Clemson is not firing Steele and before the Orange Bowl he was a pretty good coach and an elite recruiter. Post Orange Bowl he's still those things. Thinking otherwise is shortsighted and just plain stupid. JMO

He was a very good recruiter and an average coach, but you can't ignore the Orange Bowl in our situation. You just can't. Our hire has to be encouraging to the fan base and recruits, and in that regard it's about the worst hire he could make. I'd much rather promote LT than hire the laughing stock of defensive coaches.

Has anyone considered DC Tom Bradley? I hear he is looking for a job?

Tom Bradley

In his 33rd season on the staff, Bradley has played a significant role in the success of the defense and recruiting efforts throughout his tenure. This season, the Penn State defense ranks in the Top 10 nationally in four of the primary statistical categories, including scoring, total and pass defense.

From 2004-09 Penn State finished in the Top 15 nationally in total and scoring defense every season. Since 2004, Penn State has held 61 of its 99 opponents to 17 points or less, including 10 in 2009 and eight this season (through Ohio State game).

Bradley developed four All-Americans in the secondary - Kim Herring, David Macklin, James Boyd and Alan Zemaitis. In addition to the defensive backs, Bradley has coached five other positions, including outside linebackers, defensive ends and wide receivers as well as coordinating the special teams.

Bradley also served as recruiting coordinator and has brought and coached numerous prep standouts to Penn State throughout his tenure. Shane Conlan, O.J. McDuffie, Michael Timpson, Terry Killens, Eric Ravotti, Kim Herring, LaVar Arrington, David Macklin, Brandon Short, Bryan Scott, Paul Posluszny, Alan Zemaitis, Justin King, Sean Lee and Stefen Wisniewski are among the standouts he has recruited or coached in Happy Valley.

Well if Green is hired from Navy, maybe he can bring in some EX Navy SEALS to train the defense and make them meaner and tougher.

I agree with you on the position coach or co DC with LT, but if we hire him as our DC and he has been fired from Clemson then you are talking about a PR nightmare and a VN meltdown

For this reason I would like to see the CO DC title. Not just for fans but for recruits as well. I can fully support KS as DC but most people don't realize that he is co dc at clemson so he is used to that title.

does it have anything to do with a navy guy fitting the sinking ship analogy?

I've tried to be positive through this situation, but hiring Buddy may be the clincher. At this point promoting Lance is the safest option.
