Official State Penn job as it relates to Golden Thread

100% gone. The writing is on the wall, fellas. He's out. LOL at the going home comment. GTFOH then.

 

[CANE4LIFE]

I have faith in Blake James.

We'll see when this all unfolds. He better have his *** getting feelers out already. A committee if necessary. And have this wrapped up in a week because if not, we're in serious trouble. We're probably already ****ed, unless Coley somehow is retained by the next staff. Kayaa is already on the edge and without a future QB, we ****ed.

I dun told yall. Dont know why they are scoffing.

"Break Glass In Case of Emergency".

Here is your contingency plan:

It makes TOO much sense as how UM does these things. They will make a cursory run at ONE bigger name, offer 2.5 million, they will be turned down, and they will turn around and "break the glass", and viola. Done.

He will be had CHEAP. With the extra money, they will bring in a top notch DC. He will keep Coley who will help keep some of the recruits on board. He's supposedly a good recruiter with good contacts in So Fla. Former Cane. So Fla guy. Has HC experience.

This is a TAILOR MADE UM hire right here. This guy is right out of central Casting for Donna Shalala.

Cmon, 4LIFE, are you really believing what you're ready? I'm starting to think you're just trolling now. Mari(a)o? Cmon, don't be silly. If any "in case of emergency" guys out there, it would be much more likely to be Chud than Maria.

Did you read what I wrote on the first line? They will make ONE run at a bigger name. Schiano or Chud. 2.5 Million. They will almost certainly get rejected. This will be the "fall back" plan. Randy 2.5 the Turbo edition. NO ONE ELSE is going to take this gig. The only guys that will be realistic are guys like Carey from NIU, or the guy from Fresno State. Cristobal has been an HC. He has now worked under Saban for a year. Has ties to the U. Has been an Assistant HC. Is supposedly a good recruiter, and they will get him CHEAP, and sell it to themselves by saying that they can afford a top notch DC with the savings.

THINK ABOUT IT brother. Think about how UM does things, and how every coaching search has gone since Butch left.

ONE shot at an A lister, and then we pack it in and take the "safe guy". That guy is Mario Cristobal. If Im Vegas, I would put the BEST odds on him right now.

Two rules for hiring a new coach, follow them and we are back. Don't and we aren't.

NFL coordinator who had won a title as a coordinator and failed as a HC, has to have charisma/players coach.

Current or former HC at a lower end BCS program who did solid to great that coordinated under an elite college coach.

Guys who pass these rules: (Schnelly, JJ, Butch)Schiano, Dantonio, Strong, Mike Stoops, Steve Spagnuolo, Josh McDaniels, Jack Del Rio, Dan Mullen......I'm sure there are several other NFL guys I can't think of...Guys who were taken before we could who fit this: Sumlin, Sarkisian.

Guys who fail these rules: (Coker, Shannon, Golden, Dennis Erickson) James Franklin, Cristobal, Chud, Patterson, Kirby Smart, Muschamp, Kiffin, and on and on.

Is it coincidence that every coach we had who didn't fit within these rules failed here, and the ones who did had wild success?

Dennis Erickson failed these rules but won two chippers here? While not perfect I doubt he could be considered a failure. He had some positive qualities unlike Coker.

This guy C4Life is a lunatic. I hope his family has somewhere safe to stay.

No chance of holding this class together unless you have home-run hire which we won't have.

Coordinators start looking around, **** starts happening fast, and we are left with out ****s in our hand again.

Could not be worst timing I don't think. 5 more years of mediocracy easy.

This is exactly my point. All of you who want Al Golden gone, just remember it starts the rebuilding process all over again. Remember that when in three years you are calling for Cristobal's, Kirby Smart's, or Chud's head. Because if Al leaves this year and this class falls apart which it probably will. We will be lucky to sniff the BCS by 2020

Define "fall apart".

Who's bouncing? Where are they going?

If we get someone like Petrino (and retain Hurlie Brown), I think most guys would stay on board.

Exactly. There are some bytch-made actresses on here caught up deep in the melodrama. If we make a good hire like Petrino guys will be lining up to play in his offense. I'm sure we'd keep our top recruiters on staff too. We'd hold on to the great majority of the class. I remember everyone freaking out when Butch left, and not only did ****er keep the class together but he added guys like Gore and Parrish.

Realistically, how bad would the recruiting class fall apart if Golden leaves but we retain Coley?

Now we wait

Kaaya and Yearby would probably stick.

Tough to tell but I expect to lose a bunch of guys. Golden is a top notch recruiter for sure.

 

[Gatorhater]

Hey, have beaten the Cook threads yet? 84 pages is not bad. Let's see if I can add something. I want Al to stay and get Mark the PSU job. That said, Al failed miserably this year after starting 7-0. Now PSU looks like they might offer him a job. So a failed ACC coach gets job offer at major Big 10 member. Wow, I thought we were in bad shape. PSU must truly be on its last legs. Ubran will score 100 on Mark.

Coker won a ship too. Both let the program rot and eventually were seen as having won with the previous coaches failures. Dennis brought as much bad in the end as he did good. Same as Coker. Both have rings, neither is a guy who built or sustained the program, in fact both did the opposite. And this is from a Dennis fan, I personally like the guy. But he rode JJs wave and when it died showed who he really was.

Valentine, but most of the class would stay imo...

CaneSport has confirmed that Al Golden has been offered the head coaching job at Penn State. While expected to take it, no word yet from Al
