Penn State ain't ever putting together Top 5 rosters and probably not even Top 10, they shoulda been happy sneaking into the playoffs every couple years

paid 50 mill to fire franklin to pay a new coach like 10 mill a year to lose to michigan, oregon and ohio state every year

lol temple was 10 years ago, baylor one good year that's like saying mike norvell is a good coach because memphis looked good and he won 12 games a few years ago.

Nebraska is 5-1 with wins over Cincinnati, akorn, houston christian, michigan state and maryland :mjlol:
It’s not because Rhule looks to have turned Nebraska around.

And yes, one good year at Baylor after Briles decimated the program and they had a major sexual assault program.

Rhule is not a bad coach.

It is kinda funny that you fire Franklin for not winning the big game only to hire a guy who is 2-23 vs ranked opponents.

I think Rhule would do a fine job but he's not an upgrade over Franklin
This is a better critique and totally fair, imo. My only counter is he has never had access to players like he will at Penn State.

100% true but the record for ranked opponents speak for itself; adding more context - he's 0-18 vs ranked opponents since leaving Temple. I get he's the king of rebuilding programs but at some point you're supposed to upset a team or two, no? That's gotta be kinda concerning for a PSU fan if/when they bring in Rhule

I agree

All I’m saying is he isn’t a scammer or a fraud.

I said it last week that Penn State is hoping James Franklin is their Mark Richt and that they can find their Kirby Smart

The problem is that Kirby Smarts don’t grow on trees

Why does that matter? This is college football, not the NFL.

Mike Norvell 12-1 at memphis in 2019
mike norvell 13-1 at fsu in 2023

Guess he's a good coach by your barometer

Billy napier 12-1 at louisiana in 2021 guess he's a good coach as well?

matt rhule 10-3 at temple ten years ago,
1 good season at baylor 11-3 6 years ago

Nebraska 5-1 and none of the 5 wins against a ranked team but rhule is a good coach to you

alright breh :salute:

Rhule has three ten win seasons and is on pace for his fourth.

At this point, you just throwing shyt at the wall and hoping something sticks.
