I'm warming fast to this hire. I was clouded by my SDSU ties, but I think his mentality is exactly what we need.
I know he’s probably gone, but Rocco has a chance to re-write the ISU record books next year if he stays. That’s got to mean something. He’s also from a financially secure family, so he would have the privilege of going for that.
Someone on here also said that his dad was pissed at JP, so no idea if there’s any truth to that either. If that’s real, he may be going somewhere else regardless
Transfer portal opens 5 days following a head coach departure once official. I don’t think that officially starts until Penn State’s board approves Campbell’s hiring tomorrow, but I could be wrong.
Big credit to Pollard for making the hire quickly, but I still don’t know if it needed to be announced in the same team meeting as Campbell announcing he is leaving.
I have a work meeting at Sukup end zone club on Tuesday afternoon followed by a facility and stadium tour so I'm curious what the vibes will be around the facility and if we'll run into any players
Did Coach play that Meaney character in The Waterboy?
Looks like we hired Wayne from LetterKenny.
Yeah. I have less than zero inside info, but if I were in Rocco’s shoes, I would be looking at this as a chance to become a legend at the school I’d given four years of my life to.

This situation is surely way, way more difficult for the players than for us. A coach you loved and signed up to play for makes the decision to leave (though being done for more personal reasons probably softens that blow). You lose a lot of staff members you've developed strong relationships with too. And now you have to decide whether you want to uproot and go with him or to somewhere else, and have to wait to find out if you're even wanted there, or here for that matter.
Having the new head coach here through that time period at least takes some of the uncertainty out of it

Rocco is going to take the advice of his dad. His dad is a former first round nfl draft pick, a pro coach(semi pro? Is the UFL considered pro?), and a highly intelligent guy. He’s going to give him the best advice about staying or leaving. My guess is he stays based on his father’s advice because it will be the best for him. We will see in the coming days though.
I believe we just need one or 2 of the true "leaders" to say they are staying and others will follow. I would love to start next season and actually not need the program to know who most of the starters are.
They're up front because they are captains/leaders. We'll see if they stay, most probably will, but glad they showed up unlike Leavitt for Arizona St today
I knew he looked like someone familiar. Will the real Shorsey stand right up!
Their world has been shook in the last few days....but I too think after a few days they would have the respect and class to understand any anger/frustration shouldn't be directed at Rogers.
What we all know is these young men have shown what great young men they are over the last few years. I respect them all doing what is best for them.
Absolutely. If, say, Rocco and Coop were to stay, that would be a permission structure for a lot more guys to stick around. That said, I’d be moderately surprised if they do, and I won’t fault them for leaving.
