They could probably find a lot of tail long before they can a head coach.

To show true character, PSU should suspend the program for a year. Will never happen, tho.

I think we ought to get behind all our Vol friends, and start a grass roots effort to get Fulmer hired.

Words like "end", "back", and "behind" just shouldn't be used in reference to PSU these days...just makes the mind go off-track....

What self-respecting, big-name hire would want this job right now, it's absolutely toxic, eeew. At best, they'll get someone from the MAC like a Frank *hiccup Solich or that guy that they put in place after they kicked JoePa out the door ;)

This is STILL Penn State we are talking about....yes, there is a great big cloud over the program, but the opportunity to coach at PSU has to have some draw to it.

The University almost HAS to go outside the program to hire a coach. That way, clean out, and begin the new era with a clean slate.

PSU is a cancer right now. No one wants to touch that place. Ante up the money.

Maybe a nice young 5 star blue-chip high school player will sign a letter of intent to coach at PSU.

PSU will find a new coach & begin anew. The new coach won't be a big-name hire, though. I agree that this job is still a pretty big draw.

Solich is a hero in Athens, Ohio after getting the schools first bowl win! Don't see him going to UnHappy Valley anytime soon. They may have to pull an old ND move and find a Gerry Faust out there in HS land. LOL

Solich is a hero at Ohio U. after winning the schools first bowl game in history. Not going to UnHappy Valley anytime soon.

PSU may have to go the old ND route and find a Gerry Faust out there in HS land!! :)

Most accurate comment of the day.

Why? What rational logic are you using for that suggestion? The real problem characters in this story, beyond Sandusky, are the athletic director, head of police, and the president. By your logic the entire athletic function should be shut down. Before you say "yes, it should," actually think about that, if indeed thinking is something you are capable of.

Sorry, quote didn't attach. I was commenting on the suggestion of shutting down the football program.

State College is not toxic. Neither is Penn State. The heinous acts of one former assistant coach does not impugn a university or a town. Those actions do not mean the entire football program should be scrapped. That's not fair to players or recruits and it certainly does nothing to show compassion for the victims of Jerry Sandusky.
