That’s way overboard on how kids will be recruited.

I think Salima gives instant credibility to those on VT. I do not know if that necessarily holds true for high school girls. Other posters have posted that Salima will get her pick of the top players from Chicago's Catholic High Schools. Do others feel that way? Is Salima Catholic? If HS kids don’t know Salima, their coaches do. And in almost 20+ Years of being around/involved/observing college Volleyball, I don’t know that I’ve ever heard one negative word about Salima from anyone with any credibility. National team player, world champion, national champion as a player, 5 championships as a coach, the list goes on. I’m sure she can offer some pretty instant credibility. I agree. However, somehow, she's not the new Penn State Head Coach. All this talk about Penn State not being wiling to pay enough to hire Salima raises the question of why not? The answer is that Russ's retirement wasn't a natural thing, but came about because of issues surrounding his management of the program, and more specifically, issues that pre-dated Salima's departure from the program. |

I don’t know about that, and can’t speak to its accuracy at all, but my guy says no. I always heard whispers that PSU was an underfunded program relative to its stature in the game. This kind of goes to that. Don’t forget they are still keeping Russ around as a consultant. Could there be things they didn’t like, sure, but I’m pretty sure this has nothing to do with not wanting Salima, although I could be convinced that if they thought they could get Fisher they may have preferred him simply because he’s proven what he can do at another in state school. Not only do they get a top tier hire, but they weaken another local competitor (not B1G, but they are a local big name competitor). |

Uh, Notre Dame is absolutely on the conservative end of Catholic universities in America.

If there was any wrong doing at all that wouldn’t of happened. |

I mean, Rose's management of the program produced seven national titles since 1999 and the best team ever. He was doing something right. |

That’s one heck of an accusation.. Not really if you've ever had a candid conversation with Russ. Some of his conversation about players is pretty atrocious. But like with many successful coaches, tremendous success breeds a sense of arrogance and invincibility, but nevertheless, eventually it catches up to them. |

Salima is not at psu because ND paid way way more, as well as she doesn’t have to deal with following RR or having to deal with the BIG it had absolutely nothing to do with how RR managed psu for the last 43 years.

They kept rose on in some capacity, that alone checks out to me. Seems logical to me |

Seems logical to me. Either make a claim that something happened or don’t, but don’t point at Paterno and claim that’s proof that Russ AND Salima have done something wrong that no one has ever come forward about. |
