Thread for Hippos to mock Penn State

[Drunkmasterflex]

I would love to see him as the next coach, other than Sumlin he would probably be my choice.

SI.com is reporting that a deal for Mullen is close. Wonder if they are just going off the previous reports?

i know msu cant win in the sec but why does this guy want to clean up this mess

For right or wrong it still is an attractive job.

The local news station that SI referenced retracted the story.

i honestly dont see that big of a mess when it comes to the football program...unless some smoking gun comes out i dont see there being any sanctions and when mullen arrives there literally wont be a single person left on campus from the paterno era...nor will there be an executives left in the school administration

of course the penn state name will carry smudge for a while but i think from a football aspect the scandal is overrated...and really how much worse can the program get....since joining the big ten penn state has less conference titles than northwestern

they are never going to get a top level coach like urban meyer scandal or no scandal but right now i think its the perfect job for a second tier coach like mullen who wants a massive promotion and a challenge....in fact if a guy like mullen turned down the job because of the challenges perceived or real that the scandal presents then farg him hes a Hoyda and i wouldnt want him anyway

this may sound crazy but i think the job might actually be better now than if paterno rode off into the sunset on a white horse...it actually will be easier to take the job now because you will be following a scandal more than a legend...and even that legend is now is disgraced...the pressure will now be much lower and the leash much longer

could be, but all anyone sees when penn st flashes on the screen or comes knocking on their door on a recruiting trip is jerry sandusky buttfarging a 10 year old

[ice grillin you]

at worst they recruit the same level of talent as they have for the last 15 years but they have better coaching

[MDS]

so most likely they are going somewhere between the outback and alamo bowls

[ice grillin you]

time will tell because maybe im downplaying the effect that the scandal will have but that sounds about right for a floor...their ceiling should be the big ten title game every year with the hopes of winning it once a decade

[phattymatty]

i don't think it's going to affect the football program one bit...give or take a few players in the upcoming one to two years that made split second decisions and changed their minds, they weren't recruiting big time talent lately anyway. in fact i wouldn't be surprised if kids weren't coming to psu because of playing for a 100 year old coach.

the school in general is going to suffer a lot financially just because of the stigma but even that will go away. shtein, all this story took was the syracuse story for it to drop down in the news cycle.
