Class is falling apart. Looks like whom ever comes in better have lots of NIL $ at their disposal for the portal and an adept eye for talent.Troy Huhn, QB, Mission Hills HS.

Yep. If PSU gets a dynamic coach with a reputation and he has big NIL $$ that coach will be out poaching recruits down the finish line from other schools instead of how it has worked opposite that in recent years....It’s not like this wasn’t expected, why is everybody making such a big deal about it. Whoever the new coach is will either bring in a bunch of the recruits from the school that he was at or we’ll get on the phone and try to re-recruit all of these kids, actually he’ll do both.
And, unfortunately, it will continue to get longer. We will also begin to lose current kids to the portal if there isn’t a “ home run” hire. There really is no room for error. I love Terry Smith, as he was exceptional at what he did under Franklin , but he’s not the long term answer —Most coaches will consider this job radioactive, as the previous coach who just won 13 games ten months ago, got canned. Most don't need/want that stress. They will use it as an interview lever for a pay increase at their current school. —If the administration doesn’t hit a grand slam with this hire ( ie Kirby Smart type), we’ll be hemorrhaging athletes.
