Does Penn St hire Rhule

[Jim14510]

This guy works for a PSU site I believe

"Oh, and Dylan Raiola has another year"

That would be really painful.

 

[22*43*51]

…but this would be a terrible betrayal of the team and the University.

Right? I mean, where are his loyalties?

Who would do things this openly in the middle of the season (you'd have to be a moron to think word would not get out)? I don't know what the explanation is, but I can't believe whoever this is, is coming to see Rhule. This is also a short week. If he wants the job, so be it, but this would be a terrible betrayal of the team and the University.

there's also no reason to have an in-person meeting. at this stage it would all be going through intermediaries and his agent. if he wants to talk to his old boss about the job a phone call or zoom meeting would be just as good

Rhule isnt leaving a Top 25 program to slum it at PSU

If you’re going to charter a flight for this purpose it would be into Lincoln. Nothing burger here.

No hate on Rhule but why would Penn state pay a $50m buyout for a guy who can’t win top 10 games for a coach who can’t win top 25 teams?

Because it is $5M, not $50M

I’m sure Dylan would love going to any other big ten school that’s been calling him a fat mahomes cosplayer for the last two years

 

[Jim14510]

If Rhule left he would have to move his podcast business. Seems like a terrible idea.

Meh. He'd just exchange Penn St saying it for Nebraska.

Penn State Fires James Franklin, Will Pay Nearly $50M Buyout

Franklin’s buyout is the largest in college sports since Texas A&M paid Jimbo Fisher $76.8 million after firing him in 2023.

Rhule wouldn’t talk directly with them at this point. His agent will commincate with them and will talk to Rhule. Same with other candidates. Then they can all deny talking to PSU about the job. A face to face would be later on when they are trying to close the deal with whoever they are going after. At least that makes the most sense to me.

Also Nebraska is going to play a football game at PSU later this year. If they wanted a face to face meeting, it could easily happen then.

I think everyone would agree Rhule would not be #1 on Penn St list. Doesn't mean they couldn't fall to him.

 

[Gman1228]

The fans and how poorly they treated Franklin and his family is why I don’t believe Rhule will take that job. He spoke often how hard it was on him and the family in Carolina when things weren’t going well. Hell, Franklin was winning and he was consistently harassed by those weirdos.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the buyout that would have to be paid to Nebraska (presumably by the new employer) if Rhule left, which is $5M.

Yes, the Penn St buyout is nominally $50M, but it will be a lot less because Franklin will want a settlement that allows him to take a job he wants when he sees fit.
