If I recall correctly, Franklin stated early on that he keeps such a list.

Penn State hires Matt Limegrover as new Offensive Line coach
- Thread starter ChiTownLion
- Start date
If I recall correctly, Franklin stated early on that he keeps such a list.
And the timing of his hire and dem's announcement. Coincidence? I think not.
Demlion - a Plaintiff's advocate who will roll up his sleeves and fight for you! Like a pulling guard clearing the way on a toss sweep, Demlion will remove those obstacles preventing your search for justice and fair redress!It's demlion's brother!
So that explains why Pat Narduzzi was across the aisle from me on a flight from Dallas to Pittsburgh this morning.
Not sure he can cook, but he loved to it eat. His weight ballooned to over 400 lbs before gastric bypass surgery.

That's likely exactly why - Narduzzi was in Bristol (I believe) for the National Championship Film Room broadcast, then he probably caught a redeye down to the convention after the game ended, as Tuesday is the day with the most going on. The convention wrapped up last night so coaches can get back on the road when the dead period ends.
Great hire IMHO.
From Pittsburgh CC, went to the University of Chicago and then got an MS from Northwestern.
He know's the big ten. I also think Chicago is part of the CIC if I'm not mistaken.
Most pitt grads could never get into the University of Chicago....let alone play football and graduate.
Me likey, especially with realizations and comments like below.
After getting fired by the Gophers, Limegrover admitted that he had felt stretched too thin wearing two hats as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach.
He is a Pittsburgh native who grew up watching Penn State. Last month, he turned down an offer to become the head coach at Southern Illinois. He interviewed with other schools to be the offensive line coach as well.
"I want to be an O-line coach, and be the best one that I can be," Limegrover said. http://www.startribune.com/penn-state-hires-matt-limegrover-as-offensive-line-coach/365172871/

I'm freaking out about not having anything to freak out about!!!
Seriously, I don't get that worked up over assistant coaches. They may be great hires. They may be total busts. Only time will tell.
Most of the meetings I attend, people either have their phones or laptops out. It is the day of multi-tasking and buying shoes.
Fonzie DOES NOT approve of this message.....!
BUT
Fonzie (and his owner) DO approve of his hire!

And this, ladies and gentleman, is your Portland Cement Crack of the Week.
What has Minnesota's line been like?
Probably left Minnesota because the defensive coordinator was promoted over him.

They probably won't care too much - Limegrover wasn't retained when Claeys got the head job after Kill was forced to retire. Although I have seen that Southern Illinois had a great deal of interest in him for their head coaching job this offseason and he turned them down.
At worst, the gas tank is delivered, filled up, and the plumbers are connecting everything up.Holy smokes.
Combine Matt Limegrove's rankings with Joe Moorhead's rankings, and our offense is suddenly cooking with gas.
This has to make it's way onto the signboards that teams hold up now to call offensive plays.
Minny has done a nice job with their OL under Kill. They seem to turn big doughy kids into solid players. I like the thought of how Limegrover will be able to work with our solid class.
LOL - Well played fairgambit.
Glad you can keep your sense of humor.
Looks like we landed the good one.
Just need to reject the "evil" twin.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Penn State has hired former Minnesota offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover as the offensive line coach for the Nittany Lions.
Coach James Franklin made the announcement Wednesday.
Limegrover, a native of Pittsburgh, grew up a Penn State fan.
He had the dual role at Minnesota of offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for the last five seasons under now-retired coach Jerry Kill.

A very good story.
An inspiration for many.
He should be able to relate well with players who have to put in the time and effort to achieve their goals.
Plus, he grew up a Penn State fan and has a good academic background.
Looks like a solid hire for CJF.
"He grew up a Penn State fan." All I need to know...this guy WANTS to be here. Love the hire. Plus he looks like a guy I would love to have a few beers with, so that make it even better.
Since the all-knowing board is in favor of this hire, motion approved.
CJF, if you ever want to consult with us, we're here 24/7. That goes for you too Sandy. No need to thank us, it's what we do.

Thank God! Finally.
Fact is that, if we are looking to have our players graduate in 3 years, we cannot wait 3 years to play them. We would NEVER have an O line if that were the case.
I like this hire. He and Moorehead graduated from the same H.S. I'm guessing this isn't a coincidence.
