Nothing posted here recently, other than Lavar Arrington tweeting about wanting to coach at Penn State.

Would love to see Chip West be names for that last spot to coach the DB's! Open up that Hampton Roads Pipeline

On a more serious note, I don't think anyone will be hired until after national signing day. Coaches be a little busy.

I would like us to get Narduzzi to be our DB coach........

It'll be Kermit Buggs

I still want Zordich. While Lavar is questionable bc of lack of experience his recruiting ability and energy would be a game changer.

What if Franklin gave the entire defensive backfield to Terry Smith and hired a special teams coach?

That is an interesting idea... how much time does Penn State spend on special teams vs O and D? I think there is a big payoff for having elite special teams. I don't know whether it makes sense to have a full time special teams coach, however. Maybe they could have secondary duties for a position and be the special teams coordinator, but a coach focusing on special teams full time seems an inappropriate use of a valuable resource.

I hope the hire is done next week and they hire someone who will be next in line for DC position. They gave Chaos responsibility for coordinating the running D. They need someone who can coordinate the passing D.
