But just a few weeks ago I read right here that Campbell could find under recruited talent and coach em up better than anyone. No need for high priced prima donna 5 star talent. 5 star pansies, I believe they were labeled.
Didn't lose to wisconsin.
This whole Franklin didn't lose to Wisconsin is the worst argument made. He lost to much worse teams including UCLA last year.
That is something we can agree with. Comparing BGJ to Campbell is like comparing a terd to a silver dollar. BGJ being the terd.
Campbell was losing g to northern Iowa and mid majors.
I dont think we have a "big game" this year. .
Apparently not much:
Easiest schedule ever and you already know campbell is not making the playoffs
MC also wasn't brought here to win a title in year 1
Why would anyone have us making the playoff this year? It's illogical. No national outlet had us that I can recall.
Only one team on the schedule ranked ahead of psu going into the season. Psu was ranked 14th last week. Just had to beat the Schools for the blind teams behind them. You spent all pre season telling us how soft this schedule was.
No--so why would I count them for MC?
You can't expect a team to make a playoff based on schedule not talent
Only need to be in the top 12 at end of regular season.
So your belief was we had to go 12-0 with this schedule--yupp
Stick your middler in there. You're a fool if you think BGJ was taking Penn State anywhere, except down the toilet. Why was he fired, clown?But you said the teams ahead of us would lose to each other--if we also lose games that doesn't push us ahead of them
Which again is saying they had to win out. Losing to good teams isn't going to drop you far as you know. Beating "teams you should beat" isn't going to cause you to jump. They were never going 12-0 and 11-1. With any coach. Best case was always 10-2.
Are you serious? Penn State got 3 turnovers; the offense scored one TD on an 11 yard drive (courtesy of one of those turnovers); the Most Experienced QB in college football completed 41% of his passes and looked like a true freshman rather than a 5th year senior and the team blew a 17 point lead in a homecoming game. I have seen some bad losses in my 65 years of being a fan (such as a blow out in a Kick Off Classic and sitting in 95 degree heat in the north end zone before there was a second deck to provide shade and losing a season opener to Cincinnati 14-3 before Cincinnati was a decent team) but the loss to Wisky on Saturday was top ten. You are correct that this season and Campbell’s career won’t be judged solely by last Saturday’s loss but this was a BAD one by any and all measures.
Oh we understand that fully but that was a self-inflicted problem caused by Pat “Amateur Hour” Kraft (1) firing Franklin mid-season with no succession plan; (2) doing little or nothing publicly or privately to ensure the verbals after the firing that a good coach would be hired; and (3) not hiring Campbell until after the signing date which not only kissed away virtually an entire recruiting class but hamstrung Campbell in getting portal players. Kraft has done far more harm to the football program than Franklin and it ain’t even close.
Virtually all players sign on the early signing date not February 3rd.
Speak for yourself. Nice to see your asinine ad hominem attacks continue in your usual juvenile fashion.
How about YOU stop with the nonsense. Grunk said publicly he is a loyal person and Campbell had every opportunity to prioritize him over his boy Becht but didn’t. It clearly was a Becht or Grunk decision and Grunk only left AFTER Becht signed because he wisely knew he had 2 chances to start at Penn State regardless of how he looked in practice: fat and none. Campbell signing Becht had EVERYTHING to do with familiarity. Blame Amateur Hour Kraft for Campbell’s lack of time to put a roster together.
Did you watch the game? Losses happen but Penn State got 3 turnovers, had one TD drive of a whopping 11 yards (courtesy of one of those turnovers), the most experienced QB in college completed 41% of his passes and looked like a true freshman making his first start, and blew a 17 point lead on homecoming.
Big Ten Championship in 2016 which was his first season with a full complement of scholarship players. Two playoff wins for starters. How about if YOU list ANY big game Campbell has won coaching a decade in an inferior conference. Better yet I will help you out: NONE as in zero championships and zero playoff appearances.
Sure did but as I mentioned in another post tell us what big game Campbell has ever won coaching a decade in an inferior conference. I’ll wait.
And anointing Campbell as a clearly superior coach before he has ever won a damn thing is asinine.
