    Let' s calmly look at this situation:
    1. Penn State hires a FB coach who they KNOW has NFL aspirations
    2. Penn State hires a FB coach who only wants to coach, not be a shmoozy community glad-hander
    3. Penn State hires a FB coach and all the old timer Paterno fans and loyalists give him gruff for not being Paterno enough
    4. Penn State hires a FB coach and knows damn well the hellacious sanctions coming down the line
    5. Penn State KNEW this wasn't a forever coach in O'brien when they hired him...

    Do I feel bad for the young players that could have transferred, bought into O'Brien and are left hanging today stuck at a crappy FB school? Sure. Name me a school where that doesn't happen...waiting...and still waiting...

    But to call a guy an asshole for going to a MUCH better situation, fulfilling a DREAM of his to coach in the NFL, with a great owner, a #1 pick in the draft for QB - Offensive minded coach who can hand pick his QB...for a lot more $$$...hmmm, asshole doesn't seem like the right word here...

    Now, if you are a Penn State fan, maybe you are sore you lost a good FB coach. I get that. Be hurt, thats fine.
    Be glad there is still a FB program. Your next coach, winning record aside, will most likely be there for a much longer time.

    Plain and simple, Penn State has needed stability coming off the atrocious rape and molestation nightmare. The sanctions will dry up in a few short years and Penn State will be back to making a difference on Saturdays.

    No doubt....still bitter

    Can be bitter, means we lost a good coach. Beats throwing a shitty coach out after a 2-10 season. Hopefully we grab another good one

    Penn State will do good to get Golden. He's a good coach. He'll just to have to change to wearing blue ties instead of orange ones.

    he's the guy i would want. he was one of the names floated about a couple years ago. saw it yesterday in a couple spots. not sure if he would leave miami but it makes sense. he played there. coached locally at temple.

    I'd be very happy with golden but I don't think he'll leave miami. Dude is a hell of a recruiter too. I'd be happy with this. I wasn't sure of you saw somewhere that it was a possibility.

    Everyone is saying james franklin too. I don't know anything about him but sounds like there would be some pretty big hurdles to get him.

    No no no schiano

    Franklin would be my number 1. Guy is as enthusiastic as they come. Kids want to play for him. He's a PA guy. I think he's being mentioned for the Texas job though.

    I would not be disappointed with Golden, but I agree...I don't think he's leaving Miami.

    I'd love Caldwell to take the job as well.

    Shiano would be a big step backwards

    Yeah, I have read all that about franklin. Really hope they do everything they can to make that happen. I can't say enough how badly a schiano hire would be. Liked what Joyner had to say, schiano doesn't fit any of that.

    First order of business is getting hackenberg to stay. Again, why would he want to stay and play for schiano

    Casualty number 1, Allen Robinson going to the NFL. Although it probably would have happened regardless.

    Casualty is a little harsh...he was gone no matter what.

    Good news, I read a tweet by David Jones (beat writer - Harrisburg Patriot News) said he heard from a source that Schiano will not be the guy

    and there's casualty number 1. O'Conner will not enroll next week. Currently at 1 scholarship QB. One wrong decision from having no QBs on the roster

    Yeah, this is a pretty massive blow. A couple others are also pretty non-committal at this point too. JHolley is in wait and see too. Except for this guy, Marcus Allen, a 3 star safety

    “I’ve come to realize over the past 48 hours that Penn State isn’t a person. It’s a spirit and an idea. It’s the fans and the players and the coaches and the people who live in State College. The feeling I get when I visit State College isn’t due to one person, but my experience with everyone I have come in contact with. I feel truly blessed and humbled to be mentioned in the same sentence with Penn State Football. Thank you all for accepting me into the PSU family. Coach Johnson has shown me through this that a team player works hard and stays the course through adversity. I’ve learned a new life lesson before I even stepped foot on campus. WE ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

    People are reading into the radio silence from Golden and camp. I wouldn't. Also read that he would likely have to find a new QB coach as he doesn't have a great track record developing QBs.

    Read on twitter that a Miami BOT member who would know said everyone will know tomorrow if Golden is Miami's coach. Guess we'll see.

    Also read that O'Conner never said he wasn't enrolling next week. He said right now it doesn't look good. As with everything, words are just thrown out there, true or not.

    It's terrible.

    Blue White Illustrated has Al Golden calling a team meeting today. ESPN has it down to Franklin, Golden or Muchank

    My first thought. Franklin would probably be the best hire for the short term. Golden would provide the most stability. Then again, given what they just went through, Franklin's buyout would probably be astronomical.

    Edit: BWI has Golden being offered the job. Not buying it though.
