Penn State Coaching search guesses.

[Knownothing]

Who will they call first. My guess is in this order.

Bill Cowher- Great coach, Loved in the state. No nonsense guy who is respected.
Kirk Ferentz-They won't get him




50. Paul Rhodes.


Any other names out their?

I will be surprised if Al Golden is not the PSU coach next year

 

[ruxCYtable]

Urban Meyer will be their first call

 

[Cyclonepride]

I hope they don't need a football coach for a few years.

Urban Meyer will be Ohio States first call

I'm not sure how attractive the PSU coaching gig is? Ohio State will also be open and OSU will be a more attractive to the top candidate.

This will not happen.

 

[DRCHIRO]

I think they will look for someone that has no ties to Penn State. No former assistants or players and will try to start over completely so I don't see them going after Al Golden.

Penn St just needs a two or three year stopgap hire now. Wait until this scandal dies down and then they can go for a big name hire.

Some people thought the OSU job was walking into a mess.

The Penn State job is 1000 times messier than the Ohio State job now, with or without NCAA sanctions.

I've been hearing Al Golden and Greg Schiano the most....

This, I dont think any big name coach is going to want to walk into that mess.

Urban Meyer

They will bring in some sacrificial goat no name coach for a couple years, and then fire him when they don't get the number of wins they expect. After that they will be in the market for a big time coach.

This. Couldn't believe Ken Miller thinks it will be Golden. No way in **** PSU gets another connected to Paterno. Also no one will a great resume will touch this job.

I think they get some young guy looking to skip a few rungs, or an old coach looking for his last job with no connection to Paterno.

Maybe a recently fired NFL guy.

The more I think about it, big picture, Penn State is better off suspending the football program for a year or two. With no gap the public perception will linger indefinitely.

It's not even about justice, I think ten years from now, PSU will be better off if they imposed their own 2 year suspension than if they don't miss a game. It's in their own self interest.

The next 5 years aren't going to be pretty no matter what, better for them to spend two years not having a program, then 3-6 years rebuilding with a clean conscience.
