Rob was a nice guy but he was a low dollar hire. We’ll see with Pat’s hire if wins are important to Penn State athletics. If they hire yet another discount $ coach nothing will change.

Personally, I believe we need someone with ties to the University and the Comminwealth of PA.

My choice would be Ryan Wheeler, former PSU player under Joe Hindelang and former Head Coach at Temple before they dropped the program and now Assistant Head Coach at St Joe’s.

No. First, Wheeler was the Temple baseball coach when Temple AD Pat Kraft cut the Owls' baseball program. Might be some hard feelings there. Second, while Penn State is not going to attract a head coach from an ACC or SEC program, it can do much better than Ryan Wheeler. Third, why do we need someone with ties to the University and the Commonwealth? Way, way too limiting and the experience you suggest adds no advantage to the job. We need a fresh start with someone who can recruit, I don't care where the recruits come from. Some experience coaching in the Mid-Atlantic or Midwest is probably helpful, but not dispositive.

As usual, you're living too much in the past. (And I have a longer history of PSU sports fandom than you.)

I’m just catching up with some old news that Cooper is out as PSU baseball coach after 10 years. I assume he was fired by Kraft. Is there any word on who is being considered as a possible replacement? The usual “national coaching search” is apparently being conducted.
