I hope Coach K can quickly adapt to the "deep mesh point, hand off to a stationary TB" staple feature of the PSU offense for the last decade.
Kotelnicki new OC

- Start date
Should have a penalty, no? He started moving forward before the ball was snapped.
All things considered Iām not sure Franklin could have done better (on paper); also a good sign that PSU is willing to pay big boy money for staff. May or may not work out, but itās a big swing. Have heard AKās personality is better fit than MY, so thatās a plus.
To be fair, I doubt Shanahan actually invented it. I'm just a Niners fan and knew I've seen that one before!
I hope we are moving on up like George and Weezy to a deluxe seeding in the CFP.......
It's a much-needed move for Franklin, whose offense has only twice been in the top-25 in yards-per-play in Franklin's 10 seasons in Happy Valley.
Moreover, the Nittany Lions' offense has been 81st or lower in three of the last four years, including 2023.
In 2021, Kansas finished No 104 in yards per play. Last year, in Kotelnickiās second season, the Jayhawks improved to No. 6 and played in a bowl game for the first time since 2008. This year, despite injury problems that included losing star QB Jalon Daniels for much of the season due to a back injury, the Jayhawks still ranked No. 8 in the nation, averaging 7.01 yards per play.

So Kotelnicki just attended his first practice at PSU.
And if the coaching staff decides to make a change at QB? It's not as if that's never been done before. Or do you discontinue trusting them?
Is Kotite, I mean Kotelnicki going to bring any Kansas players with him ?So Kotelnicki just attended his first practice at PSU.
Based on another post in this thread he can. This makes me happy. Now we wonāt have to wait until the Spring game, or God forbid the first game in 2024 to criticize an actual coaching
decision he makes.

Also consider that it's Kansas who is generally devoid of football talent and success.
The most interesting aspect of this hire is that Kotelnicki has a kid named Maximus.
Thatās a hell of a thing to have to live up to.
It certainly does set some expectations with the ladies.
Of course he is. That began the moment his name was mentioned as a possible candidate. But now weāre just lobbing shells at his general location. Once he makes an actual decision we can zero in on him and make him wish heād never entered the coaching profession.

There was some chatter about Marion being hard to work sort of like Yurcich. Not sure if true but back to back coaches that are similar luke that isn't a positive. I believe Marion has been job jumping and makes no bones about it that he's climbing.
Kotelnicki just signed four year deal starting at $1.6 mil for next year and progressing to 1.7, 1.8, and 2 mil in year 4.
So, when does the BWICAC have a Zoom call with Coach K to tell him how to do his job? We need to get this guy on the right path as soon as possible.
Hadn't heard about difficult to work with. The one down side to him is that I do think he is looking to be HC, so if he did really well at PSU, he may be gone in a few years. However, that is going to be the case with most good coordinators.
Done already. You missed it. We set him straight.
Yeah, he's Greek Orthodox and flies motorized paragliders, so it's thought-out. The one who named his kid Maximus is just arrogant.
A man needs to know his limitations. In other words, the sooner the FNG realizes that he needs us, the better.
Indeed.... I told him don't bring that gimmick garbage to PSU where you line OT out wide and bring them in motion, that doesn't work. Told him he needs to line the QB in the shotgun and always hand off to the RB standing next to him especially when we need a 1 yard gain.... He now gets the PSU standard for offense.
