Did Penn State commit program suicide?

[CHorn427]

It seems like PSU pulled a 2013 Mack Brown, but much more acrimoniously and in the NIL and transfer portal age. 
 

They have 2 recruits committed. HC candidates are turning them down. 
 

They need to pull a serious rabbit out of a hat. This seems like it could make them irrelevant for a bit.

Looks like it’s going to be their interim

I bet Franklin is laughing his ass of, counting his benjamins and now coaching at another school so quickly.

DeBoer really wants the job.  They have to wait for him to play the CCG.

If true Penn State should just wait and quit offering the job to Jags

I agree. The whole fiasco with BYU is a horrible look for PSU.

Why in the world would he do that to himself?

If so, he’s wasted a year of recruiting and will have to fill his roster via the portal. Doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Worst signing day for a major program I have ever seen ... and it's not even close 

Penn State fired James Franklin, and has now given Franklin a major head start on building VaTech quickly because he flipped/signed 6-7 Penn State level recruits that will now be in the ACC.

On top of them losing probably 7-10 guys in the draft, and then whoever portals out.... They're going to need to bring in a massive portal class if they want to field a competent team.

Or is this the “Saban to Texas” a la 2013?

Bama will need to lose the SECCG by 3 scores for the committee to even CONSIDER leaving them out in any scenario.
 

The only scenario Bama could even be left out is if BYU wins. And I don’t even think they would be left out then. The committee postured exactly the way they needed to keep Bama in no matter what. If BYU wins and Bama loses, Bama bumps to 10 and ND is out. That is exactly why they flipped ND and Bama.

The SEC #1 seed would not be left out due to a championship game outcome. The SEC would burn the CFB world to the ground.

If ND is excluded, literally who cares other than ND and their fans? ND has zero leverage. ND NEEDS the conferences more than anyone needs ND (which is not at all).
