At the end of last season O'Brien was the guy...

[BIG TONE SOPRANO]

FWIW, he walked into an infinitely-more difficult situation in 2012 at Pedo State than what we have here. He was in a no-win situation, and still put together a 15-9 record in 2 years with a reduction of 30 scholarships and a political nightmare with the whole place being inbred with Paterno loyalists. Nebraska would be a walk in the park.

Never forgot how much of a cult that place was about Joe P. I am sure thats a reason why Bill got the hell out outta there the first change he got.

Fans went to his house like he was some sort of deity and this was all after everyone knew he turned a blind eye to all that nasty shit that went down.

That always cringed me out man...watching grown men kneel before some football coaches house that covered up child molestation.

Seems reasonable

You'd think Dabo for sure. That'll be a wild coaching search.

I'm not sure I'd want to be the coach that followed Saban. I'm not sure how appealing that would be to the well established coaching candidates.

I could see that. You'll never be good enough unless you're the GOAT

I just don't see him as a long-term solution. Read this and tell me this guy would handle the TC well.

Bill O'Brien, the outsider, arrived at the perfect time; maybe he's leaving at the right time, too

When O'Brien arrived, he was exactly what PSU needed when they needed it. But he was never destined to fit for long at a place where just being a coach wasn't enough for some.

Our shit here is tame compared to Pedo State. JoePa was there 60 years!! He imbedded the entire university with 2 generations of loyal followers.
