We're gonna get the inverse Brian Kelly to LSU, and it'll be Dabo to PSU.

 

[RF-4CCane]

I think Franklin will be on ESPN next year.
Take a year off, make the same money, since PSU has to pay the difference and recharge his batteries.

I don’t think Dabo would be interested in PSU.
I think Dabo is going to end up at Bama, eventually.

Hopefully he gets lucky and Vanday Industries is hiring so he can enjoy himself the Summer of James

I'm hearing Cignetti is the top guy, and only if he says no (which he could bc he loves winning at Indiana and telling people to shove it), they'd move on Rhule and 1-2 others. I think Raiola being linked to Rhule makes him a more attractive candidate than what he truly is. He's lost practically every game against a ranked opponent at Nebraska and Baylor before there. For that, they could have kept Franklin.

Can I just say ^^^^ THIS ^^^^ is why I have been a Mario fan since day 1. It is really hard these days to identify a sure thing at HC. Too much has changed with NIL and free agency (not to mention cultural fit) to know who will deliver results. Every time some yahoo on here would say fire Mario, my first question was always -- and replace him with whom?

Matt Ruhle fits in as a replacement. He is a PSU alumni.

Where/what/who is Penn St version of Colombus/MasTec Bros?

BREAKING NEWS:

I directed my agent to reject PSU's offer to become their next HC.

I remain committed to porsting on CIS.

Please no press inquiries.

Respect my decision.

1) How big is your buyout?

2) How quickly do you think you can get fired?

I would hire Golden over Manny any day. I actually think Golden would do well at PSU.

Either one would be fine with me for that job.

Meanwhile, a bunch of you guys want to sound smart and are throwing out suggestions for them to hire Cignetti, Campbell, Rhule, etc.

No. This is despicable Penn State. Let them have Manny or Al. That is all.

 

[ddann]

Diaz is the biggest reason Penn State team had zero linebackers to stop UCLA and Nico with Tony Rojas injured. That guy couldn't recruit to save his life. Their other starting backer was a former walk-on.

You’re pushing me further into the “They should hire Manny” camp.

 

[ddann]

Well, then, he should go grab a TV gig that pays him $10 an hour.

 

[flips]

Franklin should sign a contract with ESPN for $1/year

 

[Yoyo423]

A current coordinator and a former coordinator

A current coordinator and a former coordinator

horrid list. they didnt can franklin for that

 

[90scane]

PSU going to pay $50m buyout then hire a person with limited HC experience…won’t believe it.

Golden, Rhule, or someone similar. I’d put Rhule at the top.

 

[OldhamA]

It's ridiculous that THEY'VE fired him yet they're requiring him to look for another job.

Like, how do you even police that? "Yeah Florida offered me an interview, but it wasn't for me. Now if you'll excuse me you're cutting into my afternoon tv time".

 

[OldhamA]

Bud Elliott actually acted like hiring Manny would be a decent move on today’s Cover 3 podcast lmfao

Absolutely no way we're fortunate enough to live in that timeline.

I’m actually living in a world where Manny Diaz is a candidate to be the head football coach at a big time B1G program. Hard to fathom it.
