Penn St is on track for Nebraska excellence like it's 2003. Their AD must be best friends with Steve Pederson.
Im going to enjoy laughing at them for many years to come.
Go Hokies.

seriously? byu is a better job than utah. way better tradition. closer ties to the mormon faith that dominates that state. and byu is considered the state's flagship, not utah. they are pretty much the same enrollment.

i agree that penn state has a tougher pathway to the cfp than byu because michigan, ohio state, oregon, and usc are in the b10.

Whittingham makes over twice as much money at Utah than Sitake does at BYU.

There’s still a few guys out there that they could money whip in to taking the job who might be better than Franklin. Would be expensive. We might get to find out what it takes to hire Urban.

it won't be for money but rather ego if sitake leaves for psu - btw, it's in state college not college station. mormon's have plenty of jack. frankly, i have never been that high on sitake seeing him as a product of circumstances - right place, right time. interesting hire if the lions go that direction.
He is making 3 million at BYU

Him leaving for PSU would be really weird. He’s as BYU as anyone could ever imagine. I believe his salary is in part at least a home boy discount. That dude bleeds BYU blue.
He’s doing well at BYU. But you have to wonder how well he’d recruit at an eastern school like PSU. It would be a big gamble to hire him in my opinion.

in the hierarchy of needs, money rates pretty low once fulfilled. a good example: bill snyder never left k-state. mark few continues to coach gonzaga. bob mckillop retired at davidson.

This is just a guess but that BYU coach is making a lot more or getting a lot more than what is reported.

I get it, but if Sitake went to Utah he could possibly double his salary without having to move, or change conferences. And recruiting should be easier to Utah as you don't have to deal with the weird Honor Code and Mormon stigma.

Then again, you would think BYU would have enough money to match Utah.

"Todd McShay went on Bill Simmons' podcast today to shed some light on the Penn State coaching search. McShay basically said that Jimmy Sexton has gone to war with Pat Kraft because of James Franklin being fired. So, Sexton is making it practically impossible for Penn State to hire someone worthwhile."
So, Rhule is back in play after all?*

*Apologies to the highly sensitive bed-wetters.
