Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

[dragurd]

So they're basically trading in Franklin for Franklin but white?

Franklin but sometimes beats top teams as opposed to franklin but never beats top teams.

True.
But Franklin was good at winning games he should win (until this year).
Campbell loses a doozy about once a year - a MAC game or equivalent.
For instance - who was Colorado’s only Big12 win this year?

Man did Penn State fall backwards into this one!

Campbell has had bigger jobs offered to him and turned them down.

I think he turns this Chernobyl disaster down.

Iowa State coach Matt Campbell has agreed to an eight-year deal to become the next head coach at Penn State, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel. The deal will go before the compensation committee of the school's board of trustees for final approval on Monday.

Just sayin': Franklin's reported salary was $8.5M a year; I'll guess that Penn State is offering Campbell something similar (or maybe even more). Those "bigger job offers" you refer to may not have been for as much guaranteed money that Ped State is throwing at him.....

Getting rid of Franklin the way they did and when they did was poorly thought out.

It was like ‘fire the guy and they will come, all hail Joesus’

Campbell is basically a side step from Franklin at best. He will be able to get slightly better players at Penn state than Iowa state. I doubt by the end of his career his record is better than Franklin’s.

his overall record won't be but he might win big games at 30-40% rate vs our dumb rushed fieldgol being his only big time win?

Will be interesting to see how many players enter the portal and how many end up at VaTech.

Also 8 year contract they learned nothing

 

[Jaxbuck]

Not sure how anyone (non cult) could see this as an obvious upgrade.

That's because cult members typically have sub-room temperature IQs.

It's not a total disaster hire, which is not the same thing.

I mean it might be if the current roster revoilts for not hiring terry smith and none of his iowa st players follow him.

This guy gets one reading from the book of Joesus wrong and they’ll turn on him by halftime of the spring game.

He better come up with a story about meeting Joe one time if he knows what’s good for him.

Just sayin': 8 years is probably the only way Ped State could get anybody that they actually wanted to hire.

Just sayin': Ped State's 2026 schedule starts out with Marshall, Temple, and Buffalo. Those 3 cupcakes should be 3 easy wins. We don't know who Penn State plays in their 4th game though. I'll say he is (at least) good to go with the Pwed State cult through at least 3 games in 2026.....

 

[brodybuck21]

He's also good for a couple in game meltdowns per year

What happens in 20 years when every young hot and up coming coach was born after he died?
