Given there are three bananas already on staff I would guess some mangos are coming. Is this code for something? In the emoji age, should VT update its nomenclature to "eggplant"?

A Long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a VT poster named Mango who was very pro female anything, if I remember correctly. The term mango was then adopted to mean female and banana, well…

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) The staff listing is not accurate currently.

How abnormal is it for an internal hire/promotion to not retain the other assistant?

How abnormal is it for an internal hire/promotion to not retain the other assistant? Depends on how well they got along. Clearly by his tweet they must not of gotten along.

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 Please reread the part of my post you quoted and point to the part where I say Penn State cannot or does not successfully recruit. I, in fact, say the opposite. What I do say is that Penn State faces quite a few hurdles that, while not unique, are not nearly as common amongst the athletics programs it aspires to be like and hopefully be better than on the field/court/ice/mat/whatever.

Or, it could be as easy as they sat down and the new head coach said we need to re-align duties and I need someone with..... IMO every move doesn't have to mean friction and discord. Reasons I might want a new staff: 1. I'd rather assign the duties and recruit two assistants with the knowledge, skills and personality to fit the new plan. 2. I don't think the new coach, Rose or fans are thrilled about the last seven years. It's probably hard for the new head coach to shift the direction of the organization very much if two of the three staff are carry over. IMO.

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. What mess with the football program are you referring to?

I thought it was pretty clear, but the whole way the Paterno era came to an end with Sandusky and the indictments and the lawsuits and all that.
