    tOSU dual of the century - deja vu

    I still remember Tan Tom near the end of the match red faced and yelling at Kolin Moore. I don't know what he was saying, but I imagine it was along the lines of, "I bought robes and you embarrass me".

    I am going to say it.....

    Regardless of who gets hired, timing is an issue. The recruiting class is gone, and the roster will potentially be devastated in the transfer portal. Even the most competent individual will not succeed if put in an impossible situation. Sort of like asking the best bucket brigade firemen in the...

    Do you want PSU to hire Terry Smith as Head Coach?

    That is a possibility, under what statute or case law precedent would it not be allowed?

    Do you want PSU to hire Terry Smith as Head Coach?

    Ok, you might be correct with regard to the NBA and MLB. My point is that there are no limitations with regard to a contract that Terry Smith could be offered. Unlike professional sports leagues that have player's unions, there is no NCAA coaches' union that I am aware.

    Do you want PSU to hire Terry Smith as Head Coach?

    My goodness, you're second sentence answers your own question. A coach who lacks demand elsewhere would find a contract of this structure attractive. If your alternatives are limited, which would you go for? Position coach at 750K or head coach with a 5 year 30 million contract with a guaranteed...

    OT - Terry Smith for Head Coach?

    And the reason that there is now a 'nuclear option' is that the mob must be appeased. Yes, the moment can be an influence for bad decisions. but being the contrarian that I am for possibilities, sometimes it is in the moment that the best course of action is revealed. I have a wait and see...

    Perhaps, there is certainly a lot of potential discovery.

    Do you want PSU to hire Terry Smith as Head Coach?

    I agree with your argument. Maybe Chesney is the better choice, Maybe, it is Terry. I do not have all of the information to be certain of what is the best choice. That is Pat Kraft's job.

    Do you want PSU to hire Terry Smith as Head Coach?

    The guarantee is for two years. The contract can be for 5, 6 or 7 years. It is not too different than the contracts given to MLB, NFL or NBA players and in some cases their coaches / managers. The elite players (Aaron Judge, Shohei Otani and similar elite players) receive the mega guarantees...
