Please allow me to reintroduce myself. I am the operations lead for a manufacturer of roof and floor trusses. But the reason I am on social media is to talk about college football, Philly sports, and share pictures of my dog.
You may know me from the other place as @KevinOnCFB.

Penn State getting a surprise QB commitment from Payton Falzone was a nice development today. I do have some slight concerns about a QB committing to a program without a head coach... unless Falzone knows something we don't. nittanylionswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Has Penn State tried blowing on the recruiting cartridge?

Penn State easily on track for a recruiting ranking that will pale in comparison to the sanction years. That's how bad this recruiting cycle has crumbled.

As expected, Penn State has lost four-star safety Matt Sieg on the first day of the early signing period. BUt he ins't going to Virginia Tech either. Nice get for West Virginia. nittanylionswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

So here are my thoughts on this Penn State coaching search.
I have always said that you can take as long as you want to make the right hire, but you better make sure it actually is THE right hire.
That said, Penn State has totally fumbled this process despite a supposed head start.

I posted my Penn State coaching search hot board 5.0 yesterday. Then UCLA hired Bob Chesney. So I made a quick update and now offer you the Penn State hot board 5.1. nittanylionswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Working on finishing up my updated Penn State coaching hot board. A lot to reflect on and adjust after the last 48 hours on the coaching carousel. Will have this up on @nittanylionswire.bsky.social at noon Eastern today.

If the Penn State defense has ANY big plays in them today, now would be the time.

I would feel better about Penn State's chances right now if the defense could actually do something.

Honestly, it would be somewhat fitting if Penn State's seaosn ends with a loss in a winner-goes-bowling game against a Kirk Ciarrocca offense.

The impact of Penn State's in-season coaching change has been cataclysmic for this particular recruiting cycle. Once ranked as high as No. 6 in the nation, Penn State's updated ranking is sitting at No. 111 according to 247Sports.

Did the Eagles get a gift call from the officials with the game on the line? Yep. Go Birds.
