Silly Season '13 (Coaching Changes)

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

I think Mike Munchak is interviewing at PSU today. Report: Ex-Titans coach Munchak to interview with Penn State - CBSSports.com

That's true. Word yesterday was that Franklin was also interviewing.

IMO this would be a bad hire.

IMO this would be a bad hire.

Me too, that's why I'm all for it.

Me too, that's why I'm all for it.

Certainly wouldn't excite the fan base.

Golden just announced he is staying at Miami

Thanks for the update. Penn State has their own pot of gold, a 6.8 million dollar buyout of Bill O'Brien's contract by the Texans. I'm glad he's staying. It will give stability to the Miami program. Maybe it isn't always about the money in college coaching. He and his staff will bring in a top ten class.

Thank you. I just pray they don't get Franklin now.

I think they end up promoting Johnson.

 

[IrishLax]

Please hire Munchak. That will be even worse than Al Golden.

 

[woolybug25]

I would be happy if they hired either.

They both are bad options for them.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

I think they end up promoting Johnson.

I think that would be a bad idea too. No head coaching or even coordinator experience for him.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

@okerland: Combined record of teams Vandy has defeated during its 16-4 "run": 56-127. Record of teams they lost to: 40-13.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Please hire Munchak. That will be even worse than Al Golden.

I agree 100%

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

Won't happen. Solid assistant, but not a head coach.

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

I think that would be a bad idea too. No head coaching or even coordinator experience for him.

But the cult of Paterno will demand a Paterno coach and the BOT won't have the guts to hire little Paterno yet. Johnson is such a Paterno State homer that when they do hire Jay he'll step down.
You know as well as I do these people want a "Paterno Man" with a little bit of Jonestown fanaticism thrown in.

They're nuts.

Didn't see it posted yet, but ESPN is saying the Lions job is Whisenhunts to lose on espn.com.

That could end up being a really good fit. There is a shit ton of talent on that Lions team and certainly WAY more talented than any team he had in Arizona.

But, what about Brian Kelly?

 

[RyCo1983]

Dungy said if he were to come back, they would be the team he'd sign with.
I agree...by far the best NFL HC opening this offseason.

 

[Pa Golden Tate Fan]

Paterno people and big time alumni would hate the hire of Munchak. He will be fired within 5 years. There will be a new A.D., President and Governor by then. Completely dysfunctional administration starting at the Governors office.

Hiring Jay Paterno, now or ever, would be the worst thing they could possibly do.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Detroit is the sexiest vacancy, but:

Here's the thing about the Lions......they're the Lions.

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

Hiring Jay Paterno, now or ever, would be the worst thing they could possibly do.

I hear fans and alumni here in Central PA calling for him to be hired.
They don't just want a top tier coach, they also want a coach who's gonna spend the rest of his career in State College.

He would be my perfect hire.

 

[RyCo1983]

Mine too buddy...I could heckle my PSU friends all year for the rest of his career over it.

They're going to have to settle for 0/2

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

But Penn State is a destination job. On the same level as Bama or Notre Dame.
No more listening to ESPN 1450 for me. I may start to believe that crap.

 

[RyCo1983]

Sad thing is...delusional PSU fans actually believe that.

I know. Last year those same idiots were telling me OBrien would never leave.
Now it's he sucks and they'll get someone better.

I just keep telling them, welcome to the 21st century.

Franklin is the best they can hope for.
