…but, but where did you see that?

MC would make sense. Not sure about Diaz.

Penn St blew by not going after Chesney, they may be best served leaving Terry Smith in place to see how it goes.

Credit where it’s due, this is good.

In more normal news, North Texas is hiring Neal Brown.

We’re running a very real risk of Penn State being the last job left open at this point.

Good update.

I can’t speak for others, but…

IMO, who cares?

Where’s the risk to the Coogs?

Agree… not seeing any risk here. Who cares about PSU?

That program should not even be able to be playing any sports

I never saw his named mentioned as a candidate for any job.

His overall record: 72-51
Troy: 35-16
WVU: 37-35

From the Athletic article.
Fired NY Giants HC Brian Daboll involved.
Only guy mentioned not hired or extended elsewhere.
(not a joke)

“Cal is zeroing in its interest on Tosh Lupoi, a former Golden Bears standout defensive lineman and academic all-conference selection during his playing career in the early 2000s.”

UNT may have been using the “he won’t leave us” feels that we know too well.

I personally have two metrics for a good coach. 1. Haven’t given up 70 pts. 2. Haven’t lost to Dana Holgersen

Lupoi was the hottest assistant coach in the country 10 years ago

Last year I wasn’t sure about CWF and earlier this year I posted I would wait until after the season to decide. He decided for me, he’s a keeper.

Since PSU has circled back to Campbell, he’s likely the odds on favorite to be fired. There’s not much left that could keep them from being laughed at.

Fritz to Penn State?

That kid is the 1 rice burner account who openly admitted to being the only rice t-shirt fan because he saw an opportunity lol.

I just don’t know why anyone would take the PSU job at this point. They were senior-heavy this year, they have almost no recruiting class coming in, and what remains of their roster is about to get torn asunder in the transfer portal. They’re credibly on the verge of their worst season since 1888. Firing Franklin has somehow gone worse for them than the JoePa scandal, and it is very literally getting worse by the day.

If you’re a head coach, how are you even getting decent assistants to walk into that?

They should not be playing any sports for another 20 years.
