From what I am hearing about O'Brien

    I'm afraid I just blue myself!

    We're getting closer and closer to the new season. I need to watch through again, just in case they had jokes set up in the first three seasons that are going to pay off now. Need to go in to the new season sharp.

    I would love to know what mark emmert gives you to participate in the donkey shows with him.

    No alot more explaining to do than that. Like when a recruits family next yr asks him why their son should go play for you when u interviewed to leave after one season.

    Answer: "Because I'm an NFL caliber coach who can outcoach everyone else recruiting your son."

    OB just took Joe Pa's thrown. Most powerful man at Penn State.

    Not just PSU....most powerful in PA, just like the NCAA wantedsarcasm

    What was this huge step up by the university? Money for him or assistants etc? Anyone?

    Probably gonna have to wait a bit on that. News broke that he was staying just now. Contract/negotiation details don't come out for a little while after.

    It was not about the money. That was taken care of a while ago. (God bless hockey) sticking point was not money related

    Alot of folks in this thread prematurely shot their load on what was supposed to be a dry run.

    This has all been very traumatic--they may need to see the world's first and only analrapist.

    They didn't really have much choice. BOB had them by the balls.

    By the balls...you mean no offer in hand? 18 million hanging over his head? The only time you have your employer by the balls is if you actually have that other offer. I must have missed the part where Cleveland offered him the job. 4 hours after the report of his interview being leaked and he is all PSU again. I love PSU and hope they win a ton of games, but I don't buy what some are selling here. I've never walked into anyones office after an interview and demanded crap without a written offer in hand. This leverage he had must have been a legal piece of information in his contract or something because a 8 win coach in his first year with an 18 million buyout is not the spitting image of leverage. To us the fans who think he is a good coach...maybe that is the case, but I'm not seeing this from a business or even common sense stand point. More like he interviewed, didn't have an offer yet, info got leaked and he is all in with PSU as he has to be one month out from LOI with no offer in hand.

    i think there was a joke buried in there that Tobias is an albino black man. hoping they pay that one off.

  • Still got to wonder if the buyout was a huge stumbling block.

    That's right, I saw that on reddit a few months back. There were a few things throughout the show that hint to that.

    You do realize PSU would have been notified of his interviews, right? They weren't aware because of a leak. And you should threaten to walk without a job offer in hand sometime. I got a $20K raise that way.

    It was tacos. The tough part was that he demanded fresh Jack in the Box tacos, but there aren't any franchises out east.

    You son of a bitch, first bringing up tacos, now JitB tacos? There isn't a JitB for like over an hour and a half one way drive. Shit.

  • I'm glad OB won't lie down and be the administrators bitch. He showed them that he will push the envelope. If Dave Joyner were smart and savy he'd be patting himself on the back right now, because he just got more confirmation that the coach he hired was and is the exact right hire
