Will Terry Smith make any staff changes or will he let it for the new Head Coach?
Coach K should have been fired by now! Surprised it hasn’t happened.
@psujoe I just want AK fired I want to take a baseball bat to Jim Knowles 😂
Do you realize between Drew Allar and Jim Knowles Penn St wasted almost 7 million dollars. The only way to stop this shit is to find whoever has the money to pay this out and make them start paying their fair share in taxes. If you’re paying your fair share in taxes you won’t waste money like this. Damn Homer I’m doing something wrong 😂
What this OC has done this season is a crime...Coaching malpractice...He should have been fired with Franklin...Knowles employs a sophisticated scheme that takes a couple of years to come to fruition...I would be willing to give him another year although I am sure the new regime will bring in their own coordinators and position coaches...They may retain a couple of recruiters and the NIL team...
@the-funeral-director FD i remember during the Wisconsin game last year you saying how beautiful the offense was working when Pribula took over in the second half. The word beautiful was the word you used. DA ain’t the right QB for AK system. These true prostyle QB’s don’t work unless they’re in the right system. They damn sure don’t work when you’re trying to run a RPO offense.
If DA ain't the right QB for a coordinators system and he is the best QB on your roster guess what you do as a coach and a coordinator Southern? What do you do? CHANGE YOUR F***KING SYSTEM!!!! You change your system to accommodate your players...I think this kid that started for Penn State this Saturday is a better QB than Pribula is...I have watched Pribula this season and so far I am not impressed...Missouri leans on it's running game and defense to win ballgames...This kid Grunk has a feel for the game and I believe he is going to be a very good QB...
@the-funeral-director I believe Grunk will also be a good QBbut after watching the game I don’t believe he’s on the same level as Pribula is and 50% of Pribula game is his feet. I don’t know what you’re watching but Pribula has played damn good imo considering it’s his first year as a starter with a new team. teams have to practice for the feet of running QB’s and if Pribula was still at Penn St he would be even better and we would be undefeated. AK can change up a little with his offense but he can’t turn it upside down because the QB can’t run it. Pribula ranks 6th in the SEC out of 16 teams but they are run heavy and he’s doing part of the running. He fits what they want to do on offense and that’s why they’re 6-1
The more I think about it the more I’m thinking Manny Diaz might be the right man for the job. We need to get away from the hotdog big 12 bullshit and get back to some good sound football and that’s what Manny Diaz brings we’ve seen it with our own eyes while he was here as DC. Duke is a good sound football team very physical team. IThey look like a football team with an identity on what they want to do as a team just like our defense was when he was at Penn State….just good sound football and it won’t take 3 fudging years to fix the defense.
THE KEEPERS:
Terry Smith
Ty Howle
Anthony Poindexter
Deion Barnes
Stan Drayton
THE HOT-SEATERS:
Dan Connor
Jim Knowles
PINK SLIPS:
Phil Trautwein
AK
Justin Lustig
Hagans
O'Brien
If I were the Head Coach I wouldn’t keep anyone. Unless he’s being directed by Kraft through an anonymous authority to do so then I wouldn’t simply take the job if I couldn’t have my full complement of staff without conditions.
@kularrow if Smith is the recruiter as told to use it think he and th tight ends coach shoustay
Which notable players has Smith directly recruited and signed during the past 3 years?
I really believe Diaz is the man and if he becomes head coach he’ll know who to keep but I’d bet my next paycheck Jim Knowles ain’t one of ‘em. He’s worse than John Butler. You don’t get 3 years to fix a defense that was top 10 when he got here. Gimme a freaking break 😂
Yeah, so beautiful Allar had more yards passing and a better yards per pass average in the game. And we took the lead on a pick 6, which before that Pribula and the offense did nothing. The offense sucked until the 4th quarter and then had two good, mostly run based drives.@the-funeral-director FD i remember during the Wisconsin game last year you saying how beautiful the offense was working when Pribula took over in the second half.

So there's that.
My lord when are you going to wake up and stop blaming a QB for what is a coaching problem
Every thread seems to eventually turn into a Pribula debate lol . All I can say is in the little that I’ve seen of him and Missouri he did nothing special and looked like an average QB who is benefitting from playing on a very good team.

Bingo.
He’s the QB and he manages the game to win and that’s what he’s done something we need if somebody hasn’t noticed. I’m not saying he’s Cam Newton but there’s 7 or 8 plays during every game I’ve watched that he did things to help get the win. Nothing flashy but the chains move and he helps them move.
I actually think the current kid Penn State has at the helm is going to be a better QB than all of em...I like this kid...He has the arm talent but more importantly he has a feel for the game...Allar was a very mechanical QB whereas this kid really seems to have a good feel for the game and is much quicker reading the field and hitting his receivers...I really like him...He impressed me Saturday...That is a tough place to play...
They had 17 points total in regulation and now it's "he managed the game to win"He’s the QB and he manages the game to win and that’s what he’s done something we need if somebody hasn’t noticed.

He had the ball with a chance to win at the end and threw an interception. He had the ball in OT with a chance to win and did nothing... Missouri missed a FG. Only after the defense stopped Auburn AGAIN did do anything. The D bailed him out numerous times.
I have no clue what game you were watching, because he didn't manage chit. The defense won that game.
@roaminglion yeah I’m he throw an interception against Alabama I give you that things like that happen with first year starters on a new team but It wasn’t NW with a 3 year starter at home. 6-1 Roam ranked 15th their only loss is to Alabama and Georgia was lucky to get out with a win at Auburn as well. He’s got the team 6-1 and he helped do it and wins matter. He score the winning TD in overtime roam you’re just not telling the truth.
Fudge the disagreement that we have about Pribula let me ask a question about something on offense that we had last year. The offense has sucked this year maybe AK doesn’t have a QB package that he needs with a QB like Pribula because he played a lot and he moved the chains in different ways and we don’t have that this year. Of course 44 is gone too but a QB like Pribula can and did do the same thing 44 did when he was behind the center? When we needed 4 or 5 yards on 3rd down Pribula was on the field a lot and it usually worked.
Good thing I’m not a big betting man because I would have bet a good chunk of money on coach K being fired by now.
I am with ya Homer...How that guy still has his job is a mystery to me...
