Has a habit of blowing early leads. Did not expect any more of him...
Why was he hired? I never understood that.
He wasn't a great offensive co-ordinator. Period. I'd go as far as to say he was a MEDIOCRE OC. I mean I know our forums can get a little bombastic, but nearly everyy week you would see dozens of people saying how ***** he was... and there was def a fair amount of truth to a lot of those claims.
yeah, I can't believe a school that's banned from bowls for four years, lost $60m and all recruiting power didn't attract better candidates. A better question is why did he accept?
Money. Chance to be a HC.

yeah I mean that's probably why, but unless BB told him McD was replacing him I have to believe he'd end up with more money and a more prestigious position somewhere in the next 2-3 years. People say he's got nothing to lose but what job is he going to get if PSU is a 3 win team for the next 4 years? He's almost going to have to start over again...
It wasn't just because of the transgressions of one man and the negligence of others now was it PittPatriot? It was the systematic cover up of a heinous sexual predator against children by those in positions of power over "bad PR". IMO PSU got off lightly. If it were up to me PSU would and should have been hammered harder than SMU.
I sympathise with BOB and the football team but not the institution.
Like where? Death Penalty or not, HC of PSU is still one of the most prestigious jobs in the country. Granted a veteran HC with a track record like Urban Meyer would never take that job, but which marquise program that plays regularly on National TV was going to hire BOB?
WE know BOB because of our infatuation of all things Patriots…but to the rest of America, they probably couldn't tell BOB from Bill O'Brien. This is a guy that was basically unknown outside of New England until he had a sideline spat with Tom Brady?
Don't get me wrong, I like BOB and feel this is a great job for him (no where to go but up) and hope he succeeds; but I also felt that way about Charlie Weis so maybe I should not become an AD or GM.

I do not believe it was a "systematic cover up" - I think it was a bunch of busy good 'ol boys who had too many other important things to worry about, hence brushing it aside. I think they should pay for that. But I also feel there is so much blame that needs to be handed out on so many levels, that I do not choose to hold ONLY those in power (deep pockets) responsible. I understand if you feel differently as this is an emotionally charged issue like no other and I may carry some bias as I am from PA (not a PSU fan, though) and a close family friend is the defense attorney for one of the lead defendants in the perjury case.

He has a 10 year contract, not a 4 year contract.
People should relax, it's his first game. That defense he has is not suited to the strategy. If anything, his coaching error was to go with an attack style D that is so popular in college. But PSU's defenders are big plodders of the Devon Still/Navorro Bowman type. Hodges and Mauti are not blitz-type attackers. The big guys in the middle are there to pressure the pocket. Yet the D-Co. is playing ultra aggressive D. It's just wrong for the team.
The offensive side of the ball looked really good the first half (despite 2 huge turnovers after long drives). The defense looked awful.
