The Penn St Dumpster Fire Thread

[sufandu]

Did a quick search, looks like graduating from Penn State for an in-state student comes out to around $150k.

You can use $40 million to fire James Franklin, or 267ish undergrads could leave Penn State debt free.

I don't follow. How does that contribute to a university's primary objective to support the sport of football?

Prediction: Fran is gonna come out and say “if they call me I’m hanging up I bleed orange now” and then steal all their croots put penn st on our schedule beat them by 50 and win a couple of natties.

I like the cut of your jib.

Yep , and then the Penn St. fanbase , feeling guilty about the past , is going to petition the NCAA to punish the program with the death penalty being well aware they deserved it all along .

Imagine how much Cignetti is about to be guaranteed just to stay where he is.

The what are we doing question should have been asked about 20-25 years ago. It's too big to stop now.

We are all deep into this and most of us are sports fanatics. But it’s good to keep the perspective. 40 million. To coach football? Actually… to NOT COACH.

My mom roots for Syracuse but isn’t a diehard fan (she even worked there for like 35 years). She would be appalled if she heard about this. Can I even argue with her?

Lol sure.

This is remarkable restrained given your alleged lack of morality and the absence of limits "to the damage you and your ilk do." Maybe the OP has misjudged you?

What the...

You're forgetting my noted history of poor decision-making.

lots of d!cks kicked



Edit: most were likely deserved

When you look at the remaining Ped State commits for 2026, I think they almost HAVE to go after Curt Cignetti. It's amazing, at least to me, how many of them have offers from Indiana.

No, that part might have some merit

With all this new info about you coming to light, I feel like you should have to return your Iggy. We have standards around here.

Clark Lea is an interesting option.

Matt Rhule is a winner, he is winning at Nebraska, he is a Penn State guy, he will be the next Penn State coach almost assuredly IMO , not to mention his QB has more eligibility left.

Why would adidas be behind this firing? Penn State sells a metric effff ton of gear to their lunatic cult regardless of who’s coaching.

They don’t like losing to Nike U on the big stage.

You might want to try improving your reading comprehension skills, since I specifically stated that was NOT the case. One OiG is just a morally reprehensible nut on the internet; that’s trivial compared to Sandusky. 50,000 OiGs committed to extrajudicial justice is the Khmer Rouge.

We can get to 50,000 OiGs. We don’t ever get to 50,000 Sandusky’s.

My reading comp is fine. Direct quote "Frankly I’m far more concerned about people like you than Sandusky". Your logic is what is broken here. Seriously hyperbole much? Khymer Rouge? Where do you come up with this crap?

 

[orangefog]

What about this guy?

I assume you’re joking because that’s silly. The only thing these companies care about is do-re-mi.

Nebraska could end up hiring a better HC, plus his father is a Nebraska alumnus. I doubt he leaves.

If Rhule left, Nebraska should hire Matt Campbell or Lance Leipold IMO.

It will be interesting to see if Fran can make inroads given the season he is currently having. I have some concerns that at least from a crowd standpoint for Pitt that there are going to be more than a few empty seats.

I am impressed that he even has them coming in for a visit. No matter what the outcome of the game, he can point to freshman not only starting, but being impact players.

Not a single thing in that post is supportive of paterno, I just disagree with broadly labeling a group of people as supportive of child molestation because they watch their alma mater play football.

Yeah. I mean, millions upon millions of Catholics are still showing up to church on Sundays.

I’m surprised Brian Kelly’s name hasn’t come up, he’s really not very well liked at LSU and if he doesn’t make the playoff I could see him trying to get out. He’s such a horrible fit at LSU.

 

[Acesn8s]

Another name that keeps popping up in Mike Elko, North East guy that would be a home run hire IMO. Heather Dinich said that $$ will be no obstacle, why he would leave A&M not sure but name to keep an eye on.
