In happier news, I was right about the Lake hire.

Fucking dreckfest.

Hey it’s ok guys I’m hearing from a very reliable source that Donovan was a top 3 candidate.

That’s actually worse news if true.

I can handle a rookie coach striking out in his top options and having to settle.

But not being able to identify good options in the first place is a much bigger issue.

It’s been pointed out but Saquon wasn’t the difference between Donovan and Moorhead in 2015 and 2016.

Saquon was only a frosh in 2015 but he was still Saquon. 182 carries for 1076 yards at 5.9 a pop. Only got 1 carry for 1 yard in their season opening loss to Temple but they figured out what they had in the next two games when he went 12/115 and 21/195.

Really no excuse to be ranked outside the top 100 in nearly every offensive category at Penn frickn State with Saquon Barkley at RB. That’s how you go 7-6 with a defense ranked in the top ten nationally at just 4.5 yards per play allowed.

And that’s why nobody hired him and he ended up as a random assistant, not even a position coach, with one of the worst franchises in the NFL.

He must have had a helluva pitch to Jimmy. Because the hire makes zero sense on its face.

Agent and search committee bullshit. Convince me otherwise. This guy has been a bum. I would be underwhelmed with him as the new TE coach. He’s the new OC.

"It’s been pointed out but Saquon wasn’t the difference between Donovan and Moorhead in 2015 and 2016."

Not just Saquon - who added 400 yards to his freshman rushing total - but also Trace McSorely, who in 2016 emerged as the starter, broke the PSU single-season passing record, and wound up on Heisman ballots along with Lamar Jackson. I've read here that his predecessor, Hackenberg, "couldn't throw a football." That seems like a stretch for an NFL draftee, but I'd agree that McSorely was an obvious upgrade.
