Defense played well today and he always has the secondary prepared. Impressive resume with NFL experience and a ring. Has done well everywhere he has been. IMHO he should get serious consideration for DC. Thoughts?
Poindexter as DC?
- Thread starter Bwifan
- Start date
Agree and good recruiter
Agree also. No need to go outside the program here to find someone competent. AP would be more than fine. He’s earned the chance. It may help with defensive roster retention also.
The defense was spot on today and many of the youngsters looked really good.
Secondary played extremely well against a 1st round draft pick QB.

Not a chance. If Campbell wanted Poindexter as a DC he would have made the decision already.
This is nothing against Poindexter, he is in the same category as Terry Smith. Highly respected, but not the guy.
Cade Klubnick will be an UFA. From where did you get this 1st round draft pick stuff?
Was wondering even before the game if Poindexter was hoping to make his play for DC since Heacock (sp) is out. Is that why nothing has been announced for his future? Find it hard to believe he couldn't have gotten some offers by now as a position coach. If not DC with Campbell maybe somewhere else is his goal.
Being a Jets fan, he could be a first round QB.Cade Klubnick will be an UFA. From where did you get this 1st round draft pick stuff?
The Browns only drafted 2 QBs last year. They might be in the mix too.Being a Jets fan, he could be a first round QB.
any evidence that Poindexter even wants the DC job? After Diaz left, wasn’t he offered the position and turned it down, so they hired Tom Allen? He may just want to be a position coach
Defense played very well especially the DBs, was impressed with with Dixon, Taoure, Collins, all playing very physical against the Clemson WRs. Was surprised at how much DDS played and how well he played. He played a lot of snaps and seemed to play urgency when he was on the field. Was impressed with Wiley at LB and the young DEs especially 99 and 44.
AP should have been the DC when they hired Tom Allen....and especially when they paid $3,000,000 for JK!
I don't recall him turning the position down but I also don't remember what I had for dinner a week ago. He was though the DC at UCONN. Maybe he is happy being a position coach, but again I find it hard to believe that he wouldn't have landed position coach offer by now. That's why I think he maybe looking to step up to DC, either here or elsewhere.
Understandable that you forgot about it because it never happened. Ridiculous to think he was offered the DC position and “turned it down”.I forgot about that!
He also may want to be somewhere other than State College. Reports are his house is listed for sale and he is cleaning out his office space. Stay tuned I guess.
Can you cite these reports please?
EDIT: Looks like his house was listed 13DEC (5 days after HCMC was hired)

My recollection is that his end goal was HC at Virginia. Not sure if that has changed with Virginia's current success, Hilarious to see an ACC team take belt to *** to and SEC team.
Yep, it appears that Lynn is possibly or even likely the guy based on his answer there and the fact that there is literally no chatter in any of the PSU circles regarding any other potential candidate. There is supposedly some sort of contractual snag that won’t allow Lynn to be announced just yet. It possibly is a requirement to not leave before the bowl game, or it may be that the contractual buyout drops either after the bowl game or on Jan 1. USC is a private school so we’re not entitled to see their contracts like we are for a public university.
Judging from that I think we should expect an announcement Wednesday.
