No coach, including Ryan Day and Dan Lanning, should assume more than a one-season commitment these days.

For those who missed, some of the transcripts. [ Adult language edited Kraft doesn't use fricking ] On the Oregon game and roster talent: "But because we play close to the number two team frick them that ain't the number two fricken team my team's better than them and I don't want you guys to fall victim to what the crowd is saying cuz when we're at the end of the year last we start fricken punishing people in the Oregon game it just I know we didn't come out with the outcome we wanted but man we played our fricken balls off and started moving people and moving people that was a small glimpse" On Penn State’s location and recruiting disadvantages: "I'm so glad you brought that up because that's the question we're asking them we matter we probably need to fricken change the way we recruit cuz Alabama ain't around crap in South Carolina oregon have you all been to Oregon no crap there ain't crap going on it's a bunch of fricken weirdos... ohio State it's the one thing our fans don't understand it's a city there's no doubt there is no doubt but I thought that would be like one of the biggest things that I agree... but like to your guys you're all saying it and we're giving you an insight of what we're we're interviewing like what we're talking to Terry about later this afternoon it's like that crap like so how do you fix that like I can't tell I'm not wired you're not wired he'll be like frick it we're at Happy Valley" On National Championship contenders: "Those are the things we have to get addressed if we are going to actually win a national championship. Which is what we will do here that's what Ohio State Michigan is a pains me to fricken say and George Bama and Oregon right now although I think they're frauds" On Penn State culture vs. Oregon/Nike: "The Penn State thing is real i'm not dismissing that but the Penn State thing doesn't get you the Penn State job the plan and how you embrace the Penn State culture gets you the Penn State head coaching job right that's why Terry has the upside... why you think fricken Phil Knight Phil Knight they fricken got the Nike the whole Nike Deal Like that's why they won't win a national champ" On NIL money and Texas: "... my buddy is the guy behind Texas i tell these guys he put $22 million of his loan money into Texas he put he gave the $5 million to Archie and it's like they pay 65 guys they pay 65 guys and they gave $5 million to Arch Manning footnote oh by the way everybody else gets a scholarship i know we don't care about scholarships anymore but you still get the scholarships right they get the off and all that and if you don't you're out georgia Oregon what they do you're late for class $10,000 fine that's how they get their money back" On winning expectations: "We ain't fricken trying to win six seven fricken games trying to win the whole fricken thing and we damn know let's just call it what it is it's two fricken games got to win you get past Ohio State Oregon whoever the fricken game like that's it everybody else should fricken blow their fricken doors off they don't hold a fricken candle to you all".

Got to give the rest of the country a fighting chance to compete. Jeez this team is going to be freaking awesome for years to come!

Cue Ryan Day complaining about how the earl signing period shouldn't take place during championship weekend. I bet Cignetti was loving this drama.

So much for the Oregon-Uncle Phil NIL troll narrative. Sorry to lose him as he would have been a great addition, but the Duck WR room is loaded and with the addition of Lott and Hampton will be just fine.

Darn!! - Time for this OBD Forum topic to disappear to the depths.

Thanks, I wasn't able to watch. It was to be expected. He's been committed there forever. I don't blame Oregon for trying. Now get back to coaching the team to win some playoff games!

He announced for Ohio State.

Nogiating is an art form made significantly more complex when 19 year olds are the seller. In this situation I do think he was caught off guard with Hartline leaving who was the reason for Ohio State becoming WR U. He wisely took a step back, then his agent didn't let the crisis go to waste. Now we get to see if Day and company were able to address the loss of services of Hartline to his satisfaction.

Even if you get it right for the wrong reason, you're still right. Campbell has done more with less, no doubt. But I thought PSU was looking for a guy to do more with more? https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2025/12/05/penn-states-coaching-search-matt-campbell-hire-james-franklin/87615387007/?utm_source=usat-path-to-playoff-nletter76&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=sportsgreeting&utm_term

Seeing these "hostage" tactics are bit disheartening . . . but that's the way it is for the time being. Not sure why every Top 5/10 player doesn't simply "not sign", and say they're "weighing their options". A flood of teams will rush in with their actual highest and best offer.

Hard to believe a member of the Rapin' Sanduskies would say such a thing.

Or at least LSU's NIL boosters want a say!

A program that almost got the death penalty, completely face planted in a year they were favored to make the final 4, and now has one of the most botched coaching searches in recent memory….should probably not be “doubling down” on their greatness at the expense of others. If OBD are a fraud, what does that make Pedo State?

How fun, an encore! Get you popcorn and enjoy the show, literally. Based on the info in the article, I'd say 95% chance he still ends up at Ohio State with a sweetened pot. He and his agent played the hand they were dealt well.

"We Are!" no longer classy. It's been a whole generation of low integrity at that school. I don't respect them anymore, and they deserve every failure they seize.

What a line up of teams going after him. Didn't know LSU was involved, but Kiffin still wants a say.

Hey, Matt Campbell! You may be the last guy in line, but there could be some soup left? If you do aim to stay in Ames, do you know any quality flag football coaches? Your Buddy, Pat (I ain't that good at my) Kraft

Not a good look for a guy trying to hire a high quality coach, but pink slips seem to be a fashionable choice this season... If Kraft is presenting PSU to prospective coach prospects and their agents the way he talks to their athletes, it makes sense why nobody is listening.

I’ll go with my usual OC request: An under-the-radar, up-and-coming phenom that Dan Lanning has identified first.

With as stacked as this offense is set to be for the next few years, he could bring in anybody he wants.

If he’s cranky at 0-2, he should ask the fuskies what 0-12 feels like or he can just wait and find out for himself.

Young Weiss would bring a distinct schematic advantage with him. 😁 Is his old man still receiving golden checks from the Domers?
