Speculate who could be Penn St's next coach if O'Brien is lured away

Submitted by Bo Knows on

Slow day on the board so why not?  Could be amoot discussion, but a fun one nonetheless.  I'd be rooting hard for a Tom Bradley comeback.  He'd be a good representative for the university, but him being there during the Sandusky days would be a hindrance.  What about Munchak if he gets fired?

Genuine answer? Some very young guy with nothing to lose and a chance to make a name for himself if he keeps them relevant during their nuke years. Well, that or an old coach (possibly an alum) with absolutely nothing to lose and not looking to gain anything. I say this because no coach in their right mind and in the "make or break" prime of coaching career takes that job. It will be a relative no name with nothing to lose if they only win a couple games a year for half a decade+. So, to name a single guy would be tough as SO MANY fit said criteria. That said, I don't think BO'B (lol) leaves. I think he'll stick around and wants to be a long term guy there. If he can steer them through the wasteland they are in with the kind of seasons he had this year (or better) he will be beloved at PSU. He'd never have a hot seat, IMO. We cannot underestimate the hole they are in and how much deeper it is about to become. If he keeps them relevant he is a lifer and will be treated and paid as a top tier coach.

A great fit for Penn State would be K.C. Keeler, coach of the University of Delaware. 

Keeler has already recruited the same surrounding areas Penn State targets, is a proven winner at the FCS level, and  is from Pennsylvania originally.

you people are just being silly now, I refuse to comment or make any silly suggestions until you people start taking these posts seriously. But for now, may I recommend someone of high integrity/esteem with real coaching prowess, so with no further delay may I suggest Martha Stewart, she could really cook up somethin good.
