It's in a good recruiting state with inroads into Jersey and Maryland. The right guy could make it work maaybe a Pa guy


Odd that Knowles isn't the interim.

They are paying him like a HC, he's a Philly guy, and PSU was a dream job for him, at least to some extent.

He's 61, so not dead yet. Definitely worth knocking on the door.

Las Vegas now has Iowa listed as a 2.5 pt favorite. This is down from PSU being favored by 10.5 points at an earlier time

Oregon State fired their coach.  Funny, no one's talking about it, lol.

I need to figure out a way to have a buyout as a state employee, lol.

The 12 years thing reminded me of Spurrier.  Sure, he left to see if his offense could work in the NFL, but what he verbally cites when discussing it is how high the fan expectations got.  In 2001 (his 12th year), Florida went 10-2, but didn't win the SEC.  We blew out Maryland in the Orange Bowl and his QB was the Heisman runner-up (should have won, but whatever).  But Gator Nation was all complaints.

Leaving after going 10-2 and basically being the 2nd-best team in the country because the fans wanted more (preseason #1) vs getting fired for losing yet another big game and 2 where you were the huge favorite. 
Hmmph.

speaking of Spurrier- feel like he'd be a perfect coach today in the 12 team playoff. he'd have won more than 1 NC if that was around back in his day.

don't blame Spurrier for giving the NFL a shot. it's the pinnacle of coaching. they all want to give it a shot at one point or another. few of them are actually cut out for it though- it's just a way different skill set and way different game than college.

I actually do blame Belichik for trying UNC. dude is 100 years old and the winningest NFL coach of all-time. he's washed up, past his expiration date and it's quite frankly beneath someone of his stature to go coach in the college ranks.
