I’m hearing so many different things Ryan, that we don’t have enough money to be competitive, or we are going for a top-5 class. You got any intel on that?

If this happens, I would hope we make a run at a big dog, like Nick Eason, LaAllen Clark, or maybe a Lou Esposito. I think this still has implications if Lynn decides to leave. Makes me nervous that Penn State hasn’t hired anyone yet, like they’re waiting until after our bowl game.

Ok with the Texas DC becoming available (did not see that coming) I think I can be talked into that. I would add my non-negotiable keepers is Henny, Belk, Reed, maybe Nua. I like coach Nua a lot but Edge development hasn’t been the greatest. I’m ok with the DC being in his own edge and linebacker guys, especially with that production Texas has had. I would really hate for this to kill momentum right now for the program.

Complicated feelings here man. I love the defensive staff we’ve put together, and worry bringing in an outside DC, they’ll want their guys. I think promoting a Belk or Henderson to the position, and bringing on a Coach O or someone. Hard to think about.

I just want this saga to be over before January 2nd, so we know who our coordinator is and we don’t lose out on some transfer portal talent.

Can’t wait to watch Ryan. You the man appreciate everything you do for USC football.
