    Important Life Lessons To Take From This

    I don't think he would have been let go. But he would have been coaching for his job this season.

    Just for the distraction - where does Drew Allar go in the draft ?

    He will get a shot with someone. He does have talent, but it's arguably of the unpolished kind. Definitely needs polishing. Again, no disrespect to Allar. But I don't think anyone sees him as a day-one pick and probably not day two either.

    Just for the distraction - where does Drew Allar go in the draft ?

    At this point, I would opine anywhere from 5th-7th. I think teams looking for a development prospect will be interested. No disrespect to Allar, but I don't think teams will scout him as someone who is going to jump in right away and be your franchise QB. I see him as the kind of prospect you...

    Important Life Lessons To Take From This

    To me, the lesson learned from this is that cooler heads prevail. I am a Buckeye and we almost had the same situation happen last season. It was the same story here. After the loss to TTUN, the cries for Day's head were intense. People were angry and bitter over choking away a game we simply...

    New coach

    Actually, Josh Pate had predicted this would happen. The day after, he said there is very little chance that Penn State would find a coach commensurate with Penn State's status in the word of CFB. He stated, I quote, "When the music stops, Penn State is going to be left without a chair and...

    New coach

    I had opined from the start that Hartline won't accept the PSU job because it would be too much pressure for a new coach. At Blueblood schools like PSU and OSU, the demands are intense and the pressure unrelenting. These are places where you are expected to win every game and in the new CFP...

    I am going to say it.....

    I opined a month ago that the next HC of Penn State would be a relatively anonymous name that nobody ever brought up. I still think that is the case.

    New coach

    I think people are misreading the dynamics of the situation. I have been saying all along that coaches and their agents are the ones putting out a lot of the rumors connecting this or that coach to the PSU opening. Most of the big-name coaches who are being discussed are probably not...

    Updated Head Coach Poll - who is most likely to be our next coach

    My opinion all along has been that Penn State's next coach ends up being someone that nobody is currently focusing on or discussing.

    Official PSU - Indiana '25 game thread

    FYI.. Knowles D looks exactly like it did when we played Oregon last season at Autzen. We lost that game by a point. That is believed to be the point when the relationship fractured between Day and Knowles. The D had brain fart after brain fart. In the postgame, Nick Saban called the defensive...

    Updated Head Coach Poll - who is most likely to be our next coach

    The assessment of Hartline is correct. I do think he feels a loyalty to Ohio State. Yes he does want to eventually be a HC. Anyone in his position does. But it has always been felt he is the HC in waiting in the future at Ohio State. When that happens is unknown. But Day isn't going to stick...

    I understand. But all PSU had to do to win the games outside OSU was for the defense to make a stop in a critical situation in the final minute of the game. That's it. Prevent the teams from driving down the field relatively unposed and you win. That's all you needed to do to win those games in...

    Official PSU - Indiana '25 game thread

    I really don't think the main issue with Penn State this season has been the offense. Play-calling has led to less than optimal results at times. But I put most of the losses on the defense and it's inability to make stops when the game is on the line. The Penn State offense didn't look great...

    During the season, Knowles D has failed to stop a team from quickly driving down the field when the game was on the line. His genius gameplan involves snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
