  • What would you guys think if Hart hired this guy? He's done a really great job at saving a train wreck at Penn State. I could see him taking another job due to the way the NCAA hammered their program. Just think about what he could do with Bray. Probably not even a candidate, but its fun to play the what if game.

  • would like the hire but wont happen most likely cause pretty sure he has a hefty buyout

    He is a hot name for the NFL this year along with Gruden and Chip Kelly. Since he came from the Pats I don't see his long-term future in college football. By the way, I heard on the radio yesterday that if Belichick decides to hang it up after this season then Chip Kelly is the top candidate for that job. Kelly is from New England and went to Oregon after serving as offensive coordinator at New Hampshire.

    Solid info, didn't know much of what you said. I believe Chip Kelly will finally make the leap to the league this year. I would watch that very closely, mostly to see how he runs his offense in the league ( I know he will have to make some changes). He's a very goos coach, I could see him winning in the NFL.

    Buyout is pretty ridiculous. Penn State needed to lock somebody up for a long time and make sure they weren't going to be replacing coaches every year or two. I think it's more than $8 million or something like that.

    Thought I heard the buyout was changed because PSU told him they wouldn't get sanctions because it would be illegal for them to sanction them on the Sandusky deal.

    Could be wrong though. Don't remember how that got in my head.

  • Didn't O'Brien and PSU get beat at home by Ohio? Not sure I want him. Would rather have Solich (or the current OC in NE).
