Offensive Coordinator Job Posting

Who's in? I know sluggo72 is. Perhaps we can get Bushie, 21 Guns and even Marsh Creek to announce their candidacy. Granted no one has a chance against Gunnie, but still.

Jokes aside this leads me to think it's going to be an external hire.

Could be. My guess is posting the opening is standard operating procedure.

@PhillipintheValley, would the job have to be posted externally if an existing person at a lower level was going to be moved up a few pay grades? My understanding of PSU-HR rules is that it wouldn't because the move would just be upgrading a current position.

Very well could be. But, at my workplace job openings are first posted internally. If there are no qualified candidates then the position is posted externally. Might just be different everywhere.

Notice that the job description does not specify which coaching position it is - just says ASSISTANT FOOTBALL COACH, not specifically an OC. So then couldn’t it be that the job is Rahne’s and the posted position is ultimately to replace the one he vacated?

From my brief experience working with the University some 30 years ago, full time staff positions are required to be posted - first to University employees and then to the general public. The decision makers may have already made up their minds, but this is the legally defensible process.

PhilipintheValley, whom I think still works for the University, would certainly know more and can provide greater detail.

That said, I think there should be a "CV" prepared for the entire BWI/McAndrew Board, stating our qualifications, cumulative years of experience, number of National Titles we believe we could have won if we were given the chance to call plays and our general awesomeness as people.

Standard... and in fact may have been a result of some of the total University wide recommendations made after Sandusky mess..

Wrong. In place long before that.

There is no longer an internal posting requirement.

I did notice that as well. Interesting.

No. All of the assistant coaches have the same job title.

Yes, the job must be posted externally even if the actual person being hired is internal. At least that's what happened with me.

 

[CF LION]

I found this requirement in the job posting slightly amusing:

Coaching experience at the collegiate level is required.

The University couldn’t afford us

 

[SCBlueFan]

UncleRoy is correct. At my public university, though not PSU, the law requires us to externally post any job opening for a minimum number of days. That can be from 1-2 weeks depending on whether it is a staff or faculty position. I'd bet heavily that there is a minimum external posting requirement involved here.

Can that be revised to

"Successful coaching experience at the collegiate level is required"

One wonders if JayPa and McQuade will apply

I am interested to see what PIV says. UncleRoy may indeed be correct, however I do know that there is no posting requirement in many situations for an upgrade within the same level of position. Meaning, if one goes from Business Analyst I to Business Analyst II.

It doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things and I'm not trying to pick a fight with anyone--it's just a point of curiosity.

 

[RGWhirly]

They now have to post the position, even if Franklin already has a hand shake deal worked out with someone.

So that explains why there was a sighting of McQueary standing at the main entrance to the Lasch at 3:00 this morning.

Motherfvcker is probably gonna sue PSU if Coach Franklin doesn't grant him an interview.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

No. All of the assistant coaches have the same job title.

Exactly my point - the posting could be for Rahne’s current position if he’s moving up to fill JoMo’s.

The play calling process wouldn't be any slower or less bleeped up then when JayPa and Galen Hall were working together...

 

[4rosco]

Could this also be the posting for the additional position that they will able to hire starting in January?

 

[Leo Ridens]

Package deal, negotiated at the Tavern during the 2nd half of the MD game.

Trying to keep this short, what you suggest is technically possible in the Penn State system, but that's not what will happen in this case. The position will be posted, even if filed internally. With a high profile position like this where speed and confidentiality is a concern, the position might actually be filled before it gets posted.
