Elko is about to be a top-5 paid coach (by A&M) imo
A lot of early Matt Rhule speculation for PSU. He played there. 

This makes the most sense. Nebraska is a recruiting wasteland.

Yeah.  I don’t know how a college football fan for any length of time doesn’t know this 

Unless he is a Zoomer.  In which case, go back to watching Real Housewives of Tacoma or Dancing With The Stars Season 73 or whatever it is y’all do. 

Go TikTok something. It a tube of Sprees and drink a Diet Coke. 

Overall point, which I guess I failed to get across is that penn st isn't anything special.

-Last Heisman winner was before I was born

-1 conference title in last 10 years with none on the horizon.

-Last claimed national title was during Reagan's presidency.

Source at Penn State: I have been told that Adidas drove the James Franklin firing and are why it happened today. They committed to pay most or all of the money. They also wanted a new coach before recent losses, but they made it hard for anyone at PSU to argue.

 

Wow, is that a first? Where the school’s licensing partner forced the change at head coach?

Bryan Kelly and Penn St are a match made in hell.

Thats sound like major bullshit to me. Whats in it for Adidas to pony up the majority of a $50M buyout? Its not like thats gonna help them sell $50M more shoes and merch.

Wouldn’t be surprised at all if Elko went to Penn State and A&M just promotes Klein to HC

I would be shocked beyond belief if that happened.

He’s not great but see what he can do with a better roster and recruiting. Saban would have a hard time winning up in Nebraska.

Rhule is an overrated dogshit coach.  I encourage him to leave for PSU. It will simultaneously gut corn fans and fuck over PSU fans. The rare win/win.

Whats your criteria to qualify as a blue blood?

I don't know if I've ever seen a consensus on what qualifies as one.

#368

College head coaches that have won more football games than James Franklin in the past 3.5 years: Kirby has 44 wins, Day has 41 wins, Lanning has 40, DeBoer has 39, Franklin has 37.

I thought the same until I Googled it. Apparently Adidas signed a big 10 yr, $300M agreement with Penn St which starts next year.

I guess they don't want their investment to shit the bed.

There is no consensus as far as I know.

For me it's all time wins, championships, undefeated seasons, conference championships (not necessarily for Penn State since they were independent for so long), bowl record, Heisman Trophy winners, and consensus all-Americans.

With the exception of Heisman Trophy winners (only one), Penn State qualifies in my mind. Others may disagree.

Adidas has ASSWATER for schools. Other than aggy, every other school sucks. Penn State is their BIG investment. 

Adidas is just another BMD. BMDs have been fucking over coaches for decades. Or in Mack's case, kept them around for much fucking longer than welcomed.

Forneilli thinks Franklin will have his pick of jobs. Specifically mentioned UF and LSU.

I just don’t see it. He has a very long history of being incapable of winning big games. Any school that hires Franklin is accepting they won’t a win a national championship.

Rumored to be worth $300M

https://gopsusports.com/news/2025/09/5/penn-state-adidas-partnership-2026

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State Athletics and adidas have announced a transformational, 10-year partnership that will see adidas become the official footwear, uniform, apparel and sideline partner of the Nittany Lions.

This groundbreaking apparel partnership unites the Nittany Lions’ storied legacy of 84 national championships and 327 conference championships with adidas’ industry-leading innovation and vision. The union creates a commitment to elevating the student-athlete experience, enhancing fan engagement and expanding the reach of the Penn State brand. The agreement is effective July 1, 2026.

“Penn State Athletics has been blessed with incredible partners throughout our history, but today, we step into a bold new era,” said Patrick Kraft, Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics at Penn State University. “From the field to the court, the mat to the pitch, this partnership goes far beyond uniforms, it is unlike anything else in the marketplace. adidas is making an unprecedented commitment to Penn State: delivering record investment in our department, groundbreaking NIL and marketing opportunities, and access to technology and innovation that no other program can match. This agreement sets a new industry standard, fueling championship performances, empowering our student-athletes to grow their personal brands, and creating unmatched platforms for them to shine on the national and global stage. Together, we’re building something that will transform what’s possible for Penn State Athletics and for every student-athlete who wears the Blue & White.”

I keep thinking this.  Psu won't take Rhule even with all the connections probably due to price and the lack of patience to win right away. Rhule likes money though he's yet to use it on wardrobe and proper razors. Elko just fits with quick turnaround potential. Priority he places on offense while being a defensive coach. Recruiting chops. And I don't THINK he will be so expensive that it won't be possible. 

I am gonna wish this into existence.

Um…. I’m pretty sure Gator fans aren’t really searching for a new coach who demonstrably can’t win big games and is viewed by the nation as an abject failure.  

I dunno…. just a wild guess.
