Someone who might be in play whose name has not been mentioned to my knowledge is Bill O'Brien at PS. He was just named Big 10 Coach of the Year, and if his #1 kicker had not left at the beginning of the season might have gone 10-2 in his 1st yr. He's going to have an uphill battle recruiting top talent for the next few years but the manner in which he faced such overwhelming adversity and rejuvenated a "gutted" team and fanbase is most commendable. I think the guy has tremendous potential. Any thoughts?
I think you're right, and that Bill O'Brien has done a heckuva job at PSU this year. Of all the things the kids on that team need though, it's not to have the rug jerked out from under them yet again. I know they're not Tennessee, and I know it's just a Big 10 team ... but it's also a bunch of 18-20 year old kids already getting punished for the acts of a horrible few (and they handled it admirably this year), and I'd hate to see them lose a coach now.
