Semi OT - PSU fires Yurcich
SIAP
PSU fans have had enough

That was penn state's sixth offensive coordinator in franklin's ten years as head coach.
Seems like the school is firing the wrong coach.
November 12th, 2023 at 2:55 PM ^
If you hire one OC and he sucks, that's probably on him. If every OC you hire sucks, that's probably on you.

I thought the throwback to Allar and the Allar runs were good play calls. The one RB was pretty good, so dishing to him was good. Allar just can’t throw under pressure. I mean he threw it to absolutely no one multiple times. Plus Frames bonehead calls lost the game.
November 12th, 2023 at 2:54 PM ^
So instead of throwing Allar under the bus, he threw the OC under the bus. Hey Frames, if you want to figure out what the problem is, just look in the mirror.
November 12th, 2023 at 4:13 PM ^
I thought he sort of threw Allar under the bus, too, in the post-game interview.

That is treating the symptom, not the disease. Which is good news for us!
November 12th, 2023 at 3:05 PM ^
Isn't Frames the one who said something along the line the judges his assistants on how good looking is their wife. Perhaps, Mrs. Yurcich had a set back in the looks department.

Moore with his first of many scalps in his career.
November 12th, 2023 at 3:17 PM ^
tbh, smart move - self preservation.
PSU would be dumb to fire Franklin; the odds of finding someone better I think are quite low. See: Nebraska.

Kansas coach seems like he’d be a good fit.
November 12th, 2023 at 3:35 PM ^
This wasn't because of the fans. This is Frames trying to save his own ass after whining the reason he lost was because of signs being stolen before the first quarter was completed and then losing to a substitute head coach when Harbaugh was suspended on the plane ride to the game. He is out of excuses for his permanent residency in third place.
Third Place and Third Base.
Third Base is next to fire a coordinator after likewise being out of excuses for getting whupped.
November 12th, 2023 at 4:25 PM ^
Our top opponents:
Third Place and Third Base.
I love it.

From what I saw, PSU fans were unhappy (well, with a lot of things) with the game plan and lack of passing. They thought that what they saw against Maryland was the real PSU offense.
I also wanted Alar to pass more. I was very happy when he dropped back to pass. I can't believe they wanted more of that and thought the problem there wasn't enough of it.
November 12th, 2023 at 4:26 PM ^
They thought that what they saw against Maryland was the real PSU offense.
It was.
But what they didn't see was the real Michigan defense.
November 12th, 2023 at 3:39 PM ^
Moorhead was the only good DC he's had, and he left and then flamed out at Miss St as a HC.
The lack of good WRs like Dotson has hurt them. They could use a Morgan type guy, who's only our 3rd WR.
I also think their OL was overrated and the transfer LT isn't as great as everyone made him out to be.
Frames does what Frames does - his O is the definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over again (firing OCs) but expecting a different result.
4 and 16 keep it up!
November 12th, 2023 at 3:41 PM ^
Moorehead flaming out as a HC is not really a ding on him. Not every good coordinator can be a head coach. Some guys should just stick to what they're good at.
It's the same thing in business. Star performer of X gets promoted to manager of X and sucks. Two different skillsets.
November 12th, 2023 at 10:09 PM ^
Moorhead might be on his way out at Akron (staring down a second 2-10 season). I wonder if a reunion as PSU's OC is in the offing?
November 12th, 2023 at 3:47 PM ^
Our OC is better than your OC. Actually, our OC is better than your HC.
November 12th, 2023 at 4:05 PM ^
Can he steal signs?
November 12th, 2023 at 4:12 PM ^
Frames is the equivalent of Zapp Brannigan blaming hai subordinates for everything

Looks like the Penn St. mob needed a victim to blame for their offensive problems.
November 12th, 2023 at 6:00 PM ^
Wow that was quick. Yurcich must not be his son.
November 12th, 2023 at 6:31 PM ^
So, was thinking during yesterday’s game that Manny Diaz might actually be a good hire for MSU. Solid defensive coach, prev HC experience. Don’t know much of him and whether there is any dirt on him, but seems like a pretty good dude.
Would be rough for PSU if he split and Frames had to rebuild both sides of the ball.
November 12th, 2023 at 9:53 PM ^
Diaz seems like a perennial DC. He was not great at Miami. Maybe it was a bad situation just given his roots in the area - his dad was Mayor. But he might just like being a really good DC. Can easily make a couple of mill. None of the politics.

I don't blame Penn State. That was kind of a wet fart of a game called by their OC.
