Per CBS, they’ll make Cignetti say no. From there, it’s Rhule or Campbell. https://www.youtube.com/live/C91EBfqKZUM?si=XEfXjDK-tdTUg5Xv

Manny Diaz?

Maybe so, but the emotional firing of Mason after the bowl game, versus the end of the regular season, didn't leave time for Maturi to find a competent staff. It set the program way back. At least in terms of timing, PSU is giving themselves long ramp to find a new staff.

Other than money, is PSU really that good of a HC job? They are perennial red-headed step children to OSU, Michigan, Oregon, USC(?) but with fans that still remember 1980s-90s Joe Pa. Like Nebraska except in more fertile recruiting grounds.

I guess the PSU administration and boosters saw through the extraordinarily easy run to the CFP semifinals last year.

Holy Chit. Emotional firings like that often don't end well. See Mason -> Brewster.

Hard to argue with this. Two weeks ago, Northwestern and UCLA were considered the bottom two teams in the conference by a margin and PSU fans probably banked two wins in their minds. It seems unfathomable those were two losses.

This. I think much of the run game issue is scheme. I'm not sure if they're limited by the formations that they want to run through Lindsey or what, but the straight ahead vanilla blocking, often just 5 O-Lineman (maybe a TE) into a 7-8 man front and with no lead blocking, just isn't working.

This. The WRs have been softer than baby poo (in particular one that I won't mention). The Gophers typically had at least one guy that could take the ball from defenders, Jackson, CAB, TJ, but no one has stepped up yet this year.

It seems like Fleck's teams have gotten better throughout the season after looking sketchy and rough the first few weeks (2023 being an exception...I hunted more that fall). Some of that depends on injuries, etc. Let's hope they can get some consistency in the OL, DT gets healthy, and the...

I see getting at least 3 Ws out of Nebraska, Iowa, MSU, Northwestern and Wisconsin. The Purdue game is influencing this thread quite a bit. The D will be OK if they stay healthy. Purdue is decent on offense and scored an average of 25 ppg against Illinois, USC and Notre Dame. 20 against the...

Unreal that a W came from that game.

C. Gopher coaches decide to transition to a pure-play passing offense right when the refs decide passing defense should be officiated like the 1970s. Big plays from big players save the W, which is nice.

Looks like I took the bad juju with me when I gave up on the game earlier in the fourth with Purdue driving and up 20-13. Ya'll can thank me later.

#8 completely interfered with on 3rd down and no flag. Part of the issue is that #8 is so soft that refs won't call anything. I'm out. I can't take this anymore.
