UTenn fans are celebrating something fierce rit now.

That guys name has been super hot for the last couple of years and the best he gets is Penn State?

Nothing against PSU as a football program, but that place is in shambles to be considered a big time job, especially after the jab O'Brien gave the fans and admin.

Thinking one more year at Vandy would have opened up better options for him.

I think he's making a bad decision. Vanderbilt matched their offer and I think the move is lateral at best. Would YOU want to go from living in Belle Meade to Happy Valley? He should have stayed or pushed real hard for the NFL.

Absolutely this.

Another year at Vandy, Tom Coughlin retires...

This is a mistake.

I'd have personally stayed at Vandy.......the PSU job just isn't what it used to be.

Penn State has one of the five largest fan bases in college football and absolutely dominates recruiting in one of the better football states in America. They have a huge presence and ability to land top East Coast recruits. Calling it lateral to Vanderbilt is incredibly ignorant.

It's a second-tier job only clearly behind Texas, Alabama, USC, Ohio State, and Michigan. Its peer jobs are Florida, Florida State, Miami, Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma, and Notre Dame
