Why does our press keep pressing Manny Diaz about a head coaching position, yet there's Iowa, Michigan, Ohio St. and other DC's across the landscape nearly as or just as good.

How many are former HCs of a historic college football program? It’s a legit question to ask, but he’s addressed it. Our media are sh*t stirrers for the most part.

They always want anything good that we have to go away.

Sort of true. No opt outs, but 10 players entered portal and did not participate. Several would have played.
That is something totally different as they needed to be part of teams early class .

I do not agree. Are we going to pretend that if the press doesn't ask the question that Manny isn't thinking of leaving for head coaching positions? If Manny wants to be a head coach, he simply will not want to stay as the Penn State DC. I want Manny to stay but we cannot ignore that he was the head coach at Miami and wants another shot at being a head coach.

Does he want another shot at HC? I mean, I expect he does but sometimes once someone has been through that, they might decide they prefer being a coordinator. I would think Diaz does want to be a HC again and probably prefers returning to Florida or at least closer to there but maybe he wants to be a DC for a while.

I just do not see a problem with different voices and thoughts. I think Flounders and Jones are happy when Penn State does well. But they are not total homers seeing everything through blue colored glasses and that is ok.

But generally, I love T-Frank, Nate, Fitz and Ryan. I watch their YouTube videos every day and love it. And, yes, there is a feeling that they are Penn State fans doing a job rather than a more objective journalist. They look more for the positive than the negative.

Follow a couple other teams news media and you will see a difference. We have no real homers. Half are 80% negative/indifferent.

But they had 10-12 hit the portal and not take part in the bowl game despite Saban offering for them to be a part of it.
