Penn State Coaching search guesses.

Not sure about Schiano. He really took Rutgers to a new level, but has been unable to sustain that success ina Big East that was weaker than ever last year. I think the shine has worn off him some.
Actually I think they will go with someone of high character. Someone with good relations to young men. Like mangino or leach.
Absolutely not, you get rid of the program for two years, it's going to take a decade to get it back. You're also shorting your athletic dept out of about $60M so it's going to affect every other sport too.
You clean house, bring in a completely new staff and you'll be shocked at how fast this will blow over. This is going to kill their recruiting for this year and probably next year, but Penn St is a top ten job in the coach. Even if no big name coach wants it now, there will be lots of coaches who do. These types of jobs don't come open very often, regardless of the circumstances. Some coach is going to see this as his chance to get an elite job, if he can survive the next two years, Penn St can be back to normal by year three.
DMac might actually be a good choice, although the issues with his ex-wife that came up after he was hired at ISU might hurt him in this situation.
Here's "a list"
Head coaching candidates to replace Joe Paterno at Penn State - College Football - ESPN
If Ferentz did make the short list — I'm not sure that'd be a career move to even consider.
I don't care much one way or another about Ferentz's career -- but if I were current coach at Iowa, I'd stay put unless I was getting the chance at a premiere program with a major $ boost that also didn't include a major leap in expectations (and/or program wasn't mired in recent controversy).
Of course, that job probably doesn't exist.

I think they'll do what tOSU did and basically wait a year to make a real charge at a big name. No way anyone takes the PSU job over the tOSU job this year.
I agree. I think PSU is going to be humbled by this whole series of events and will have a lot more patience with the new coach than they would have otherwise had with Paterno's successor.
...won't be Ferentz. I could careless if he goes to the pros, or another major college program. He will never make more money if he leaves Iowa.
