    The Hire vs. The Hiring Process

    I completely agree Kraft's plans were incompetent and idiotic - he 100% wears this - that's why I'm saying we need to separate the search from the result. Whoever we hire it will either be: (1) considered a success; (2) considered a failure; or (3) mixed emotions. Everything should be done to...

    The Hire vs. The Hiring Process

    Labeling this coaching selection an unmitigated failure and making prophesies that Penn State football is doomed for the next decade is premature and hysterical. We haven’t hired a coach. As the wise Ms. Rachel once sang to my son, “Stop, breathe slowly, in and out; stop, breathe slowly...

    Important Life Lessons To Take From This

    7. Don't assume the job is done until you know it's actually finished.

    Will we hear from Kraft today?

    The transfer portal opens on January 2nd. When Franklin was fired Terry kept the staff in place - the unfortunate position of either getting rid of coaches mid-season and not providing your current players the right resources or allowing guys you know will eventually be part of another staff to...

    If the collective board is having a "Melt Down" over the lack of a public hiring decision is it also capable of having a "Melt Up" later?

    Both can be warranted. There's no denying the initial coach search did not pan out in the way the Athletic Department planned. I'm fine with joining in the rest of the internet and pointing out Kraft had a 50+ day run-up to get this right and failed in a way that is comically bad for a team...

    Will we hear from Kraft today?

    Exactly. Let's play out the hire Terry camp's dream: Kraft is fired tomorrow in a similar manner to Kiffin's exit from the Raiders - full PowerPoint on all of his shortcomings, etc. - and we announce Terry is taking the job immediately. This doesn't somehow magically let us redo the Signing...

    Will we hear from Kraft today?

    Not going to hear anything for awhile - headlines are bad now but the administration would rather wait for the news cycle to play out than rush into a multi-million dollar commitment for their 5th/6th choice after Early Signing Day passed. We can be annoyed it's dragged on this long, but what...

    I don’t see how Kraft survives this….

    Preach, brother 🙏 When you have the deal in place and it leaks that the donors are scrambling to match you, you don't let your own arrogance and ego think that it can't be done by an impassioned fan base. Kraft could have forced Kalani to announce that he was leaving but looked forward to the...

    POLL: Where are you with the coaching search and general state of PSU football?

    Listen y'all, we can't unfuck this search process at this point 😂 - Kraft missed on "his" guys, PSU will have a head coach next season, and any PSU fan should be hoping whoever Kraft hires goes undefeated in spite of how comically bad this process has gotten (the fact our recruiting has somehow...

    New coach

    Better odds than Kraft's visit to SLC.

    New coach

    No one's going to see it coming when Pat Kraft's 10000 IQ master plan finally pays off in the hiring of championship-winning Nick Sirianni tomorrow! All I can do is laugh at this point - clearly this cycle has gone sideways and hopefully the administration can see the Athletic Department was...

    New coach

    Not sure if Kraft is flying out to beg Hartline tomorrow or if a private flight company is making the most inconvenient stop at State College's airport before returning to NetJets' headquarters in Columbus 🤷‍♂️
