Oh that’s right. I remember he played the victim about his blackness.

Here’s how a coach should answer race baiting questions - my Tampa Bay Bucs coach !

Thank god now I can relax

Penn State press conference going on right now. AD giving a super over the top opening speech about how the new coach will be expected to win national championships, land on the moon, bring about world peace, etc., because Penn State is the greatest place in the history of the world.

Definitely setting expectations for a major home run hire.

Only two things could make this true

1 Penn St names its successor and it is not Rhule
2 Rhule is no longer among the living

3. extension

The more I think about it the more I think PSU really screwed up... Franklin was soooort of like a Solich situation I guess because he may have hit his ceiling and it wasn't national title level, but there are SO few coaches who can actually be seen as an improvement over him. Their fans aren't gonna be satisfied by whoever they choose, unless it's like Urban coming out of retirement. And a lot of coaches aren't going to want to enter into that situation in the first place where you can win at such a high level and still get booted (which we ran into in the Solich aftermath).

It's very interesting, and unfortunately it means they might end up going down their list until they get to Rhule, especially if we make some waves down the stretch...

On Rhule's side, I have to say I would genuinely be shocked if he took the job. He has clearly been building an infrastructure here that is set up to be a longterm project, his family loves it here as others have said, and I just get the sense that he views THIS program as the one he wants to take all the way, as opposed to Temple and Baylor being sort of practice runs where he was working on his methods and philosophies. I'd be very surprised if he was so attached to PSU after all these years that he'd throw that all out the window to start from scratch again at a place where he'll get little to no patience for doing things "his way."

If Rhule leaves the list is
1. Lane Kiffin
2. Kalen DeBoer


And I think both a very realistic for Nebraska while many may say they aren’t.

Damn... My heart says Lane, my head says DeBoer.

Finebaum’s head would explode

extension wouldn't do it. Lots of guys have signed an extension and left soon thereafter.

Unless it involves a Lanning-level buyout I guess

Including Rhule:

Sept 2019 signs extension with Baylor & January 2020 accepts Panthers job.

Dannen reworking Rhule's contract would have to include a significant buyout if he leaves.
