With multiple ties to the carney barker
How much to pay to remove "co" from his title?

He may be terrific. Hopefully he is. I was more intrigued by other options, but time will tell.

If we're taking a flyer I am glad it's on a minority coach, and not a Sunseri.

We could've done worse.  Hope it works out... This has been the theme since JP was fired, lol.

I'm just glad we didn't hire proven mediocrity.

Based on what I read Penn State fans hate to lose him...They say he's a excellent recruiter.

Be interesting to see if he coaches the secondary or hires someone else to do the day to day and be more of a defensive executive
I think we continue with ILB and OLB coaches
Brent seems to think that Martinez is still in play for a secondary coach

I also think one coach on the staff should concentrate on Special Teams - frankly, under Pruitt we SUCKED at ST play

My biggest "concern" is calling the defense, don't believe he has had the responsibility before
OTOH, the Last PSU DC we hired had a LOT of experience calling defenses and left a large smoking crater in the ground here on the Hill so who knows?

I saw that Martinez was his secondary coach when he played at CMU. I bet he brings him on the staff.

I'd listen to a lot of offers for $4.2 million over three years. Sadly, no one has pitched anything close to that yet.

I'm sure Bama, UGa and UF are scared to death of these hires. Remember those guys? The ones we need to beat before we are dead. At least us old farts.
