Shrews to ND nfm

[Ghost of OM]

Damn!

 

[Midnighter]

Seems like the geography is too much to overcome here with him. I'd love to see what PSU offered though.

Notre Dame hires Micah Shrewsberry: Next Irish coach led Penn State to first NCAA Tournament win since 2001

Shrewsberry will head to South Bend despite an enticing contract upgrade from the Nittany Lions

[WVilleLion]

Boooooooooooooooooooo.

 

[JoeLion]

That hurts.

It is ALWAYS about the $$$$

 

[AvgUser]

Frankly, screw him. And I hope he doesn’t forget to take the horse he rode in on.

 

[GrimReaper]

Maybe, maybe not. Bet looking out over a half empty arena had something to do with it.

 

[LionsAndBears]

This stings. Disappointing, very disappointing.

So… who is next?

 

[psuro]

What can you do? Good luck to him. Thanks for what you did for us in a short time.

 

[GrimReaper]

[Omar81]

He joins Bill O'Brien in my mind. And in my mind, O'Brien was (still is) an A-hole.

 

[ODShowtime]

This is a little bit embarrassing. At least he's from Indiana.

 

[fairgambit]

This is why we can't have nice things.

 

[DaytonRickster]

Not happy about this. PSU took a chance on him and this is his answer. Don't let the door hit you in the backside buddy.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

Here’s my pick…and I am sure I will be told I am stupid, or no way he will want the job, Tommy Amaker… Harvard Coach. Should have had Duke job. JMO, feel free to hammer me.

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

I don’t understand why people are shocked. There was ZERO chance he was staying.

 

[WVilleLion]

Apples and oranges. O’Brien did not leave for another college job.

It's not shock. It speaks to the lack of loyalty and appreciation. Heralded the fact that PSU gave him an opportunity when no one else would. It was false gratitude.

 

[Omar81]

They're still both A-holes to me. If you're implying Shrewsberry is worse, I don't see any need to argue with you.

 

[GrimReaper]

Here’s my pick…and I am sure I will be told I am stupid, or no way he will want the job, Tommy Amaker… Harvard Coach. Should have had Duke job. JMO, feel free to hammer me.

Reasonable choice, but I doubt he's leaving Harvard. His teams have been mediocre of late.

O'Brien left town to get away from all the Paterno acolytes. I don't blame him.

Face it, our MBB gig is = Temple football

That's where I'm at with this. We gave him his shot when no one else did and then when he had offers to go elsewhere we offered to double his salary.

He could have built his own program here rather than run off to an already established program.

 

[Mister Magoo]

It’s times like this where we need a calm voice like GLOV. RIP Buddy

AD now needs to earn his money with a new coach to be hired. I have no clue

 

[91Joe95]

Too bad the AD didn't have a better balance sheet so they could off more. Time to address that fundraising.

It/he has the money.

Sure he did. He was (is) an a$$.

 

[91Joe95]

I wouldn't be surprised if PSU went to its upper limit, and if they didn't shame on them.

 

[GrimReaper]

I agree. But seven years is a lot and I'm not sure that I'd do it (depending on the dollars, of course).

 

[mr.michigan]

I know basketball at Penn State isn't a huge priority but Notre Dame doesn't seem like a much better job

 

[fairgambit]

The man did what was best for himself and his family. Despite the criticism, I would expect almost everyone here to do the same. I hold no animus. Take the high ground and move on.

 

[rudedude]

Been hearing Fisher on current staff or taking a run at Matt Langel at Colgate for coaches.

Loyalty and appreciation are antiquated concepts today. And that doesn't just apply to sports.

 

[rudedude]

How much of the new contract will Shrews tithe to Jalen Pickett? Seems to me Jalen earned sone of that contract.
