Poindexter says NO! TOM ALLEN says Yes!

It was a well reasoned comment based on Historical data. Most all assistant coaches refuse significant salary increases and increased responsibilities that lead to head coaching slots. Why would you question the accuracy?
Hope you’re right. It would mean we would have an amazing defense over those two years and he would be off for a head coaching job based on the great work he did with the D. Am I missing something?
Why does everyone think poindexter would be great? Just asking. I looked up his resume.
After the end of his NFL career in 2001, Poindexter returned to his alma mater as a graduate assistant. He eventually made his way up the coaching totem pole and was the safeties coach at the end of his tenure at the University of Virginia.
In 2014, Poindexter accepted a position at the University of Connecticut as the defensive coordinator/safeties coach. Poindexter was dismissed along with the rest of the defensive coaching staff at the end of the 2016 season.[9]
In 2017, Poindexter was hired as the co-defensive coordinator (along with Nick Holt) and safeties coach. Purdue made two bowl games in his tenure as defensive coordinator.
In 2021, Poindexter was hired as the co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach at Penn State.

I think the ones advocating for him suspect he's eventually going to be a good DC and would rather us be the ones who give him the opportunity vs leaving here and doing it elsewhere.
He also learned from a great in terms of Manny. I think Allen goes through a 2-3 year hc rehab here, leaves for a power 4 hc gig, and Poindexter takes over as dc.
He was out of bounds before the ball hit the the goal line- No TD. Easy Call.
I actually think he could last a while. He got his bag of money. His expertise is defense. He might not be in hurry to rush back.
Agreed--he's 53 and just went 18-43 in the Big Ten over 7 years. Is he a guy that would want a mid-level HC position? Or would he rather be a DC?
Honestly, let's hope he does well enough that another program will want to take him
No matter how Penix stretched out he came up short.
Something I am sadly familiar with…..😿
It’s not everyone. I have asked the same question. Other than Poindexter being a nice guy, there is no way I would hand over a coordinator position from in-house coaching staff.
We know!!! You were in the pool!!! I miss the old board humor, good stuff!
Penix came up short because he prematurely ejected himself prior to making final penetration.
You guys laugh all you want but, in the end, Penix is standing tall as he prepares his Washington Huskies to do battle against Texas.
