Wilson was OC in name-only. Ryan Day has and continues to call plays at Ohio State and did so throughout Wilson's entire tenure. Expected Tom Allen to only go for a strong, hands on approach with what he decided on next. After all, he has the $. All he needed was his dream situation. Penn St D makes great sense. Good for him. And the $ as DC will be as Cousin Eddie said in Christmas Vacation, "something real nice."

Agreed....except I do think Franklin may find himself on the hot seat soon. While he has been a victim of a similar fate as IU; being stuck in the East division, he was able to win the division/conference in his 3rd year, but has struggled to attain that level of play since. And I am going out on a limb to say PSU fans are little more impatient than IU fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do get a bit of relief with not having to play both osu and Michigan the next 4 years. It actually pisses me off because IU still plays both of them next year and in 26.

ragdoll Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 As a final send off to 2023, Tom Allen contract at PSU is 3 years, starting at $1.5M first year it is reported. What a year for Tom Allen, just had to lose plenty to win. All he needed to cap it was great legal and accounting. Anyone know that song "Act Naturally" by Buck Owens and the Buckaroos? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
