So we should have renegotiated his contract to give him more money during the middle of the season (or after last season's 14-17 season)?
i don't know the answer. maybe we almost agree. , but i don't think we did a great job
And sometime in the coming weeks, we will have a coach, and will have players. Probably about a quarter of the players in college basketball will turn over in the coming months, and a lot of the coaching carousel is still left to play out. Keep in mind that when Micah got here, he also didn't really have a team, and had to re-recruit everyone and head to the portal to fill in the rest.
The cupboard was pretty bare when Shrews got here too. With the transfer portal, any coaching change is likely going to empty out the cupboard. I think if we were going to lose Shrews, now is as good a time as any because we weren’t going to be all that good next year anyway. Maybe the new hire can get a couple of guys to stay, bring in some new recruits, and get some portal guys and set us up for a shot at the tournament in two years, which is about where we would have been had Shrews stayed.
I guess but i don't feel like this season was dramatically better than 2018 or 2020. Obviously making the cut for the NCAA is a huge differentiator, but the overall seasons were comparable.
Agreed, Fisher would be a ridiculous hire. Turns out Shrewd was not such a great hire (thanks Sandy!) since he bolted 1st chance, and will end up leaving little talent behind. However, he did show that a good coach can succeed at Penn State, and that is encouraging. I don't blame management for him leaving, but they better get it right with the replacement. Need a proven winner with head coaching experience and who can recruit the NE and MidAtlantic. There are a number of excellent candidates who would be thrilled to run a Big 10 program and make real money. Can Kraft and crew find the right one? We shall see.
If I recall correctly, when Shrews took over every player was in the portal…he managed to convince some to stay, but a bunch left as well.
And we have little worker bees like you who do nothing but yell at anyone who dare question a coach.
Starting to agree a little on Shrews now that everything is sinking in. He has had quite a few stops. I think the fact that he was not a HC before made people overlook that. also having his own son committed made it hard to believe he wasn't staying for 4 more years
And we have morons like you that think you know more than every coach and now every AD. Weren’t you just bitching about PSU having Shrews as a coach just a few weeks ago? Zero credibility.
Guess I'll repost it...

No, I'm holding apologist erial to the fire and calling him out for what he is. I don't even have any beef with you and frankly never have...you just keep jumping in because you need to be liked so so so badly lol
It took a half hour of your sorry life to dig up a heap of stuff nobody cares about but you 😆 🤣 and I'm still not Gunsie. That took 8 seconds 😆Guess I'll repost it...
You're a "new member" of the board that has never heard of 21Guns or MilesKauffman, yet you know all about UncleLar or that I support Ed Dechellis (the only handles that have ever attacked me for liking DeChellis are all of yours). Under every one of your aliases, you have the same posting style, and post on the same topics (I mean, everyone posts about football, but you've had a special liking to Wrestling, and trashing the basketball program).
Many know of UncleLar, but you've always had a love of attacking him, and have even found the need to use his real name and not allow him anonymity of his alias. If I search for all posts calling him "Uncle Larry Fall", the only two posters that have ever used it are Psugo823 and 21Guns. For example...
MBB vs Wisconsin @ 8:30
Penn State basketball is well below average as in 11 or 12 out of 14. Worse than mediocre. Mediocre can make the Dance. Yep. You are what your record says you are. 5-8.
Fire Shrewsbury
Allow me to present the official Parkhill/Dunn/DeChellis/Chambers/Shrews apologist post officially sanctioned by Erial Lion and The late Uncle Larry Fall: It's ok Shrew(or insert another name of the above)is the best coach there is in the B1G 10. Sure his team can't defend anyone but everyone...
Remember, we gave Donovan two years....
So, after 2017, when this D2 level coach fails, I don't want to hear how we need to give him more time. No DeChellis level excuses for this hire. I think it is a catastrophic failure, but hope to hell I am wrong, but either way, Donovan had two years, Moorhead should not get 4. Fair is fair...
And most obviously...The phrase "ahoy palloi" is uncommon enough as it is, but yet you continually misspell it as "ahoy palloy" (under your different handles)...
Rose Bowl ? Who threw what into the crowd.
And started a kerfufle? A Ute player, #3, went out of bounds in the PSU bench area in first quarter. He started back to the huddle then went back to the sidelines. Just then a PSU player picked something up off the ground and then threw it into the stands behind him. A bit of a scuffle broke out...

I still get The Atlantic and National Review in print form. I also buy hard copies of books. Some things I just prefer that way to digital.
Why is Penn State the absolute worst team in the nation on 3rd down conversions?
At just 25% conversions, we are dead last in the country! This seems hard to imagine when scoring 62 points last week. My guess is that we rarely had to convert on 3rd downs last week because we kept getting first downs on first and second down in the 2nd half. Earlier in the season, we kept...
And the most telling sign is that every times you make your ridiculous assertions (ie, LONNY WHITE WILL BE PLAYING FOOTBALL THIS FALL, MARK IT DOWN), you're wrong and then rather than own up to it, you disappear and come back as someone else. And the timing all falls in line as you moved from Miles to Gunsie to Larryrise to Psugo823, as you either get banned or realize you need a fresh start.
Note that @Agoodnap also called it with separate evidence from the wrestling board, which I've never visited...at least try to hide it better with your next handle Miles.

They had a meltdown back when they lost Doherty to UNC. But it turned out that it was Doherty who wasn't really that good
Yea, he was up there with Dan Monson, Todd Lickliter, and Chris Mack as coaches that I can't believe didn't work out. Seemed like a slam dunk at the time.
Hard pass...I've never thought much of him as a gameday coach or talent developer, though he was smart enough to bring Keady with him to St. John's to make up for the deficiency. There is a reason that he's at a low level WCC job at this point.
Agree. Lavin could recruit but wasn't a very good X&O guy even with top shelf talent he brought in @ UCLA and St. John's. Hard pass.
he was actually pretty good at UCLA
I think Shrewd was leaving once ND job opened up. Didn't matter what PSU did on NIL or otherwise.
Where do that come from? I certainly wasn’t comparing Huggins to any PSU coach…I was just commenting that even though Huggs didn’t graduate players, he still never won it so doing that doesn’t guarantee anything either.
He is all about money and little else. if you want to get someone who will stay as long as you keep throwing more money at them, that is your guy.
Why is anyone being criticized for following money? That's the purpose of working. If it's wasn't we'd all do it for free.
