This cannot be good for the Fightin' Ricky Rahnes

[GrimReaper]

ODU OC Dave Patenaude announced his resignation on Friday, three weeks before the beginning of the season. Patenaude hadn't coached a game at ODU, being hired in January of this year to replace Kirk Campbell who was fired at the end of the 2021 season. Campbell followed Rahne from PSU where Campbell had spent three seasons as an offensive analyst.

Doesn't help his efforts in that opening match-up with the VaTech Prowling Pry's.

If this board has now lowered itself to discussing Old Dominion's offensive coordinator the season needs to start asap.

 

[BobPSU92]

This is obviously Franklin’s fault.

Strange. I can't find any chatter on the reason.
I was kind of liking ODU +7.5 too.

A Gundy is available

I didn't look too hard, but I noticed the same.

Certainly an unusual time to lose an OC.

 

[BW Lion]

John Donovan to the rescue. Mark it down

 

[ps_1294]

I think he wanted to use a fullback. Instant career ending decision in today‘s football.

YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE NOT A PENN STATER...

 

[Ceasar]

Given the timing I wonder if Rhane will take over OC duties.

 

[BW Lion]

Even the Monarch's Den is at a loss...

Patenaude resigned

I read something about shuffling duties amongst the staff, so that wouldn't be a surprise.

 

[step.eng69]

Patenaude resigned No, its not good because ultimately it was Rahnes decision to bring him on. I will say Rahne decides he made a bad decision, he is quick to change. I will say the people I asked tonight about it did not have good things to say about Patenaude. Rahne does not play around, rightly or wrongly.

Post: #14 RE: Patenaude resigned I do appreciate that Rahne is quick to right the course. Worst case it’s Rahne calling plays. He was good enough to call plays at Penn State, so we are in good hands.

What was our record with Rahne at OC?

Not nearly good enough. In other words, losses > 0.

Better than what we’ve had, that’s w/o looking

 

[psuro]

So, after Yurich leaves, we are looking as Patenaude to be PSU's next OC?

Nah, it will be someone from a team that hangs 40+ an 500+ yards on PSU.

That’s going to be a lot of resumes to wade through.

 

[GregPickel]

The timing of this is weird, for sure. I suspect former Lion Kevin Reihner might get tapped to be the new OC.

That will open up the possibility for a lot of OCs. And potentially a new DC for PSU.

That would be interesting, but isn't his total coaching experience rather limited to this point? I'd guess Rahne will take over the OC duties himself for this season, maybe then re-assess Reihner and look at other candidates. Someone's bound to be on the market after this season.

Yeah, but he called the plays in the Myrtle Beach Bowl.
