I'm not going to say the Penn State HC hire will end up being bad, but if you were to script a bad outcome, this would be the storyline.

congrats on your $40 million raise!
The best one in here is Rhule. Signs an extension he didn't earn only because he went to school there. Promptly finishes the regular season 1-3, only beating out a coachless UCLA. And finishes it off with the second worst recruiting class in the Big Ten, only ahead of Penn State.

Hell yes, I want to move to Happy Valley.  Sounds like an alright place to coach a couple of games and then retire early.

If the rumors about them zeroing in on Daboll are true, what a hilarious outcome.  Can a very successful coach cause you think you should be winning national titles...only to hire a NFL coach who flamed out spectacularly and got chopped mid season.  I assume Terry Pegula has a hand in it given he knows Daboll from his time with the Bills, but sheesh.  Though, to be fair, Pegula has done a great job owning the Bills and is the godfather of Penn St hockey which has turned into a solid D-1 program from a club sport in less than decade.

I saw buzz about Willie Fritz, but that seems like it turned out to be false.  That would be a thoroughly unsexy hire but maybe the best that's been rumored.  He's more of a southern guy, but what an absolute winner.  Already fixed Holgerson's mess at UH in just 2 years and the stocked pantry he left at Tulane got Sumrall the UF job.

Rumors are that Matt Campbell might be interviewing there, as well as Jeff Hafely. Hafley was hired by PSU's AD at Boston College.

Daboll spent one year in college as the OC for one of Alabama's championships with Tua. I could have coordinated that offense.

Continues to get funnier.  Hafley who was 22-26 at BC and left before he would eventually get fired.  Campbell who has only had one 10 win season in 10 years in Ames and was perennially outside of the top 3 in the conference until the big dogs left last year and then still managed to lose to everyone good they played this year.  He was a hot name, understandably 5-6 years ago, but he's topped out at ISU...which is fine, not an easy place to win, but not exactly an inspiring hire if so.

And totally agree about Daboll.  But maybe they were inspired by the collegiate success of his successors as Bama OC, Mike Locksley and Bill O Brien, combined 17-32 the last 2 years at Maryland and BC.

If Hafley goes back to college he is objectively dumb as hell.  He will get a chance to be a head coach this year or next in the NFL.

Kinda wonder if that's just being floated around because of their past connection.

It ought to be fireable offense for Penn State's AD to get a head start on this and be the guy left standing without a chair when the music stops.

When it fired Franklin in October, Penn State had 26 commitments for the 2026 class. They ended signing day yesterday with two.

A possible interesting development: Chesney has not signed his deal with UCLA yet (California bureaucracy holding it up). PSU is reportedly trying to get in before he signs.

From The Athletic:

The other huge reason for Penn State's recruiting-class depletion is likewise a simple one: nearby Virginia Tech's hire of Franklin. Yesterday in Blacksburg, he received paperwork from most of the recruits who were originally assembled by his old Penn State staff, including several four-stars. Two weeks after hiring him, the Hokies rank No. 22, their highest spot since 2013.

The signing party even included Penn State's meme nemesis, Big Cookie, as Franklin put out boxes of Crumbl cookies on the tables.
