Matt Campbell to Penn State??

Just for fun, put on your tinfoil hats and let's assume CMC DOESNT take the PSU job. Why all the smoke from the PSU side to the media?

Negotiating cheaper deal with the PSU interim guy?
Trying to make PSU fanbase less unhappy about interim guy since CMC isn't exactly a Saban-level hire?
Creating negotiating leverage for a 3rd mystery candidate they want cheap?
They have to be under tremendous pressure due to the botched search that was starting to get embarrassing. In that scenario, you might want to leak it fast to save your own job.
 
This feels like moving back into your parents house. We were able to live on our own, have a job, etc and now we'll likely be moving back to our parents B12 basement where we've lived for most of our B12 existence.
Not mad at you GTO or your post. Just mad that you’re right.
 
What pisses me off the most, is that we lowered his buyout to $2m last year.

Why in the hell did we do that? If he had a big buyout, It would not have prevented him leaving, but sure in hell would have given us a huge leg up on money for a new coach.

$2M might as well be nothing at this point.

Maybe he asked for it. We had to give him anything he wanted

That’s why they lowered it.

Unfortunately for us moving forward, He earned the right for that,

If it falls through for Penn State at this point, it would cap off probably the most embarrassing head coaching search in history. So I really doubt that's going to happen.

Agree. Puts some pressure on Campbell to not think about things too long as well.

All depends on the school…we aren’t in that category nor is Iowa
I mean Jim Harbaugh finally got his natty at Michigan and then noped out of there really quick.....if Jim Harbaugh can leave CFB then anyone can....ESPECIALLY with how the NCAA has no control over literally anything in this sport
 
Franklin was elite at winning every “should win” game and dismal at beating Ohio State, Michigan and now Oregon.

Matt would get them some of those wins they’ve totally lacked but probably also more likely to lose to Maryland than Franklin’s teams ever were.
