Ok, people keep talking about what will happen to all the players, but what about the coaching staff? Suppose there's a scenario like this:
50 scholarships lost
5 year bowl banWhat are your thoughts on whether they'd stay on board. I mean, these are talented coaches with untarnished resumes. PSU would have to pay me a king's ransom to pick up the pieces. It would take 5 years to get back to square one, then it would take years more to rebuild. O'Brian and his staff could be spending much of the rest of their career on the hope that they eventually are able to get PSU back to a powerhouse. All for a tragedy they had NOTHING to do with.
Give me your thoughts.

I partly agree with you, but depending on how bad the sanctions are, I just don't know. I mean, how old is the guy? He may be thinking, "hey, I've got 10 years of coaching left in me". Well, it could take ten to get through this, then he's knocking on retirement. There's such thing as being loyal, but that's just unfair to ask of a guy.
I'll admire O'Brian a ton if he stays as coach, but I will not be casting any stones at him if he doesn't.

It's a bit late for any of them to bail honestly. O'Brien won't get a head coaching gig this close to the season and all staffs around the country are full for the most part. So I'm sure they are all talking to their agents about it, but they may not have many options right now. And if they somehow manage to get the team through this adversity with a winning record, it would look much better on the resume than walking away.

Alright, I agree with everything you wrote. So, I guess the real decision would come a year or two down the road. Jobs will open up, and it could get enticing. But yeah, it's not like there's going to be any jobs open for 2012 with camp right around the corner.

These sanctions could drive Penn State down to Indiana level for a decade. If I was a 42 year-old former offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots, I would be bailing on that sinking ship.
Check out my 2 deep of UM's base 4-3 under defense, let me know your thoughts. Last updated: 3/28/12

Will O'Brian Still Be Penn State's Coach?
