Pat Forde column on Coaching Carousel Chaos (Rhule)

If Penn State comes open they HAVE to go after someone they believe is better than Franklin - and for all the shit he gets, that means someone very good.

My List of Who Makes Sense:

1. Brian Kelly - LSU ain't seeming to work out as a fit. I think he'd bounce for the North if he could. Basically redo ND with better recruiting.

2. Cignetti - Kill Indiana AND get a hot coach that seemingly has the big time figured out. He wants to go somewhere bigger than IU with that ego of his, no matter what he will ever say. He would think he can make PSU the Bama of the North

3. Dillingham - he's too big to be at ASU forever. Some big program will give him a shot. He'd be damn good in my opinion

4. Redo the Vandy to PSU pipeline - Clark Lea - this would be a fuggin GAMBLE, but both come from Vandy, both are bald, people may not even notice you made a change.

5. Drinkwitz to PSU instead of wherever else he'd be rumored - he's got the NIL and Portal DOWN and would be great at a legit power in my opinion.

If Matt Rhule did last year what he seems to be doing this year, he may be on the table. But no one would consider him an upgrade based on how Nebraska has gone, even if I believe he's right for us.

I’d disagree Kelly is better than Franklin, but I get it. He still gets a lot of credit.
 
Also, he killed a guy…

I’d say that’s a lot of a stretch, but Kelly is a piece of shit.

That doesn’t make him unique as a FBS level coach, but I’m not going that far.

Paterno not doing anything when Sandusky was raping little boys? I’m good with calling him a pedo by proxy.

I mean, 50mph winds and made the kid go up on a lift to record the practice like normal if I recall. He killed the kid…

Poor judgement to be sure, but that’s not what I recall.

Again, Kelly is a world class peckerhead, but I’m going to stop short of saying he killed a kid.

I wasn’t there, so.

The elevated stand was visibly teetering back and forth in the high winds. Some 18 yr old kid is not gonna lower himself down on his own whim and risk getting yelled at by his bosses on the FB staff.

It's 100% on Kelly as the CEO of the program to see that and mitigate risk and tell the OPS/video team to bring the elevator down.

I won't say he killed the kid and many others were at fault. But the adults had to call for that thing to be lowered bc an 18 yr old kid isn't gonna have the stones to go against orders.

Definitely blood on Kelly's hands. And their football OPS guy. I know that's harsh. But they're paid to run the entire show. That happened on their watch.
 
Brian Kelly
Feels like a more annoying Franklin
Clark Lea
He's home, and might go elsewhere for a lot of money but I'd be mildly shocked. I know for a fact Bama put out feelers after FSU game with Lea. Source said that Lea was outwardly saying no to that, but the source is a current booster and an old admin in the AD at Vandy so Lea wouldn't have said otherwise to him.
Drinkwitz
Extra goofy that also would frustrate Penn State. He would jump some big programs, but also be known for losing a game or two he shouldn't. If Dan Mullen cared about recruiting he would be dangerous.
 
I feel like there is a dollar amount in the millions where happiness and family supersedes the deficit you can receive from other programs.

6 million to drive 10 minutes on Easter to my mom's house and have my kids see their grandparents weekly on both sides or 10 million to deal with relentless pressure and be away from family?

And one thing to keep in mind, Power 4 coaches receive housing stipends per month that are equal everywhere.
Idk, coach 3 years for 10 is same as 5 for 6. Since I only want the 30 million to retire on, I get to have 2 more years of retirement.
 
The one good thing about Dillingham being a young coach in happy valley is that his assistant could molest children and he wouldn’t face any consequences for 30 years
Oh No Wtf GIF
 
Texas gets pissy when he only makes the final 4 three times in five years and fires him.

Lane comes home

Ya know what, in the hypotheticals of Rhule taking the Penn State job if it opened up, you throw the absolute United States of America at Lane Kiffin to come here, and I'm fully on board with that. Recruiting would get WILD around here.
 
While we are on Coaching Carousel - I heard from a lil birdie that Kirk was furious with Wisconsin when they did Chryst dirty mid-season.

Would be wonderful if he put the nail in the #2ndChoice coffin this weekend. Remember when everyone thought we were stupid for not taking him?
