Yeah, maybe he should have shown more humility and said something like “we’re going to dominate the state” in recruiting.
Or he could wait until he beats an Oregon or Ohio State and then explain that he is gratified to give "the university and fan base" the kind of team it's history deserves. I think the expression here is "we beat the teams without a pulse." I don't think beating Marshall, Wisconsin and Maryland is what he was brought in here to do. Penn State has beaten Washington (a first half blowout) and USC (away). Perhaps beating Michigan in the big house is his opportunity to boast.

any loss with no big game on the schedule would not be acceptable

12-0 is the floor
Not taking into account possible injuries for the opponents, PSU most likely will be a solid underdog against Washington and Michigan because those games are on the road and against USC because they probably have the best qb that PSU will face.

neither is likely to be a top 5 team, not really "big" games

Lots of talk and it’s easy for him to say in 2026 but the landscape and toxicity was very, very different for BOB and Franklin.
In other words shut up and win games.

I see it as more of a reflection of his overall goal and mindset, rather than something highly specific like “My first season will surpass those of BOB and Franklin.”

And honestly, I like the swagger. I’m on board.

Aren’t you tolerant 🤭

Lest I remind you that MC hasn’t even coached a single game at PSU. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Is there something about Campbell that you don’t like? He’s originally from Ohio? He coached in the state of Iowa? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Actually like the guy. But there was nothing wrong with our history under BOB or wait for it… gasp Franklin.
And if you think I’m tolerant your gonna love the first major mistake he makes in the game thread.
