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. No 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?

Pat, Duck! That pink thing coming at you is a slip! 🤪

Those a good names. And if you like the Kiffin/Weiss offense, you could give Weiss a call. He’s been with Kiffin for a while, but three of Lanning’s coordinators have become HCs, and in the same amount of time, none of Kiffin’s have. Could be enticing. I’ll probably get some boos for this, but I don’t think Andy Kotelnicki wouldn’t be a bad hire. He’s getting a lot of crap for what’s going on at Penn State, but that whole operation fell off a cliff. His 2024 Penn State offense was good, and we know about his work at Kansas. I don’t think he was getting HC looks by accident.

Oregon offensive line dominates All-Big-Ten squads, aims higherAutzen ZooOregon offensive line dominates All-Big-Ten squads, aims...The conventional wisdom is that it's impossible to mold a top-graded offensive line out of a group of transfers, but that's exactly what A'lique Terry did.

Lanning breaks down the traits he is looking for "To me, it's about the ability to be humble, the ability to work with others and share a creative space, to realize it's not just yours, it's others ... " Lanning has been two-for-two in that process, and there's no reason he won't go three-for-three. Lanning breaks down traits for future offensive coordinator

Sour grapes for sure. Before Oregon joined the Big Ten, Penn State was considered one of the top 3 programs in the conference. Oregon came in, beat them in the Big Ten Championship in our first year. Last year was "supposed" to be the year that Penn State finally ascended. Oregon crushed that. This year, Penn State was picked by some to be in the national title game. Players came back for another year to take care of "unfinished business ". Oregon went into their house and broke them. Oregon in one year showed Penn State how it's done. This man is laying all of the lost dreams of the last two years at the feet of Oregon. And guess what, we embrace that! Glad we could help!
