Alabama lost Smart and now Pruitt in what 3 years. Last year Lane Train OC............the beat goes on. Ironic that so many claim that no one wanted JVPs staff...........now we wring our hands cus our guys are coveted. Make up my mind!
He's welcome back anytime he wants. I just don't want him as a coach any longer.
Don't worry, I don't think Tom Bradley wants anything to do with PSU either.
Like Tom Bradley as a person , but his bend but don't break defense cost us many times
NO thanks. If you want the soft zone with everything kept in front of you, then go for it. I prefer the attack scheme and go to the ball philosophy that
we see now.
I think he was referring to Spencer, not Bradley. I would hope Spencer would be considered as well.
I unearthed one of our time capsules:
Defensive coordinator John Butler signals to his defensive unit in Penn State's 63 to 14 loss to Ohio State on Saturday, Oct 26, 2013.
Penn State’s head coach spoke sternly for 45 seconds while defending his right-hand man, John Butler.
And even after briefly coming up for air, Bill O’Brien wasn’t done.
“That’s a bunch of crap that he’s taking heat,” O’Brien said, interrupting the next question being asked to conclude his thoughts on the defensive coordinator
Needless to say, it didn’t sit well with O’Brien that Butler was catching flak from some following the Nittany Lions’ 63-14 loss to Ohio State Saturday. The typically reserved second-year head coach was adamant in his support of Butler, who has led a defensive unit off to a forgettable start to the Big Ten season.
Despite the 63 points the defense allowed to the Buckeyes on Saturday, O’Brien called Butler a “hell of a football coach.”
“I don’t care what the scoreboard says or what the yardage says. This guy is our defensive coordinator. He’s my defensive coordinator,” O’Brien said. “…If anybody should take heat, it’s Bill O’Brien, not John Butler. So I don’t know where that’s coming from, but hopefully that’ll get squelched.”
Agree. BTW, his brother (Steelers team doctor) just did the surgery on Carson Wentz's knee. Either he's a great surgeon or the Eagles doctor stinks.
As did our bend and break defense in the second half of the Ohio State game.
Agree. BTW, his brother (Steelers team doctor) just did the surgery on Carson Wentz's knee. Either he's a great surgeon or the Eagles doctor stinks.
Or, (and this is definitely the truth), the agent pulls all the strings for these guys these days. Most likely Wentz' agent also reps some of the Steelers, so the agent knows Bradley from there.
I know that you guys find this hard to believe, but how these things are done is not nearly as scientific as you'd like to think. The agents just love to be the guys in charge.
[Edit: Wentz and Ben have the same agent.....]

not getting the vast majority of verbals to sign next week will be a very bad sign. that means that those player have opened their recruiting. they are not waiting for anything. if a good offer comes, they will take it unless PSU has established the coordinator position.
we are still trying to climb back and losing both coordinators in the same year is NOT a good thing.
anyhow - proof is the # of signees next week. the answer will come in a few days. I hope i am wrong.
If I were a second year player in the NFL looking at signing possibly the biggest contract in history in the near future, I think I'd demand the best surgeon on this planet available. But hey, it's just a career so I'll let my agent pick for me.
So that is your prediction? The "vast majority" of verbals will not sign next week?
Wouldn't be the first time he was offered a head coaching position. He turned down an offer from Georgia Southern 2 years ago.
Honestly that dude is a bore and another one that puts on a dumb act but ends it with the I hope I'm wrong routine. No kidding.

i read Carson s agent picked the surgeonAgree. BTW, his brother (Steelers team doctor) just did the surgery on Carson Wentz's knee. Either he's a great surgeon or the Eagles doctor stinks.
Dr. James Bradley is considered one of the very best orthopedic surgeons in the US.Agree. BTW, his brother (Steelers team doctor) just did the surgery on Carson Wentz's knee. Either he's a great surgeon or the Eagles doctor stinks.
This is what I'm afraid of. Three of our top targets left are two 4-star and a 5-star and they are on the DLine. Losing the DC this close to signing day could spell disaster. I hope not, but I imagine that Pry has been heavily involved in their recruiting.
Spencer more than Pry, much more.

And maybe there’s a certain genius to it. PSU coaches in demand and getting hype. For recruiting it’s less likely the next guy up after the coordinator (spencer) leaves for a great HC position after two years of success, like Moorhead and possibly Pry. Spencer is also a heck of a recruiter—so my theory may be at least semi-garbage.
I have no inside info on this situation, but I’m thinking this is a great opportunity to give the program and a young coach some exposure and recognition. Maybe let’s us and the talking heads possibly appreciate him more while he’s here. Also seems this isn’t the best offer Pry will likely get if he stays and PSU’s defense continues to get better, which seems inevitable.
Ha! Watch it’ll be announced in 20 seconds that he’s gone.
I love Tom Bradley. I want to BE Tom Bradley. But Tom is done as a defensive coordinator. The game has evolved with the emphasis on offense and superior QB play that his style will not work any more. Hey - that philosophy had a great run including two national championships for us. Of course the '57 Bel Air was the ultimate in cars too - for it's time. Not anymore.
Good to know. Next time I blow my back out I'll call my stock broker to ask where I should have surgery. Or maybe the lady at the deli counter that slices my cheese.
I rely on the lady who works st the local bagel shop. She know bagels. cream cheese and neurosurgery.
Does she use tongs for picking up the bagels?
What else do you pay an agent for? All the contracts are slotted, so there isn't much negotiation to do. Maybe the agent wents to do the rehab as well, some surgeons insist on their people doing it
