I believe Pedo State is on day 51 of their coaching search. They have gotten a bunch of coaches extensions and they may even get cock blocked by the Crumbl Cookie CEO. I believe Pederson's was 41 days and he got stood up at the Fayetteville airport.

Idk, social media tends to make the impacts of these things 10x worse.

every single cfb fan on the internet is laughing at Penn States coaching search and posting about it
 
Pederson's was bad, Kraft's probably looks worse because the details aren't confined to a few team-specific message boards, but are playing out in front of the whole world on social media. If we were getting regular leaks like this during 2004, Pedey would probably look worse.

Ultimately depends on what results PSU's next coach gets, IMO.
 
The aftermath for Penn state could end up being much worse. Solich spent the rest of his career exiled in Ohio. Franklin is already recruiting his tits off at VA tech, and god help PSU fans souls if he gets them into the playoffs

True, but there was social media back during the Post Solich debacle. Granted it wasn’t as ingrained in society and most of the laughing came from folks sitting around a TV at a bar laughing at the stories on ESPN.

To add to this, Franklin's recruiting will directly intefere with Penn State going forward.

I was imagining if Solich ended up taking most of his 2003 staff and ending up somewhere still in our region where his recruiting pull would potentially hurt us. Imagine if he went to Cockeye State, KU, or Illinois or something and managed to show that he and his staff could have success. The spectre of his tenure here would be that much more potent, and people would be carefully watching his games and comparing that to what Callahan was doing.

If Kraft pulls a rabbit out of his hat that somehow appeases some people, I'll place Pedersen's debacle at back at No. 1, but we may very well have a new champion as far as an idiot AD napalming their program.
 
I honestly think you have to consider who could have been the NU coach in 2004 if not for ADSP meddling. If the reports are true that Urban Meyer wanted the job but ADSP wanted to be involved in the hiring of assistant coachecs and that turned Urban off, then Nebraska's fumbling of hiring a coach will never be topped.
 
Nebraska was worse because all of the waiting was post-season.

But voted PSU because of the social media thing. The whole world is laughing at them in real time.
