    Damn, my premium account ran out on Monday over there. Anybody know why I can't downvote? Just wondering, not that i do it a lot but I've been at my daily limit for several days now without casting a single one in about a week.

    In order to gain down votes back, you'll need to give out more up votes. Basically for every one down vote, you have to give out 4 up votes or else you run the risk of losing down votes each day to the point where you may start out with zero. We've set it up this way to avoid abuse with the down vote button.

    Randomly, if there is a "big time" hire out of left field...I vote for Bob Stoops, who has essentially capped out at Oklahoma, and might be getting bored down there.

    Problem with Stoops is he just built a mansion in Normon that he will never be able to sell.

  • This is by no way an insult, but you guys gotta open up your eyes on this coaching hunt. You are no doubt a great institution but its not like you have been relevant enough to have pick of the litter without the scandal talk. Bob Stoops? Dudes dont leave big time jobs unless you are a schmuck like Urban. Trust me, be happy with whatever coach you guys get, you dont need a big time hire.

    I will agree and i will disagree. First PSU has been relevant as they are going for their 3rd 10 win season in 4 years (list the schools who can say that). To say that PSU is not relevant is just idiotic.

    Second PSU needs a big time hire. 108,000 seats wont sell with a safe hire. PSU needs to generate excitement in the fan base.

    Lastly whether we want to admit it or not a successful winning team will help PSU move past this quicker.

    I agree that PSU doesn't get a "big time hire" ... I just don't think it will happen.

    It's not that PSU can't be great, it's just that right now PSU isn't positioned well and I don't think we have many or any big timers ready to leave their program.

    It would be nice, but I just don't see how Bob Stoops leave Oklahoma for PSU, period.

    If winning was easy even losers would do it.

    PSU football is #2 in the nation in profitability, and in the Top 5 for revenue (and that is before our STEP program was implemented). We are a big time program that has underachieved for years thanks to Joe, his son, and a staff containing guys just hanging on. We'll get past this scandal and be a force again. Sooner than you think, or hope for.

    The only issue with this is how much of the profitability/popularity was due to Joe? How much of that will we lose?

    What do you know about being a big time program... it takes about 3 home games for the U to equal the attendence that PSU has at one. Also, we have right around the 10th best record over the past 6 years, and a couple Big Ten championships to boot... we haven't been elite, but we certainly have been at the least "very good". And let's be honest... if we want your coach, he would be ours. We have no idea who will eventually get hired, but I'm willing to bet that it will be a fairly decent name... certainly better than a guy that we would "just be happy to get".

  • Seriously, someone like this poster should be banned for a couple of months. Nobody can find the post he's talking about. Then, people question him and he disappears. This is the definition of trolling.

    agree. I was surprised this thing wasn't deleted by the time I woke up this morning. It is such an obvious pathetic troll job.

    yeah, so the staff has been told a hire has been made and they will all not be retained. Also, hey Mr. Bradley we have you scheduled for an interview later this week. See you then. Sure, I believe this.loco

  • Anything from pennlive. Take it, crumple it up and throw it in the toilet, then flush. It's more credible then.

    Where will Golden win a championship at first? I wasnt being an a-hole when I said what I said. Now you can have your opinion about Miami and there fans but we are on national TV when we play Bethune Cookman. We have 3 of the top 5 televised games ever. Our players define the NFL. We are called the U for a reason(and its not cause our players cant spell anything else.) We played in a national championship game 8 times out of 30 years. We won 5. We are a big program without the alumni. You guys should have better fan support. 45,000 graduates a year vs. 3000, do the math. Miami is a top 40 institution and a private school. I am pretty sure Golden knows that he wasnt considered for your job when times were good and he sure as hell isnt going to come there now as a backup plan. I said you guys were a great program but in the national scene just havent been as relevant as you think. Va Tech has 7 10 win seasons, can they go hand pick a coach? No. Coaches gravitate to the south cause the talent is in their back yards. I think you guys will get a great coach, but some of the names you guys have been throwing out there are just irrational.

    We just had our search last year. The rumors said the same things. Jon Gruden, Bob Stoops....we got Golden. Most of our fans were going nuts, cause they didnt understand that all great coaches came from somewhere small. Golden is great, and cause we went thru that, I am shedding light on what we experienced.

    Job appeal is composed of many factors. Past on-field success is only one piece of the puzzle.

    We don't need to be stealing coaches from Duke, Navy or for God's sake, Harvard either. That would be like a self-imposed death penalty for PSU. Telling us to be happy with any of those three is somewhat foolish.

  • Another rumor posted on pennlive.....

    I dont know what the f to believe anymore......

    "Just heard from a very reliable source, that Munchak is definately the dude!!!! They (Joyner and Erickson) will be announcing on Saturday. Also heard that LJ and Vandy will not make the cut for asst's. The rest were never going to be an option. The announcement was to be delayed due to Titans NFL playoffs in view, but the possibilities of recruits getting squirrelly, has forced a sooner announcement. Also heard that Richt was a finalist. The reason that this is being so tightly wrapped, was not to show the public that this decision was more important than the upcoming trial. It seems as though they will make an announcement, but it will be made very quietly. So hopefully we get the news and E$PN will be the last to know."

    Thanks for posting it, arch.

    Have a very difficult time believing it to be true though. Especially since the NFL season isn't over yet and they'd be announcing it the day before Tennessee plays a game.

    I think the timeline of announcing a HC depends more on the HC than potential recruits.
