I get conversation has shifted from Cignetti comparisons to a potential E-Rob hiring and is now awaiting whatever other update happens next. Throwing my two cents into the ether though after chewing on it for a day, Aurich seems to have traveled a path similar to Dave Aranda pre-Wisconsin to...

To add to this, they have averaged about 30ish pass attempts a game over the past two seasons and have averaged 263 passing yards a game this year. The low sack number isn’t because they shy away from throwing it, although playcalling skews to about 5 more rushes a game.

It would be nice. Rhule also said he wants his next DC to have some say on the staff. Does Rhule go back on this and start making staff changes to get ahead of things and risk alienating a potential DC hire?

To add to this, Franklin's recruiting will directly intefere with Penn State going forward. I was imagining if Solich ended up taking most of his 2003 staff and ending up somewhere still in our region where his recruiting pull would potentially hurt us. Imagine if he went to Cockeye State, KU, or...

Speaking from emotion from this weekend and only knowing what I know, which is not much of an inkling as far as staff changes to give me hope, I'm voting no at the moment. Rhule HAS to show progress next year. I get the harder schedule, but at some point, the team just has to be able to take...

SEC programs are going to have to start adjusting their expectations going forward with that extra conference game as well. They’ve expanded their conference by snagging some of the other conferences' better teams and are now moving toward nine conference games a year. Those eight extra...

Just noting that an article a week ago also listed Terry Bradden as a long shot candidate for this job.

I'm going with Rhule. The vibe of the program in this very moment sucks, but it's also a volatile part of the season. A win against Cockeye (granted I don't see that happening with my current outlook, but you never know) and some of this sting is removed. However, time has definitely sanded down...

It’s worth noting a lot of the PSU coaches could end up in Blacksburg next year as well. This week saw a lot of Penn State support staff already leave Happy Valley to rejoin with him, which honestly might play to our benefit tonight when the Chief of Staff and others leave them scrambling...

While perusing articles today, a paragraph buried deep in here caught my eye. https://footballscoop.com/2025/11/19/southern-university-fcs-louisiana-down-to-finalists-that-include-colorado-running-backs-coach-and-former-nfl-great-hall-of-famer-marshall-faulk

I love this was announced this week. Much like how Rhule to PSU talks was a potential distraction for us that week, I wonder if this news could provide interference right before we come to play. Would some PSU staff be getting phone calls this week about heading to Blacksburg after the season as...

I voted 2-2. I feel like the potential is there one way or another. I just hope we somehow beat UCLA. We are maniacs who are insatiable for further program information and projections. I don’t want to deal with a bye week where we’re lingering on a loss and have to go almost two weeks before we...

I wonder if Dannen has an extension with perks in mind, but wants to maybe wait just 8-9 more days. Or maybe even one or two more days. Extending Rhule when he is at 6-1, or even 7-1 versus a knee jerk extension when Rhule is tied with his mid season 2024 record prior to the slump would go down...

Looks like they they pulled from their assistant to the assistant coach pool. Chris Wilson, the assistant DL coach is now interim DC. Che Hendrix, the assistant DB coach is now coaching safeties. Kolby Smith, who is still the RB coach, is now also the interim OC...

Pretty wild that the dominoes fell to set up Bobby Petrino as interim head coach. That’s one heck of a boomerang after he got canned for all the stuff with Motorcycle Gate.
