If Rhule leaves for PSU

I asked Chat GPT what the current betting odds were for Penn State coaching candidates. Rhule is still #1 followed by Matt Campbell and Drink. I know, it's AI, but still interesting he seems to be the guy.
With as many jobs that are and will come open there won’t be many great choices out there for everyone looking. Nebraska and others would have to take someone else’s failure like Brian Kelly or James Franklin or raid what looks like a good coach from one of the scab conferences like Big 12/ACC

I actually think Brian Kelly would be a good fit at PSU. He's always been an oddball at LSU and in the SEC. He's more of a Big 10 area guy and would probably do well. Of course, well isn't good enough.
I've got a feeling that Kelly rubs people the wrong way wherever he’s at - and wears out his welcome pretty fast regardless of his success. Kind of like Harbaugh.

Can we just promote Ekeler to Head Coach if Rhule leaves? I say that jokingly (sort of). What he has done for Special Teams is night and day - sort of Cignetti like.
We really need miracle workers on the Offensive and Defensive Lines to be more competitive.

Plus he looked the other way when a student died on his watch. Penn St will love that
I really think that Campbell is happy with the zero pressure, zero expectations and crazy huge paycheck at ISU.
Promoting Ek isn’t as crazy as it might sound. He’s a detail oriented driver. The problem is that it would take away from special teams. Elk’s only weakness might be on offense but I can almost guarantee we wouldn’t be throwing the ball 30+ times in a game. Dual threat QBs would be a requirement for him. That said, Rhule has been recruiting guys with wheels. Dayton maybe excluded but I don’t believe Dayton will get the automatic start like Dylan. He’s going to have to earn it with the QB we’re going to have.
All that means is that there are have been a bunch of posts on the interwebs about Matt Rhule getting the job. AI doesn't have a magic 8 ball. It just reads through all of the posts and articles a lot more quickly than you or I could.
We're going to end up with a guy who nearly won a super bowl this decade.
PSU fans would burn the stadium to the ground if they hired our loser coach.
I mean, if they want to look ****** and have 5-6 win seasons he’s your

There are very few major college coaches who would turn down an opportunity for a step up the professional ladder and bag a bigger paycheck. My guess is that Matt Campbell is a climber.
Penn State would bring more pressure but also a better chance to win a national championship …which, if you are a coach, is the top step.
With the LSU and Florida jobs now open, Penn State is probably only the 3rd best opening right now. They may have to settle for Rhule.
I mean, he has turned down jobs almost ever season for like 7 years in a row.
What college job offers has Matt Campbell rejected in the last 7 years?
Edit: I recall an offer by the Detroit Lions, don’t recall any others. I believe he has said publicly that he wants to stay at the college level.

Rhule 44% then Brady...don't remember his percentage.. is what I just read on a Penn board articke
Kraft wants Rhule because he hired him Before. He is trying to get the old PSU money ( TO at NU ) to back him because Rhule is a PSU . The New ( current money) wants someone like Brady or Hartline ( OSU) we will see who wins out .
They need to decide soon before Nebraska misses out on coaches like James Franklin and Brian Kelly
Not for what the poster described. It's just scraping info from the web. I have used some pretty smart AI for BI development though. It's starting to "get smart". But yeah, AI doesn't know anything more about football coaches than anyone else. I was cracking up as I read that post: "I know it's just AI, but wow, amazing".
This is a different climate than even 5 years ago. Coaches are getting fired mid-season after having lots of success in previous years. A big buyout doesn't do you much unless you want to sit out for a few years, which isn't good for older coaches. Football coaches are nuts and don't want early retirement....they aren't normal people, they aren't going to suddenly settle down and hang with the wife and go fishing, they are obsessed with competition and the attention that the sport brings their psycho minds. Penn State kind of sucks compared to a lot of jobs opening up...and young coaches may just be happy building with less pressure. Pennsylvania itself is a **** hole, and of course the culture in the area is dubious. This is why I think they will act like they are searching and "strike out", and then settle on Rhule. He'll say the right stuff and people will settle down and he will suck, but that isn't our problem.
My point wasn’t that AI was the gospel, it was so many people (which, as you say, feeds the algorithm) were still talking Rhule to Penn St. I have said all along I don’t think you fire James Franklin to hire Matt Rhule.Not for what the poster described.
