Thanks. It seemed early on Franklin might be trying to develope a pipeline there. As I recall the coaching staffs worked together for a time. I guess if that was the plan it fell through.
I suspect we're underestimating the chance that Franklin will choose Bowen as OC and then hire a QB coach.
No my thought was work with the coaches at Fordham develop relationships, let Breiner learn and develop at Fordham and then when an opportunity like this came up, "move him up."
I know it is a ridiculous thought or observation. NFM
Not ridiculous, but the value was Joe Moorhead and not necessarily his scheme. His scheme is/was very good but Joe made it work. Joe protégés have done ok, but none have shown enough to get a big job like OC at PSU in my opinion.
One more thing about Streeter. Not only is he a Gettysburg guy, but his dad is/was the Head Coach at Gettysburg College. Sounds like the whole family has PA football roots.
I would not hire a candidate just because they have PA ties. Just saying that he may have some PA Football in his heart and may have a soft spot for this job.

You are 1000% right and Franklin knows it. He is smart and knew offense was holding us back. His loyalty would have wasted a lot of opportunities though with Rahne to make the playoffs. He would have made a move eventually but how many shots would it have cost us? He was visually frustrated this year multiple times on the sideline with play calls and amount of time it took to get calls into the field. The Minnesota game he screamed into his headset on multiple occasions.
He knows this is a golden opportunity to take that step to elite with his offense and he didn’t have to remove a friend in the process. This was a winning lottery ticket that fell in his lap and this move will define his career at Penn State. No matter who he hires I will withhold judgement until I see results. We are built to win now and it isn’t the time to break in someone without experience.
Brady might very well be the second coming of Bill Walsh offensively but his resume is limited. Easy to look good when you have Joe Burrow as your QB. He may well be the real deal but I don’t think it is carved in stone based on one year.
Was assumed at one time to be a Clemson lifer?
Ooops, my bad on a number of counts. First, I was thinking of Tony Elliott, though their histories are similar. Had my brain been functioning properly, I would have checked on Scott and found that he gt the USF job yesterday. So bad research and bad choice of words in "lifer." Intended it in the historical sense. As a predictor, "lifer" is meant to convey a sense of inertia, the bonds of which are broken when someone else offers a head coaching job and/or a shitload more money.
I am sufficiently chastened. Enjoy the opportunity while you can. It ends in 10, 9, 8,.........
Maybe, but I haven't seen anything definitive yet. He wouldn't be the first coach to stay for a bowl game. I'm assuming OD's season is over now, so it certainly isn't out of the realm of possibility.
Right now I couldn't say if Burrow made Brady or if Brady made Burrow. Would you bet $1.5 million on a coin flip?
That's why Franklin gets the big bucks. On the one hand, there are resumes that are short on experience, but what's there is brilliant. On the other, there are CVs that are long on experience with probably more than a few ups and downs (there aren't many coordinators with long, unbroken strings of success). Pick one.
his Dad , Barry, retired 2 yrs ago, and was HC from about 1978 on, with 1 yr 'off' while fighting cancer, iirc.
Yes.... it is
Can one even imagine his "task list" - all to be addressed in just the next couple weeks?
I could absolutely see him pulling double duty or at least calling the plays in the Cotton Bowl for his long-time friend.
His resume was even more limited back in August. Not sure how that limited resume hindered him once the season started.
But I do agree with the question of "did Burrow make Brady or did Brady make Burrow". Kind of like the whole Brady/Belichick question with the Patriots.
I personally think Joe Burrow is pretty special. Even if Brady is the second-coming of Bill Walsh, it's almost impossible to teach his pocket awareness and his ability to move inside a pocket while keeping eyes downfield. Those things are usually inbred, and a guy either has those abilities or he does not.

Think about that for just 30 seconds - - - - what that would actually entail, and the logistics and interplays of those situations.
Check your prescription. Seriously.
What? Someone has a differing opinion and you throw out insults. You can be better than that.
Aaahhhh, yes..."home town boy", which seems to be important to some people.
I agree. But I don't think getting into a bidding war with LSU and/or Texas for a guy who is a coin flip is very intelligent. If CJF identifies his guy, he should be free to go get him. I would hope he has the money available to do that.
He is a QB coach and passing game coordinator. He has never called a game in his life. He lucked out by having the Heisman winner. He would do best to stay at LSU and continue his ascension there.
So......even with a new OC, we can safely assume Shorter is not coming back....(?)
I will duck to avoid the incoming shrapnel....

I don’t know enough about him to agree or disagree, but he is a white hot commodity. The LSU people met him when he was breaking down film for the Saints, and he took the opportunity to share his ideas and thoughts with them, and they were literally knocked off their feet.
It's not like it's that hard to randomly choose between 4 plays:
1) QB Keeper
2) RB up the middle
3) Quick slant to Freiermuth
4) Fade to Hamler
If they’re going to go after Brady, it’s going to be anywhere from 18 days to a month from now before anything is heard. The longer it drags out the more likely it’s going to be a higher profile hire.
He's tanned, rested and ready!Aaahhhh, yes..."home town boy", which seems to be important to some people.
