[nittany119]

Richie Kotite is the man for the job!!!!

The Tavern's own Rick Neuheisel

 

[Howie'81]

Richie Kotite is the man for the job!!!!

This guy:

 

[Breeze90]

This will be OSU's list

1. Dabo
2. Franklin
3. Herman
4. Chip
5. Dan Mullen/Matt Campbell

 

[LaJolla Lion]

LJ didn't get offered a job by CJF.

Am I wrong on that? Anybody know the details?

He was our biggest loss in all of this.

He was butt hurt he didn't get the job...forget CJF.

 

[Nitt1300]

 

[LurkerLazarus]

I'm thinking it would be Herman as the #1 guy. Ash probably is kicking himself for leaving.

For some reason his name has always made me think of tampons

 

[Osprey Lion]

Al Golden is a lock.

After the Fickell disaster OSU isn't going to promote assistants. They can get proven winning Head Coaches.

 

[SUPERTODD]

There is zero chance O$U is outbidding Ole Tex.

 

[PSU_Chicago]

If Jay ... would he still not recruit Ohio?

 

[We Are . . .]

Charlie Strong

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

His hillbilly cousin from Kentucky, Bourbon Meyer.

 

[gslachta]

JIM HARBAUGH, of course.

Is that like if you can't beat 'em join 'em?

 

[MtNittany]

 

[fastlax16]

JIM HARBAUGH, of course.

Would be more entertaining if they hired John. He's going to be available.

 

[psuro]

Chip Kelly.

 

[Ranger Dan]

Charlie Strong

Nah, he’s from the Urban Meyer tree....

 

[PeetzPoolBoy]

Dude from Texas.

Herman bolts UT and the oppressive Texas heat and boosters.

Herman is all Hat, no Cattle. I’d love if OSU did that

 

[WestSideLion]

I suspect tOSU would make a hard push for James Franklin. Sadly, I’d be worried if that happened. It certainly would make things incredibly strained within the B1G.

 

[PSUcup1]

Haha. Fantastic

Come on.... you really think Franklin would do that?

I don't see it. He can build something really strong and consistent here.

When was the last time a Big Ten Football coach switched to another Big Ten school?

Last one I can think of is Gary Moeller. But after he left Illinois he was an assistant at Michigan for a few years before he became HC.

No chance. OSU doesn't offer anything to Franklin that PSU doesn't except a shorter leash.

[Connorpozlee]

Is Tressel’s show-cause term over?

Moeller was HC at Illinois?

Edit-just found he was. Huh.

 

[NedFromYork]

Desmond Howard

 

[Fox Chapel Lion II]

Moeller was HC at Illinois?

Sure was, in the late '70's. Highly unsuccessful there.

 

[RU31trap]

1. Brian Kelly
2. Greg Schiano
3. Chip Kelly

I didn’t say Franklin would take the job. Just them sniffing around would cause major tension in the B1G. As one poster said below, there seems to be an unwritten rule in conference that schools don’t try to poach head coaches.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Richie Kotite is like bad LSD - the bad trips happen for decades

I’d love it. He’d turn them down and do it publicly

 

[ftlpsu]

Mike Vrabel...oh wait he just signed on with a HC job in the Not For Long

 

[oldlion57]

Jerry Faust

 

[Bob_Anderson]

Herman bolts UT and the oppressive Texas heat and boosters.

0% chance. Herman was on the staff in 2015 when this whole episode with the coaches/wifes happened. Everybody from that time will be gone/never welcomed back.

That’s a very valid point. If OSU is following PSU’s script, every former coach is toxic.
