just waiting on announcement at this point.
some rumors/sources/thoughts
reliable sources have reported that penn state search committee is done as some have begun to travel including one of the most prominent in the search to europe for 2 weeks.
a certain recruiting site has mentioned that penn state's hire will be a 8.0 on the richter scale in the shaking of college football
a prominent source has relayed that penn state has hit a grand slam with their coach, in fact a "moonshot", so good that its more like a grand slam in the bottom of the 9th inning down 3 runs, that is how dramatic this hire will be.
sources have said nike is a big player in the paying of this big name coach, as the CEO of Nike is a penn state grad
the penn state acting prez and ira lubert, the prominent psu money man who brought in cael sanderson for the wrestling program has told former players and other alum to butt out, we will get our man
tonight, penn state has received their first verbal commit since shit hit the fan from a 3.5 star d lineman, who does that unless they are confident in a coach
a lot is speculative and rumors at this point, but there seems to be more wings to this than one would have ever thought a couple weeks ago..
the speculation has ramped up on these 4 prominent names
nick saban, mark richt, bob stoops, and chris peterson.
i am not saying any are coming to penn state, as i would be shocked and elated, however in combing through a lot of this, i do know...they have kept the media in the dark, perhaps for some sort of retribution and out of respect for tom bradley and the future coach who probably still has a game left to coach. the prez is an ego driven man who wont take no for an answer, and penn state, with the support of nike, is eager to make a splash here.
stay tuned, we all may be in for the shock of our lives...or psu just hires tom clements...but now, even for a fan and alum of psu, i really am believing, perhaps hopelessly, its going to be HUGE! In fact, i would bet on it.
