It's going to be Terry Smith, cause they seem to be running out of options.

Crazy.

can't believe they've not lost more recruits

eta: oh wow, they;ve only got like 5

Brian Daboll

I keep thinking they will end up with Manny Diaz. But now he is busy preparing for an ACC championship game.

Now I have to delete my other post.
They can't even steal BYU's coach….

Weren't they in the semi-final last year?

Wayyy more going on behind the scenes (and bars) than any of you realize. Sitake is a smoke screen, not to be confused with a smokeshow (which he also is).

Still think this one is headed towards an NFL guy

They should have hired the James Madison coach...worked for Indiana.

Or Matt Campbell on line 1?

Huh???
This post is really….confusing and confounding…..

Not really sure how I could make it more clear. Let me phrase it as a haiku to see if that helps:

Too much goes unseen,
Sitake's just a smokescreen,
NFL guy soon.

Penn St sent a terrible message when they fired Franklin. Winning 10, 11 or even 12 games a year isn't good enough. Only a NC will secure your job. That's ridiculous. Consistently winning will position you to compete yearly for a NC. NOONE can guarantee you one.

Franklin had one bad year and that was 2020. Six 10 win seasons and 10 years where Franklin won 7 or more games. I would trade Fran and Sherman for those years that Franklin had.

Penn St is going to learn the meaning of irrelevant.

Just trying to get my head around you calling Sitake a smoke show…..

And they just tell people to give it. Amazing business they run.

They lost to Northwestern. A nerd school with an atrocious football history. Some "Scarlet Letters" can't be overlooked.

There's no denying they had a bad year. But Franklin did go 13-3, 11-2 and 10-3 the 3 previous years. Many schools would build a coach like that a statue. There's nothing wrong with expectations. Until they reach the point of being ridiculous. And the small group of coaches who people see as capable of possibly winning a NC aren't interested in ridiculous expectations. They can make the same money with the same support where they are and very likely have job security by winning double digit games and making the playoffs regularly.

Guess Sherman should have been lynched for losing to Arkansas St.

DeBoer

penn st has no clue what they are doing how has matt campbell not been engaged? at no point have i heard his name come up. dude is a great coach and wins consistently at iowa st. clearly being an AD doesn't take much common sense because this is a no brainer.

Crumbl Cookie CEO shut Pedo State down

Penn St being out recruited by Harvard was not on my 2025 bingo card.

Edit: UMass is out recruiting Penn St.
