New OC Candidates

If CJF had the guts to go this route Bobby would ride in on his Harley and make the scoreboard light up like a pinball machine. Would be awesome.
Only the last year really. He lost the locker room. CJF is the one who builds the culture so Bobby can just focus on figuring how to light up the OSU defense.
I dont hate the idea, but I sure hate that man. I think we can find someone nearly as talented without being morally bankrupt.
Rick Neuhisle, he likes the Tavern
This is his day.
Just looked him up and he is only 58 years old. What was he like 34 when he coached Colorado?
In that case, Franklin and Fleck are good friends, Ciarrocca would meet that seal of approval.
I would be shocked if any of the other full time go with him. Now GAs etc I would expect that
Good teams, lots of energy. At Washington too. I think they had some trouble though, just don’t recall details.
He got out of Colorado a few years before things went south. I think Barnett felt like Neuheisel created some of the mess that was there, but he was probably just pointing fingers at anyone given the way he was being tossed under the bus.
I don't recall whether anything was bad at Washington.
I know you say it jokingly and I’m not seriously suggesting it but I’d bet he could be had as a consultant pretty easily. He has no desire to work much but wants to coach some - look at the Orlando AAF team. Yes, I know he can’t coach as a consultant but he’d still be around the game and only have to work half the time.
The week after he resigned at South Carolina he was at Beaver Stadium for the Penn State game - still unsure of how that happened.
I don't believe he would run the style of offense Franklin wants...
I don't believe he would do anything that anyone wants, other than himself. And he would give zero ****s if you don't like that.
Let’s keep the Brown pipeline going with James Perry the HC of Brown.
He is a former Brown QB and has his dream job it appears, but would be a huge raise for him.

it’s funny how a qb can make a coach look like a genius. How do you think Ryan Day would be viewed if he was starting Tate Martell this season.
Probably not the rosy cheeked super mannequin coach the media makes him out to be with Fields.
It's true. Although we poke fun at Jay - how would we remember him if Morelli had turned out to be another Dan Marino?
I've been thinking the same thing. Not sure of his career trajectory at this point though... I only care that Franklin brings in someone with experience. They absolutely have to get better at adjusting on the fly (not waiting until half-time). That goes with both the offense and defense...
I’ll throw a name out there. Doug Nussmeier, TE coach for the Dallas Cowboys. Tons of experience as an OC and QB coach, both pro and college. PSU currently recruiting his son Garrett as a QB.
Another name, Jake Moreland, OC from Western Michigan. Only knock is he’s only ever been at WMU. But his offense is ranked 2nd in the Mac and tight ends are very productive in his offense. Has a lot of experience as an OL coach and TE coach. Watch a YouTube video of him being interviewed. Seems very impressive

He is making 3.5 million a year and is not being fired. He is rumored to be getting an extension as well. He will be saying goodbye to at least 5 mil if he goes back to PSU voluntarily.
He'll get fired after next season. Guaranteed.
All their fans remember is that Mullen had them ranked #1 for five minutes.

Mike Leach? Great thinking!
Hey Mike, why don’t you come to be OC at Penn State?
Mike? Uh, Mike...

That is still 3.5 million x2 at least based on his contract. The man had made good money in the past but never anything approaching several million a year. You can’t walk away from possible generation wealth for your family. The guy may come back to PSU eventually but not until be actually gets fired.
Knowing Franklin's decision making, it will be a promotion from within. Bowen or Seider.
2020 has always been “the year.” Can’t mess around here. Needs to be a HR from the jump.

Is there any word on whether or not Rhane will stay to coach in the bowl game? I haven't seen anything on a timetable for the move to OD.
