It looks like he's coached WR's and CB's in the past. I don't think we'd be getting rid of Williams or Shorts.

Unlimited number on the coaching staff.

He's as elite as far as assistants as they come.

Wonder how many years that's for. This a 5 or 6 year deal that resets the whole market, or a 10 year deal that keeps him similar per year?

I'd say he's an elite recruiter. It's not like Penn State was pumping out elite DBs to the NFL. I wouldn't mind him on the staff, just don't think he's better than Addison.

Could just do db and safety assignments.
Both are good recruiters.

If Coach Satt does leave this off season I want to see Rhule make a move on Ty Howle. Wonder if Rhule needs him, also a Penn state alumni

Q: Who leads the nation with most CB's drafted since 2015?

A: Terry Smith

😂 at anyone taking Addison over him.

The only thing I’ve noticed on message boards is they think Kraft really screwed up. And now fans are calling for him to be fired

Agree . The craft side of things is ridiculous right now, but young engineers is ridiculous as well. Most of our young engineers think that after 1 year they should be the PM on a 300M dollar project, the bad part is a lot of these companies will then hire them as a Project Engineer after 1-2 years and then they fail and can't figure out why. The nuts part was when I started with Kiewit in 2007, 60% of the company was under 26 years old. There was a massive gap in the middle ground because you either stayed with them and road the wave of being moved every year of 7 months or you bounced because all of the companies loved Kiewit people because of how they were trained. Loyalty is essentially dead anymore and most of the younger folks will make a change for less than 5K salary uptick.

Loyalty is only ever talked about in one direction nowadays.

IMO, it's to our advantage Chesney brings his entire staff as it allows us to land Terry Smith.

Rhule gave him his first shot at college coaching, straight from high school.

Hire him as what? Not that I would care what his position is. He’s a great coach.

JankTheTank · 2025-11-22T11:25:21-0600

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 midweek to deal with those responsibility vacuums.

CB coach, passing game coordinator whatever it takes to get him here.

Exactly. Co-dc whatever it takes.

Was wondering the same thing. At 5 years that’s $18,000,000 per 👀

Is anyone currently making more than $12-13 mil? This can’t be sustainable. So what will next year’s hot coach on the market demand? $22 million a year? Jesus Christ…

I think it's largely due to the $20 million revenue share cap. a lot of ACC and Big 12 schools are struggling to afford it, but the Big 10 and SEC make so much more money it's trivial for them. and since the schools can't directly fund NIL they see coaches as the best return on investment

If the revenue share was $30-40 million I think you'd see lower coaching salaries much like the NFL (relative to what the players make). In college we're at a stage where the coaching staff makes more than the entire roster, and we aren't far from just the HC making more than his whole team combined

I think this will be a big factor in the eventual move to a super league. Why should schools like Bama and Ohio st be willing to artificially limit themselves to the same salary cap as teams like Cockeye state and Syracuse?

It’s so fucked. Why they thought they could just roll out the portal and NIL without any universal regulations is mind numbingly stupid and short sited.

In addition to HCs making $10-20 million a year. You have some players making $3-5 million a year, while some of their teammates are making 10-15K or barely anything at all. You have assistant coaches and coordinators making less than a million coaching 18-19 year olds making over $3 million a year.

Whole thing is a ridiculous mess from top to bottom and in 100 different ways.

Feels like there has to be a correction on coaches salaries at some point.
