Sources reporting Bill O'Brien to be named HC of the Houston Texans tomorrow, opening the door for our recently departed to show off his mad skillz at Penn State. Quite a resume to walk into that job with.

The Bucs make a surprising early move (they learned their lesson apparently) bringing Lovie Smith back. I was sort of hoping we would go after a more offensive-minded HC, considering the holes that need to be filled particularly at QB. Without a GM in place most likely until after the playoffs, I'd say the are going to wait before naming any further appointments, though rabid speculation has recently fired Cal coach Jeff Tedford as the OC and Leslie Frazier as the DC. That would be quite a coup to pull off indeed.

Lovie Smith is a disaster as a coach. Good Luck with him

The game has completely changed since he was effective. Look a the playoffs - Every team in is Offense-driven. It's not 2000 any more ~ his coaching style is passe and ill-effective in today's game.

Believe me, I wasn't jumping up and down like everyone else in this town was when he was announced. I'm hoping for the best and looking forward to next year optimistically. Definitely an improvement, but we need to see what other rabbits the Glazers pull out of their hats. I hate it that the GM is not even being talked about, considering his input should be vital in the direction of the franchise, but this is the game today - if you wait until after the playoffs to install a GM, there are no quality coaching prospects left, as they learned 2 years ago.

He isn't an improvement IMO

James Franklin from Vandy gets the Penn State job. Looks like Schiano's reputation and resume has finally caught up to him.
