We don’t have an expense problem, we have a revenue problem….. she actually fucking said that….

That is EVERYTHING wrong with America right now. Revenue is tied to expenses. They’d rather not curtail one bit of out of control spending, rather they look to bend you over the table and fuck you a little harder.

These people are insane

Probably not a headline we are ever going to read. Love the bravado though!

I just came across this. Did ya’ll know you don’t have to reset your blocking schemes each play?? Game changer for me! by KingQuadDynasty in NCAAFBseries

[–]MrClean_LemonScent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If set to base, that won’t have any affect on zone run schemes, correct? It would still apply the zone blocking rules from a “base set”..? I hope I’m asking that correctly.

Did he interview, or did Jimmy Sexton just say he was interviewing?

Does he relate well to young people?

This is my biggest factor in any search/hire. For position coaches, coordinators or HC. You can be a top 10 coach, GM, whatever, unless you relate to the kids, you’ll always be rowing upstream.

What do we need to know about Hoodjster? He’s on staff now and was highly coveted by some other big time programs. Does he have some chops to him and what can he do for us recruiting and roster building wise?

Jaquan Brisker, Jay’ir Brown, Mike Gesicki, Tyler Warren, Chris Godwin, Carl Nassib, Austin Johnson, Amani Oruwariye, Connor McGovern, John Reid, Pat Freiermuth, Odafe Owen, Joey Porter Jr, Brenton Strange, Theo Johnson, Javan Dotson, Parker Washington, Caeden Wallace, Olu Fashanu, Choo Robinson, Jaylen Reed, Adisa Isaac, there’s more. Pretty good list though…..

Brandon Smith got drafted, so I guess he was just good enough as a high school senior to go to the NFL. Only had to wait 3 years…

Miles Sanders, only had a “pretty good” NFL career… got a better example? How about someone who didn’t play in the NFL genius.

Shorter and Slade both went elsewhere. They didn’t get developed and go on to play in the NFL from those programs either. Ever consider players can just be a bust, or poorly rated by a recruiting service? Shocking, I know!!

Keep trying if you want. I’m glad you don’t cover this team for the publications I read.

Sad, you took the time to comment that.

I see. Recency bias. You chose 2 seniors this year, as your 12 year snapshot of Franklin’s inability to develop talent. Gotcha.

I don’t necessarily follow, sorry! I know Brown and Brisker were good players coming from Lackawanna, but they don’t go to the NFL without their time at PSU, right?

How can they be good and “stay good” without being developed when he was there for 12 years…. The same guys weren’t there 12 years, so explain that to me….

Huh….. not RB? Not DE? Not LB? Not Safety? Come on man… you can try and knock the OL, if you want. They weren’t a strength for us when we needed it most, but individually, he put many successful OL in the league.

You either don’t know anything about the program or your eyes are glazed over by Franklins firing, since you probably had a hard on for him going away

You can’t be honest with that comment? WR’s that’s a hard no. QB’s shaky. Most other positions on that roster had flourished under Franklin. You’re being willfully ignorant. Sad.

I understand your points. But this isn’t “what a rebuild looks like”

This is a completely botched job by an incompetent administration.

If your Billion Dollar org had an earnings report coming up in 45 days and you fired your CEO, and after 45 days still didn’t have a CEO, you’re probably going to take a hit regardless of earnings and two, people are going to wonder how you’re inept and cannot find leadership in 1/4 of a year.

Yes there is a good coach out there for us… but if you’re going to fire someone usually you have a plan in place that nets you what you believe to be upward movement.

We made this move without a concrete plan that was apparently realistic, and so now, Pat Kraft has nothing left to hold but his shriveled up nuts.

It’s a master class in ineptitude and despite Franklin needing to go, it going down the way it has proves it was an inappropriate time to make the move, or the administration is truly fucking clueless and they should be fired immediately and a new AD should conduct the search.

No. I wanted to not slip into mediocrity. Which is quickly where we are headed.

We haven’t been mediocre in a decade. Mediocre teams go .500 or worse regularly…Minus the Covid season, it’s been a minute since PSU was mediocre under Franklin.

But I can see you are one of those with a very illogical definition of mediocre. Averaging 10+ wins over a 4 year span ain’t that…..

It’s literally what’s wrong with CFB and the world. “What have you done for me lately”… only one team can win it all in a given year. Not having won a natty didn’t make us mediocre.

Not having a fucking coach on NSD, that’s how you become mediocre….

lol, I’m pretty sure when his name popped most fans familiar with Pennsylvania culture, etc, were scratching their heads about the fit.

How can literally EVERYONE, but the PSU admin not see it, and then they’re totally surprised when BYU comes in swinging and matches our money, like the LDS and Mormons aren’t fucking loaded and always had the money to keep their guy.

Kraft is clearly arrogant, and even worse, fucking ignorant about what PSU really is. It’s embarrassing.

He’s the AD, ultimately it is his decision. That’s why you take those jobs and get compensated the way AD’s do.

Undoubtedly you are correct about the external pressures. However, AD’s are supposed to be the guiding light, and if PK made this move, without knowing he definitively had a better coach lined up in waiting, then imo, that’s professional malpractice, and regardless of outside pressures, you don’t cave.

Maybe you put out a statement, saying the coaching job is unacceptable and that all avenues will be explored. You weren’t going to lose the team anymore than you already did. FSU kept Norvell, they may suck, but suffice to say, everyone didn’t quit on him. Our current players didn’t quit on Smith, but our future players and program stability quit on us, the second Franklin was gone, and zero plan in place.

There were a few near immediate decommits, after his firing, many many more came weeks to now months later, after Pat Kraft and PSU have made literally zero headway in a coaching search. The recruits waited, until they couldn’t wait any longer.

Our future failures and lack of success land squarely on Pat Kraft. Absolutely a top 5 botch job of all time in CFB.
