Sean Snyder - CBS Sports

Agreed, if Sean wanted the HC job (and I don't think he does), he needed to go somewhere and be a defensive or offensive coordinator for a while.

really?

Really. If he was serious about head coaching then he should have found a way to do what every other head coach in this country has typically done and become an OC or DC for a few years to prove that he actually knows what he's doing and isn't just riding coattails. He hasn't done that so why should we believe that he's serious about taking over?

he was questioning your assumption that he doesn't want the job.

Lots of people want jobs they aren't qualified for

if I was Sean and was being groomed to be HCIW why the hell would I go anywhere else

Yep.  Sean is going to get the job.

It's Bill's to give to who he wants.  #familywood

[wetwillie]

will we be the first P5 program to let a coach successfully install their son as football coach?  I can't think of any where else it has happened.

[DKmode500]

Would have likely happened at PSU with Paterno and his son. But ya know, stuff happened.

[OK_Cat]

The idea that Sean should go coach somewhere else is pretty dumb IMO.  He's going to get the job, no reason to put on a charade that we really care about his coaching skill level.

We'll be good this year.  we were good last year.  our recruiting has been pretty good the past few seasons.  Invariably, we'll all start to hear more and more insider stories about how Bill wasn't even really coaching these last 2 seasons and it was basically all Sean behind the scenes running the show.  And enough people will convince themselves that this means Sean is a good enough coach and recruiter to inherit the program. 

this is how it's going to work/is working right now.

Well, yeah. There were those stories in 2012.

Do you guys not remember how terrible the last two years of Prince were despite the fact that he had an NFL caliber quarterback? Putting any rationale out there that he was fired for any other reason than completely sucking is ridiculous.

I don't disagree but the only major difference between 04-05 and 06-08 is that we traded a terrible offense for a terrible defense.
