I love to hear this about Gabe: Infante also spent time in New Jersey as a head coach, coaching at powerhouse Paramus Catholic as well as spending time as the defensive coordinator at fellow Garden State power, Bergen Catholic.

Poor guy has the same name as a former Bonnano Capo from NJ who was whacked on the orders from Joey Massino, former Boss of the Family.

Lets hope they all can solidify some recruiting in roads to some of the Jersey Schools and St. Joes Prep and some of the Philly Schools.

Yep, obviously they can’t recruit themselves but having them on staff and using their connections will certainly be of help.

Thank you Dylan. Do we know hat roles/positions they will.have with Penn State?

I wonder if the recent contract negotiation opened up additional budget for these hires. Of course even if it did, all of the Franklin haters will overlook that aspect and will continue to blame CJF for renegotiating every couple of seasons despite the fact that what he's doing is good for the program.

Can't recruit kids but can contact coaches?

I see bios but not what their title/role/position is going to be a Penn State.

They can’t explicitly contact coaches for recruiting purposes but their presence on the staff will help.

They’re all analysts, it’s in the first line but can be overlooked quite easy. Don’t know what their exact analytical roles will be there.

Only so many coaches on the staff can recruit kids. While others may contact coaches to gage interest.

He’s a friend of ours 🤌

Strath Haven legend back in the fold! Good to see Dan get a chance to continue his coaching climb - this time in big time college football

Lyster was clearly a Sandy hire and a no brainer. She likely wanted him because he earned a Master’s in Building Construction and Facility Management in 2017 from Georgia Tech and likely plans to use him to oversee the Beaver Stadium upgrade of ICA's Master Plan.

Really? What did Harbaugh and Michigan do last offseason?

I may criticize Franklin, and I do think he and the team could/should have done more with what they have had, and get a little irritated when the focus seems regularly be what they don't have in comparison to what is really a handful or more of schools...I do think this position or perception trickles down to the team, and the attitude and play of individuals that in the end defines the success of this team.

It’s pretty clear that Franklin is a finger pointer at other things as to why the past 2 seasons have not gone well. For the 1st half of the 2020 season, all Franklin was talking about was the impact of COVID on the team. At the end of 2020, Franklin saw that the top 4 teams and national champion were the same 4 teams expected to win, so he stopped blaming COVID. In 2021, his comments were all about lack of administration commitment, lack of facilities, lack of money for assistants. Not once has Franklin said that he is the problem; and according to folks close to the program, Franklin still has no idea what went wrong and he is still unsure how to fix the problems. I like Franklin and appreciate what he has accomplished over the past 8 years, but it’s pretty clear that he runs his program like a family and not a business, and he has been way too lax in running his program and it shows in the on-field product we see.

Last I checked Franklin took responsibility for the Indians debacle. Your comment about him running the program in too lax a manner is based on how many practices you have attended?
