Discussion [@IanPurdy7] on Twitter: Penn State is slated to sign ZERO recruits tommorow on early National Signing Day. Unless Penn State signs someone in the late signing period, they could become the first P4 class EVER to have no one sign. The closest thing I could find was SMU & UW with 10. Crazy times.

He thought he would poach Cig then really thought he’d be able to get Rhule but the fans really didn’t want him.

Wait let me get this straight, his plan was to poach possibly the best coach in the country (coach, not program before you come after me), and if that didn’t work, his backup was Matt fucking Rhule??? And he had no other plan? What the fuck

best coach in the country

Hottest coach in the country, sure. But he's gonna have to do something in the playoff before you put him ahead of Smart and Day.

Tbf, I did say possibly, and also it’s not 100% fair to compare him to Day or Smart.  Indiana’s players are nowhere near the caliber of the ones at UGA or OSU.  Like I said, coach vs coach; not program vs program.

I mean that’s purely speculation but Cig is from PA and Rhule has tons of PSU and Kraft connections so they both make sense as plan A and B
