We are in a completely different stratosphere as a program than we were even 2 seasons ago. Financial commitment, AD, all up and down the line. The past ended as soon as the powers that be and the folks that had money decided to put their money where their mouths were.

If Mario was making the call on that, she’d be up to day 4,371 and out of markers…
My brother in Christ,
I don’t agree with some of the other posts about how difficult it will be to attract a legit OC, but at the same time I think you’re overselling the opportunity to be successful in the near term. At a number of positions you mention we‘re going to be extremely young and / or have players returning from injury (e.g., oline, rb and te) and wide receiver is a dumpster fire, which is only being exacerbated by the delay in hiring a new OC with the impact on recruiting. In addition, we’re an injury to TVD away from having a disaster at qb.
With all the gray smoke coming out of Hecht if Gattis were returning Mario would have come out in support of him. No way he would allow the beating to continue for months.
Hope you're right.
YEAH!!! Wait...what is it to get "murked"?
If we have uncompromising standards, like Mario says he supposedly has, how can there be no accountability when massive failure occurs? They go hand in hand. And it’s funny how Mario is basically firing him but he would have to completely lie to other coaches if they inquired about gattis in the hopes he could convince them he’s a good coach and take gattis of our hands…that’s why this whole clandestine crap is pathetic, especially after 2 months
Optics were bad last year with manny…guess what? Nobody cared. Same with enos and guess what? Our offense improved dramatically in one year and nobody cared about “optics”
These are fair points. But on the flip side, it would be virtually impossible not to show meaningful improvement over last year. Going forward, the talent level will only continue to increase and the investments in the program will begin paying dividends. The conditions are right to show a good trajectory of improvement because there is basically nowhere to go but up.
Donno does a good job on that pod that he has to do daily. He likely doesn’t have insiders himself but has to rely on others like Blue, Gabby, CIS, Schodell, etc to get info. Some of it is bad info and other is not.
No job is a given for him or the departed announcement would have made. Still waiting on the soft landing for himSo I guess the Penn State WR job isn't a given? I was reading their boards and his name rarely comes up. And even if it did, it was with fairly mixed opinions..some of them even think there may some beef between Franklin and Gattis.
