Bigbrog Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I would think OSU would be a sought-after place to coach and would attract a lot of attention, but probably goes without saying that John will have a lot of say in the matter of who replaces him...seems to have earned that at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think their attendance prob up there top 5 or around 5th, they sell out Iowa and Penn State (PSU rarely been there), but yeah everyone else its not half full, but they have more capacity than most.

TexRef Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Who from outside the program, would even be willing to take that job, right after John Smith? Sure it seems like a great place to coach, has a lot of history, money doesn't seem to be an issue, no problem landing blue chip kids, and their attendance is not as bad as someone mentioned. But after 1 season and no team trophy, and they would be looking for a replacement. I went to Boise State dual in Stillwater back when J.O. was #1 & Hochstrasser was #2 at 133. It was a great dual and about 3/4 capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop could pull a Tom/Cael double team and win it first year, would've worked a couple years ago, prob work at some point in the future. That said, AJ did temporarily blow up the team.

Expand I think what Hammerlock3 meant by "dry program" is that Pop doesn't allow drinking by his athletes. He runs a tight ship and it is not for everyone, but it seems to be working well in Raleigh.
