Him I know. Unfortunately, he's the only one on my list. 🤔 This 100% Why not give him a call? Could also pull him away from your main rival too?

Jag....enough dude. What a crock. What world do you live in? I mean really? Jag obviously lives in Rohan, in Middle Earth (where he apparently has access to the Big Ten Network and ESPN). His real name is GrÃma Wormtongue, and he is the chief counsellor at the court of King Théoden of Rohan, but is an agent and mole of the corrupted Wizard Saruman. A little known fact is that the real name of the Wizard Saruman is "John Cook." Source: lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Gr%C3%ADma_Wormtongue. For more information, see en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_(film_series). (Note: I initially had misinformation, and thought Jag's real name was Grey Worm, but that's a completely different character, from a completely different fantasy series, Game of Thrones. Apparently, when you get bombarded by someone's fantasy, like Jag's, it's difficult to keep things straight. Fortunately, I got the correct info eventually). I cannot pass up a great LOTR reference.....ever. sorry

He just got a nice bump and his fiancee just resigned from Northwestern to move to Lincoln, NE. I think the ship has sailed on that idea.

The only thing I know about Penn State besides their volleyball and the whole mess they had with their football program is that a bunch of people I work with studied there. They have one of the top (or maybe the very top) acoustical engineering programs in the country, and I work in the Noise, Vibration, and Emissions group at my company. I'd never heard (no pun intended) of the PSU NVH program. Interesting.

Something to keep in mind is that most people are vicariously comparing resumes. The thing to remember that most of the norms established by those resumes are thrown out the door because of:
COVID and all of is implications and the transient nature of the day to day operations.
NIL
Transfer portal.
Any kind of record for coaches established before 2019 really can not be considered a predictor, indeed if thay can be considered predictors at all, for what we are experiencing now.
There is and will be a lot of making sh_t up as we go along.

They made a hire, and they can't make another change for at least a couple more years, and even then, that's only if it's an outright disaster. Realistically, I think she will get 4-5 years to prove herself, at which point they may make a change if it isn't working.

All the kids in my high school that went into engineering went to Penn State, except one who went to Cal Tech, but that's similar, right? (his family was from California too). They all went on to excellent careers in Engineering or academia.

But, we're talking about athletics here, and the bottom line is that it's damn hard to convince big-time athletes to come to Penn State. We are a school that out punches our weight often, but not always. Jag....enough dude. What a crock. What world do you live in? I mean really? This is so wrong and we have evidence in almost every sport at Penn State to the contrary....since forever. In the NFL Penn State came in at 11th with 31 active players but if you were to narrow that down to starters or part time starters, bet a dollar PSU moves into the top 5. The level of athlete that the University has has and is attending PSU in Football, women's basketball, Men's wrestling, Women's Field Hockey Mens and Women's (Volleyball,lacrosse,soccer,gymnastics, fencing and Track and Field) has and continues to churn out All Americans, National Champions, Pros and Olympic athletes. Penn State Athletics was more than well represented on the podium in the past 2 Olympic summer Olympics. Penn State Athletics is and remains one of the top notch destinations for College Athletics. Little ole State College does just fine slick. Smh Yeah, I don’t get where he is coming from As their non rev sports perform pretty darn well.

Yeah, Penn State has been in the top 25 of every Director's Cup ranking (26 years total). They finished 13th in 2018-2019 (i.e. the last non-COVID year). And the standings for the fall just came out. Penn State checked in at fifth place, behind BYU, Notre Dame, Michigan and Wisconsin. They seem to be doing fine.

Given there are three bananas already on staff I would guess some mangos are coming.
And yes, I know those bananas aren't coaches. But good gender balance makes for better interpersonal environment. (people behave better, and yes, it cuts both ways)
