Moorhead taking Huff with him now
- Thread starter NittanyOpp
- Start date
Of all of our recruits, Slade would be the one I'm least worried about. He sure as hell isn't going to Starkville to be in the SEC's second division for his entire career.
No, but he may go to Columbus or East Lansing or some place that may make us regret his change of heart.
did he work with CJF at MD?
After brief stints as positions coach at the University of Delaware, Dartmouth, University of San Diego and Williams College, Perry went back to school. He received a master’s degree in education policy and leadership from the University of Maryland in 2006 while working as a graduate assistant for the football team. Perry then returned to Brown, where he served as the program’s recruiting coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
I believe his point was that the Bryant coach is a Brown alum.
I dont think he graduated from Brown. I think he is a Princeton grad. I think he coached at Brown
Disregard. I had that backwards

PSUDominantAgain@PSUFootballBud 1m1 minute agoHe offered 4 coaches jobs to leave with him. Huff, Gattis, Limegrover & Spencer. Huff is only coach leaving to be come Co-OC. Supposedly has told Franklin he won't go after any recruits.
Can you show your source? I see the Eagles switch between RPO and passing from under the center all the time. Is it really that hard to master both?
Because Franklin needs someone to call plays, JoMo is running the offense and calling plays at MSU.
"Ricky is still 100% committed to Penn State," - sounds like a statement of fact.
"However we have to make sure he's comfortable with the new RB coach and vise versa." sounds like a "qualifer" and somewhat of a contradiction to the first statement.
With that observation, I would think the odds are very high that he signs with PSU, but not quite 100% - we will know for sure in three weeks. Actually, less than that because if he doesn't schedule any other visits in the next week or two (and that word would get out soon), he's coming to PSU.

I gotta believe that there is some professional courtesy here between JoMo and JF and that JF provided the blessing for JoMo to offer Huff a significant promotion. I suspect if we were talking about a lateral move, it would be a different story. In any business, but especially a small one like this, you shouldn't and can't get a reputation of trying to hold your employees down. You need to develop them and give them a growth path and hope they stay, but understand that some will leave. Either way, you attract talent with this methodology and shun it with the alternative.

For the Eagles? No. They run a pro style offense. If you run a pro style offense then adding in some RPO plays is no big deal so long as the OC was someone who knows how to run both, and that right there is a big problem, too. You already take snaps out of the shotgun in a pro style offense. You don't actually have to learn how to do that and taking a snap out of a shotgun formation is no big deal anyway. A pro style offense incorporates both under center and shotgun. On top of that, the Eagles are not limited to 20 hours of practice a week.
The RPO only operates out of the shotgun. That is the problem. If we ran a pro style at PSU then incorporating the RPO wouldn't be a big deal. But if we want our QBs to switch to going under center then we need to change the kind of offense we run. The Eagles run a pro style offense with RPO mixed in. We can do that at PSU, but we're going to need to hire an offensive coordinator that is an expert at running a pro style offense and can also run an RPO offense. It will require a totally different playbook and would be a completely different offense. And I think you'll find that there aren't very many OCs that are capable of running both of those offenses. What we would end up with at PSU is an offense heavily reliant on pro style with RPO mixed in. PSU would spend most of the time in a pro style offense.
As long as we are running the RPO there won't be any going under center. It's brought up almost every week. Just look at our victory formation. They won't even go under center for a kneel down. Why is that? Because it's too risky even in that scenario and they aren't even running a play. That should tell you how much the center/QB exchange under center matters and how much time a QB and center need to practice it. Remember, they have 20 hours a week they can practice.

Hate to brake it to you, but the company will go on without you. Most do. While it may take a while for the new guy to come up to snuff, it will all be good in the end. If it was built on one person, the company would have folded a long time ago. The Pollyanna's on here that think losing the OC ad RBs coach on here need to get a grip.
Perry graduated from Brown, and was one of the most prolific QB's in Ivy League history. He was actually at Brown when Rahne was at Cornell so they played against each other.
I believe PSU in contractually obligated to hire former Brown QB's.
Worked as a graduate assistant there in 2005 & 2006 but do not believe he worked with CJF as he left in 2004.
Having the title of co-OC at Miss St. is a great jump up for Huff. But let's not kid anybody, that offense will be controlled 100% by JoMo.
Slade is logical as Huff was the lead on that one. agree more likely to open recruitment than just flip to a lesser school like MSU.
NONE of this would be happening if we had just burned Fries' redshirt last year
I'll be very surprised if Slade decommits. He knows (or should know) that he is entering into a great situation at a great university.
All due respect to MSU, but why the hell would any coach make a lateral move from Penn State to Starkville? And does anyone seriously think the caliber of players committed to PSU would even have MSU on their radar, let alone consider them a viable option?
I’m pretty sure that the new RB coach will be happy to have Slade coming into the stable of running backs.

But unless the update has been further updated, sounds like Slade is solid with PSU. That is, of course, assuming comfort with new RB coach.
Coaches leaving for greener pastures is not unusual in any era, even under Paterno. For example, Dick Anderson left to take the Temple job and Caldwell left for Wake Forest.
I think Ganter stayed as long as he did because he was expecting Joe to retire soon and would get the HC position.
I think even Jay would have left if someone offered him a HC job at a P5 school.

If only McQueary had been offered a better job someplace else.
I don’t think we lose any recruits, they seem sold on Penn State and want to be Nittany Lions.
