PSU alumni and boosters are pissed about that, but I think it's the right way to go. The only way to start improving your reputation is to wash your hands completely of the the old regime. If they just hire another PSU inside guy than the national opinion of you will stay the same.

what did they expect? nobody really wants that job right now. it's not like they were gonna get nick saban or urban meyer
Right now the things that PSU alums are saying remind me of what Michigan alums said about Rich Rod when he got hired.....and we all know how that turned out. The guy's got an uphill battle.

No matter who it would be, it would be an uphill battle. I think its the right move getting a non PSU guy.
No doubt. But I think the administration dropped the ball by keeping the players and coaches out of the loop after they promised to be more transparent in the wake of the scandal. The dude's going to have to hire a hell of a coaching staff to get recruits to play there.
It was lame going in. There was almost zero interest in a rematch "nat'l championship". Not surprised it was a lame game. Something needs to happen with College Football. This was the worst season I can remember.

There will be some adjustment to the BCS system soon, thankfully. There were predictions that this would be the lowest-rated BCS title game ever. But conference realignment/expansion and the inability of the NCAA to prevent cheating and scandal and the issue of whether or not to pay players are much bigger problems that won't be solved as easily.
NCAA president supports 4-team football playoff By MICHAEL MAROT, AP Sports Writer 11 hours, 27 minutes ago
INDIANAPOLIS (AP)—NCAA President Mark Emmert would support a four-team playoff in college football—as long as the field doesn’t grow.
After giving his annual state of the association speech Thursday in Indianapolis, Emmert acknowledged he would back a small playoff if that’s what Bowl Championship Series officials decide to adopt.
“The notion of having a Final Four approach is probably a sound one,” Emmert said when asked what he heard coming out of New Orleans this week. “Moving toward a 16-team playoff is highly problematic because I think that’s too much to ask a young man’s body to do. It’s too many games, it intrudes into the school year and, of course, it would probably necessitate a complete end to the bowl system that so many people like now.”
Emmert spoke two days after the 11 Bowl Championship Series conferences met to discuss possible changes to the system starting in 2014, but there is no consensus yet.
BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock said Tuesday that 50-60 possibilities for various changes were presented during a deliberate meeting in New Orleans, where Alabama beat LSU in the BCS title game Monday night. Hancock anticipates it will take another five to seven meetings to reach a conclusion in July.
One possibility is the four-team playoff, or the so-called plus-one approach, that would create two national semifinals and a championship game played one week later. The original proposal, made in 2008 by the commissioners of the Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference, was emphatically shot down by the leaders of the Big Ten, Pac-10, Big East, Big 12 and Notre Dame.
The BCS title game pits the nation’s top two teams based on poll and computer rankings.
But momentum is clearly growing for a larger playoff system.
Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany acknowledged this week that he would now consider the prospect of a four-team field.
“Four years ago, five of us didn’t want to have the conversation,” Delany told reporters earlier this week. “Now we all want to have the conversation.”
Then on Thursday, the BCS picked up another major endorsement for a potential playoff.
Emmert has long said he expected changes to the BCS system and has repeatedly offered to help the BCS debate if they want it. The NCAA licenses bowl games, but does not run them. It also has no direct authority over the BCS system.
But a small, four-team tournament could be the perfect remedy for what many still consider a flawed system.
“I see a lot of ways that a Final Four model could be successful,” Emmert said.

I'm a much bigger fan of college football than I am the NFL but I'm almost always disappointed with the national championship game. The BCS sucks.
