The difference in taxes and cost of living between Pa and SC is tremendous....heck we don't even have auto inspections or emissions! 3000 Sq ft home on 1 acre has taxes of around $1100 total annually .
I said the same thing about NC then a coworker told me if you send your kids to public school there you’ll understand.

Not upset - it shows PSU is in the greet game so to speak (but, they always have been). It’s a misuse of funds IMO - he’s only as good as the players he has. OSU knows this.

What would you have spent the funds on instead? I'm curious what the better use was.

Nor will Kotelnicki. James will need to reopen PSU Football Inc.'s checkbook next December. 💰💸💰💸

Such behavior is emblematic of highly inorganic organizations....those that can't develop from within.

Ohio State just won the national title with Chip Kelly and Jim Knowles, as far from internally developed as it gets. Coaching development almost always occurs through changing organizations, and rarely ever is it merely promotion from within. This isn't the same as Fortune 500 business, so the comparison means little.

I’m pretty sure Kotelnicki already got his raise, before Knowles signed on.

Yeah but their idol went with nepotism and kept coaches around forever to make them feel like they were in a safe spaces as the SEC and tOSU walked right by him.....but hey they keept those same coaches forever no matter what the outcome was and nobody wanted them.

$10,000/year to the top 350 undergraduate students at PSU? :unsure:
That would be a great answer - if the athletic department budget was part of the University's general budget and if student tuition was used to fund the athletic department. But it's not.

What are their 40 times? How much revenue are they generating or how big are their TV contracts? You also do know D2 and D3 football has everything you're looking for still in the game. Go Team!!!!

Franklin has demonstrated he can get this team to the NC. Disappointed more here don’t have the same faith in him. The DC matters less than almost any other coach IMO. It’s never been an issue. I guess people see this as a defeat for OSU, but unless it impacts reciting, it isn’t.
Recite this: "My name is Midnighter and I'm a pud. I should be watching The Neverending Story and posting photos of whatever chick is in that movie as my avatar - that's my wheelhouse - rather than commenting on football matters, but I can't help being a drama queen."

Or, what will it be when he doesn’t?

I like you, but in this thread, which OBVIOUSLY. o_O should be seen as great news for PSU, your constant sh|tting is intolerable. You’re on a mission to be right about Franklin’s ultimate failure, no matter what, and you’re stinking up the joint.

This site needs a feature allowing one to ignore a poster in a particular thread. For f*ck’s sake.

I am not a fan of hiring flavor of the month journeymen when you have the opportunity to promote from within - that is all. Enjoy the hire.

I don't know what happened to that guy, but he used to be a sensible decent poster. It's been non stop for over a year now. It would be one thing if there was any balance left but even trying to pretend this was a bad hire is a joke. There is no credibility in saying this wasn't a good hire.

You finally bring something worth addressing — Knowles‘ Creamery ice cream flavor (for more than a month).

🤔

Knowles’ Crushed Buckeye Crunch?

No excuses now, PSU throwing big $ around.
Finally due to this HC pushing the program forward and being fought every step of the way by the school and portion of their fan base still stuck in 1986. Thankfully Kraft and those not fighting the HC got past the roadblocks that are up in there. The ones complaining today or about this hire all seem to want this HC gone....odd how that works.

I'm not complaining, we'll see if this is an upgrade over Allen (Hopefully so) but no denying the "woe is me" we can't compete with the big boy's excuse is out the window.
