Honest question for the board - if you really did hear a solid rumor, pretty certain to be accurate, would you come on this board and state it?

If you want to be ridiculed, yes. Also, I'd want to make sure I didn't burn my source ... because someone - hell, everyone - is going to demand to know who your source is.

Less than two months and we should all know who the new coach will be. The rumors will be bigger than a prairie fire in July in the coming weeks, should be interesting.

He was n the NFL too long for my tastes. Itā€™s such a different game,. NFL guys tend to think they are superior when itā€™s just a different game. Also. The B1G is waaay tougher now than it was in his short stint at PSU. I think Trev should hire a defensive minded HC.

Some really informed guys donā€™t post here anymore for the crap they took posting things that turned out to be factual

Honestly, at this point I donā€™t think I even care that much who takes the job, because there arenā€™t any ā€œwowā€ hires out there.
My only hope is that whomever it is, hires an elite DC and an elite offensive line coach.

I too think getting a good recruiter of vicious Linemen have to be priority #1 who is also a great linemen coaching ability. Heh, I suppose it's mission impossible but I can only hope & pray.

My favorite is when the knuckle draggers hold their hands over their ears while screaming ā€œdo you have a link for thatā€. Hahaha. Makes me giggle every time

Generally speaking, I care more about a higher floor than a higher ceiling with this HC hire. I think BOB provides a higher floor than many of the names mentioned, so that part is good.

But Iā€™m not going to get excited or argue for any particular candidate. Wake me up when the announcement is made so that I can start rationalizing the decision.

Yep, wake me up too! I'm kinda fizzled out after the Pelini, Riley, Frost years! Ringing true to me, the Saban quote from 1969, "They're killing me Whitey, they're killing me" Haha! With BOB, I think he would know the key is building both lines better! I don't have a lot of yrs left, so lets get it done!

When we had dominate a nasty OL/DL our coaches looked for these traits first not body types to fit the position. I realize we ran a different type offense back when we were known for our lines but those lines could pass protect when the had to.

Somewhere along the line we got coaches who thought we needed OT's that stood 6' 6" or 6' 7" and weighed 320 pounds and our guards needed to be 6' 4" or 6' 5" and weigh 325 pounds. I wouldn't mind seeing our tackles stand 6' 4" or 6' 5" and our guards stand 6' 2" or 6' 3" as long as they could move and had that nasty streak.

Just give me lines that can move the point of attack and impose their will on their opponent, I don't care about body types I just want kids who are nasty and who can move.

BOB is an NFL guy. He was in the NFL before Penn St. Left after two years for the first NFL gig offered. He would always be a candidate every year for the NFL jobs that open up. We donā€™t need that kind of uncertainty.

I had kind of always thought that too, but after reading the article and looking into him more, now I'm not so sure.

He has spent more time in college than in the NFL:
College 93-06 (13 years)
NFL 07-11 (5 years)
College 12-13 (2 years)
NFL 14-20 (7 years)
College 21-22 (2 years)

Total:
College 17 years
NFL 12 years

The article also made it seem like he intended to stay at PSU, but the internal dysfunction and lack of support made him decide to bail in the 11th hour. In addition, it stated that he turned down NFL offers to stay at Bama this year. So who knows where he really wants to be.

I could see him being a candidate for the New England job after Belichick retires.

I think that if a coach wins enough here to be a candidate for NFL jobs, that is a good thing. What would he need to do here to be a legit candidate in the NFL? Multiple 11-12 win seasons and NY6 Bowls?

if BOB stays involved with the offense -- could easily see MJ being promoted to OC with it being the next step in taking over a program

That's actually an interesting idea. I have had the opinion that we should get a coach to help turn us around whether that be Matt Rhule, LL, or BOB. With the idea that max they would be here 5-7 years. In that time he can teach MJ the ropes and give him some experience.

Because if a new coach is hired it is up to him to bring in (or keep) who he thinks is the best.

If the new guy thinks MJ is the best...great! If not...great!
