    Does Penn St hire Rhule

    Let me be clear. I agree with you. I'm not naive - I don't trust CFB HCs as far as I can throw em. He could absolutely leave for PSU no matter what he says. My only point is that Rhule is going to have to do a HELL of a lot more lying in this situation than he did at Temple or Baylor. His...

    Does Penn St hire Rhule

    Agreed. And again, my BS meter has been going off all day. I mean, we're 2 hrs into this surprise coaching search and there's already an odds-on favorite?? It's just not believable. But this "make shit up" stuff goes on because it benefits all 3 parties: Agent/coach - potential $$...

    Does Penn St hire Rhule

    I agree with you. Just pointing out that he was largely under the radar at Temple and Baylor so it was pretty easy to do that. And Temple it was obvious he was moving on to a bigger gig anyway. This is different bc he has proclaimed he wants to retire here. And he's scheduled about 5-8 media...

    Does Penn St hire Rhule

    I mean, maybe he's Kraft's first option, who knows. But I think if Rhule wants to be at PSU he'll be there. I don't think he'd drag out a big back and forth.

    Does Penn St hire Rhule

    I think PSU is going to find this out in their search. TBF if Rhule is 5 or 6 on their board, that may be a reason they get to him. I just think it's more trouble than it's worth. If I had a top 20 HC job & was happy, I'd probably stay there over going to PSU. If I was at VA Tech or K-State...

    LOL who is that uncomfortable for, VT fans? No one wants to coach at VT over Nebraska, buddy.

    Does Penn St hire Rhule

    Was listening to Doc Talk (min 7:00) and noted I.owa fan Travis Justice was talking about how much Rhule has Dannen/NU "by the balls". More I think about, this feels like Trace Armstrong working OT to get his client (Rhule) a raise. I've never seen such a coordinated media effort to all agree on...

    Does Penn St hire Rhule

    ND is better in every way. And I'm an ND HATER. I really think PSU's location is a huge pain in the ass. PA and NJ put out some good players - that is it's only advantage. It's really just a pain to get in and out of. And now with the coast-to-coast nature of CFB...I think PSU is in a worse...

    Does Penn St hire Rhule

    His list is crazy. He talks about how this hire will need to be a "seismic shift" for PSU and a big statement hire....and then he lists a couple no-name up & comers on it (that casual fan wouldn't know). My point is that this is a PSU former player, has lots of ties to PSU people, conceivably...

    Does Penn St hire Rhule

    On this note, went to check in w former PSU player Adam Breneman who does a lot of CFB content and has a good sized following. He did his short list for PSU and didn't even include Rhule on it LOL. He did add MR later. Just interesting that when thinking of Home Run hires, Rhule's name didn't...

    Does Penn St hire Rhule

    I just think it was so toxic in State College that they had to make a move. Chance of going like 4-8 too scary. Bring an interim in and maybe you get a bounce in some of these games. Like UCLA has gotten. Anyone PSU hires is likely employed now. If it's Cignetti (which it won't be) he could be...

    Does Penn St hire Rhule

    If Rhule was an alumnus from somewhere completely unrelated like, NC St or Cal, his CV would be a terrible fit for this opening. It would surprise me if he was actually their 1st choice, given the fact that PSU fans seem to be 60%+ against the hire. Rhule knows the terrain though and I could...

    Penn State fires Franklin

    Saw this comment on the CBS CFB Instagram post on Rhule. And I think it's spot on. Rhule's agent is Trace Armstrong BTW
