in an era where plays come and go on a yearly basis.

Professional coaching searches dont play out like a soap opera. Penn State prefers to stay under the radar but they have conducted a couple dozen interviews. I wouldn't be surprised if they went the route of OSU, Michigan, Clemson etc and promote Terry Smith from within.

They wont be throwing around $100 million contracts just to buy them out in 4 years like a certain SEC school. They learned that lesson with franklin.
Penn State draws alot if eyeballs. If it was Rutgers vs MSU it wouldn't be on

Penn St isn’t as good a program as TAMU


:confused:

Penn State is a borderline blue blood and the king of the northeast. Texas A&M isnt on that level They are a mediocre football school with significant resources and can certainly pay him if they want but PSU is a more prestigious job.
The stories of the hell raising Dawson, Joe Deforest and Dana Holgorsen did in Morgantown are legendary.
BIG 10 is top heavy this year. OSU AND IU are clearly the best 2 teams in the country and Oregon is top 5...Michigan, Washington and Illinois are top 20 or so and then is a huge fall off...Penn State and Wisconsin being as bad as they are hurt any type of parity
He hired him the first place which was a mistake.

Woodward is a lazy AD who makes lazy hires...Very linear thinking which doesnt seem to go beyond "has been successful before, people know his name. Sign him"
Depends on what goals are. If you want to be winning program but a step below the top dogs franklin is your guy. However if you want to win a championship hes not. Last year was as good of a chance as he will have and he blew against ND, a team where PSU was vastly more talented.

Penn State has the infrastructure and resources to compete for championships and it became apparent franklin wasnt going to win one.

The “excuse” Penn st will use for Rhule… he’s a good coach and wins just hasn’t had the resources or program to get over the hump (same excuse we at LSU used for Kelly)


Most PSU fans would revolt at this. There are some influential Penn Staters that want him but most of them can see how hiring someone because theyre "one of us" is usually a disaster.
Penn St will be targeting a different group than FL and LSU. Seems like LSU/FL will be after Kiffin and Drinkwitz while PSU is going to try to get Joe Brady, Brian Hartline or Matt Rhule.

There's talk they are looking at Deboer and Elko but those guys will be deep into the playoffs and PSU doesnt want to wait that long.
Coach firings dont really work like that...LSU and Penn State didnt expect to fire their coaches this year so no, they dont really have anyone lined up.

When a coach completely loses a fan base and locker room you need to make the move immediately, and there are hardly ever deals already done.

They'll be starting at square one.

Hes on PSUs radar...the Bills owner is a PSU alum and one of their biggest posters...hes trying to push brady there
Penn State just fired a better version of Brian Kelly...the arent downgrading.
Flacco is the perfect frick it let er rip kinda guy...works nice when you have those receiving threats.
