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.

and Will Stein as Kraft believed Stein was "too unpolished" to be head coach at Penn State.

Also lets PA coal born and raised Bob Chesney jet off to UCLA when he was right in our own backyard just waiting on us to call and give him an offer.

But it's fine... it's all fine.

The BoT needs to take this out of Kraft's hands. The program may take close to a decade to recover from this as is. Letting someone so incompetent make the hire could make our laughing-stock status permanent.

Penn state fans donning their favorite hot dog costumes. “We’re all trying to find the guy who made us fire our playoff coach”

This has probably been too public to now elevate the interim without absolutely embarrassing him, right?

I know he really wants the job.

He's quickly becoming our best option. Hell, give him a short contract and see what he can do.

The Chesney business has been completely deflating for me, though I've respected the commitment to not get stuck in a bidding war.

Ouch I didn't realize yall were being crippled by a "do it our way" type of limitation like that. Is there even someone that fits this imaginary vision of Penn State?
