The school fired the longtime head coach on Sunday, less than 24 hours after a 22-21 home loss to Northwestern all but ended whatever remote chance the preseason No. 2 team had of reaching the College Football Playoff.

Hail to Pitt!
Moore isn’t exactly a lock at UofM. He gets blown out at home to OSU(after getting stomped on the west coast twice)...his seat gonna get real hot too.
The QB position has killed him....never righted the ship at signal caller after being so comfortable with JJ McCarthy...
And yet Napier still has his job. I almost regret beating Texas now.
To the taxpayers of Pennsylvania - pay up.
I hope Jerry Sandusky is given serious consideration for the job. :-P
Naps will be in good (fired) company soon. Just a matter of if it’s in season or after the season.
All of PSU athletics are self-funded. Every team. Not a dime of tax payer dollars pays their coaches.
“In the 2023-2024 fiscal year, the athletic department reported $220.7 million in operating revenue and $215.1 million in expenses, resulting in a $5.6 million net profit. Both revenue and expenses were record highs for the department.”
Unlike those taxpayer money grubbers in the chemistry department
The whole “What have you one for us lately?” thing.
Thought they’d wait until after OSU.
They were on pace to get shut out by Iowa and Ohio State, then absolutely throttled by Indiana in the next three games.
LOL- okay....hire a guy that’s done next to nothing with a Big 10 opponent after failing miserably in the NFL....makes sense...
They think 3-3 is a disaster? The stupid Jets are 0-6, that’s a disaster. When is that guy getting fired?
Losing 3 games in a row is the worst thing a Penn State coach has ever done.
He should have covered up the abuse of children, he would have had a job for life./s
Who did that? You’re a media eating moron if you think Joe Paterno ever covered up anything.
“Losing 3 games in a row is the worst thing a Penn State coach has ever done.”
Jerry Sandusky said hold my beer.
