    People in Lafayette are pooping themselves... Rumors there are that Hudspeth will be getting called up to the majors (Miss St.).

    Not a lot of football experience on the search committee.

    Search committee named to fill Penn State football coaching vacancy - Philly.com

    November 29, 2011|By Jake Kaplan, Inquirer Staff Writer

    STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Penn State took the first step to finding its next head football coach Monday, naming a six-person search committee headed by acting athletic director David Joyner.
    The committee, which is set to meet this week, will identify potential candidates and eventually name the next head coach, according to a university news release. Joyner was chosen by university president Rodney Erickson to lead the group.
    The committee is composed of Linda Caldwell (Penn State's faculty athletics representative), Charmelle Green (associate athletic director and senior woman administrator), Ira Lubert (chairman and cofounder of Independence Capital Partners and Lubert Adler Partners), John Nichols (professor emeritus) and Russ Rose (women's volleyball coach).

    I was just coming on here to post this. I don't know a lot about Dan Mullen, other than he was on Meyer's staff at Florida.
    Generally, how is he thought of in the SEC?

    I think he is a good coach and will do well at a place where the competition week in and week out is no where near the level he has faced in the SEC. He has done a good job at bringing MSU back to a team you have to be on your toes when you play. Hard to ever be a major factor in MS though with 3 colleges MSU,OLE MISS,USM and Bama 80 miles away cherry picking alot of the top talent. JMO

    Tells you where Penn State is right now.

    A long long road back it will be.

    Not saying Mullen isn't a good head coach, but if someone told you a month ago that Penn State would be replacing Paterno with Mullen, you would laugh.

    They've already made some modest changes to the Penn State locker room. The sign that says "There is no "I" in team" now has the addition of "But there is me, mate, and meat".


    I know, I know, heartless....

    ....still.....
