More Rhoads Speculation

**cyclonestunners** · 12-15-2011, 02:05 AM

I'm not afraid of Rhoads to Pitt... that's a laterla move at best. What about this speculation though. Rhoads to Penn State? Let's get the fear rumor mill started.

To be honest, this one would scare me a little because 1) he's a great guy, who better to wash away the scars of the scandal then Paul Rhoads? and 2) Even a guy who loves his ISU with his heart and soul probably couldn't turn down a chance to coach at Happy Valley. On the bright side... Who would have ever thought that you'd even have to worry about losing a head coach and assistant to top tier schools?

Do people just love the thought of depression?

Honestly, Pitt might be a better job right now than Penn State.

Is anyone concerned about Rhoads accepting the Republican nomination via winning the Iowa caucus as a write-in?

Under Rhoads ISU will become a big-time program.

Rhoads knows ISU is on the ups. He knows he can get paid in the Big12. Hes building a name for himself and for ISU. He isn't going to carry on someone elses tradition, hes starting his own here.

This "rumor" (exact same article) was already posted and discussed here:

While I absolutely agree with this, I think that it is still important to understand that this in not a destination job.

This is like hawk bb, many mid major, or assistants, will take the million dollar payraise to take their shot and coach here.

I don't think that CPR is going anywhere for at least 3-4 years. But to think that golden opportunities like a Penn St come along every year is silly.

Yes the program is toxic right now, but it is a top ten job, and a place you can win national championships at. I am sure that is CPR's ultimate goal is to win a national championship. He would be foolish to not at least consider top jobs.

That being said, Pitt is not that job. But Penn St. is.

IMO, CPR's ultimate Dream would be to win a NC at ISU. IMO, we keep giving CPR more resources along with increases in pay then he stays. The Resources are probably even more important than his personal pay IMO. Take a hint from a guy like Hayden Fry and Earle Bruce. Fry stayed and Bruce left. Who was the guy who ended up regretting their decision?
