Sorry, Trace was a bit player in 2016 and 2017. His play (and Brent Pry) are what cost us the playoffs both years. The only time his play impacted a game either year was in losses. The fact of the matter is, Grant Haley was the only key player on those teams that was a Franklin recruit. The rest, including Barkley were O'Brien targets. If O'Brien hadn't targeted Barkley, he never would have been a Penn Stater because Franklin and his staff do not recruit his school because they don't produce enough prospects.
7 years ago today...Bill O’Brien announces he’s leaving PSU

Please find your way home, somewhere there’s a village missing their idiot.
Sad day for houston. Bob was a dbag. I guess you forget he hated you and could not wait to jump ship.
Mcsorley and Barkley were not even offered by obrien.

They’re too stupid to argue with. That would be like arguing with a flat earther...it’s not worth arguing with something so ridiculous.
You don't have to be a phony guy. You do have to get along with people you NEED to win. You need to get along with star players, coaches and a GM.
That douch could not even get along with Brady. Fired vanderlinden, trades his all pro wr, and got his gm fired.

Your constant insistence that Franklin “wouldn’t have recruited Saquon Barkley if O’Brien hadn’t recruited him first” is weird and massively incorrect for a bunch of reasons. Barkley was literally one of Franklin’s first recruiting calls when he was hired here, and he’s recruited several prospects from the Lehigh Valley that don’t typically produce D1 prospects. There is literally no evidence to support your bizarre argument that Franklin only recruits players from high schools that consistently produce talent. The overwhelming majority of players from Barkley’s recruiting class played at high schools where we haven’t even offered another prospect from. It’s just completely devoid of any logic or reason. And we haven’t even talked about your somehow even more bizarre argument that Trace McSorley, who was an all-conference quarterback in both seasons and is pulling down an NFL paycheck, was a “bit player.” It’s just insane.
Keep telling yourself that. Doesn't change the fact that Franklin's best recruits were almost all O'Brien targets and his best players almost across the board were either Paterno or O'Brien players.
You are very wrong...just because you don’t think you are in your own little delusional world doesn’t make you right.
Ok, calling McSorley a bit player destroys any possible credibility you might have had....he had more to do with our wins than he did our losses. He’s the winningest QB in PSU history....that’s not even close to a bit player. Also, Franklin recruited Barkley, not BOB....there’s no way you could have any idea if Barkley would have gone to PSU had BOB stayed, so your whistling in the wind with that argument. I’m not sure why you have this intense hatred for Franklin, but it’s distorting your views to the point of lunacy. If you have problems with Franklin, that’s fine but don’t start having unrealistic views about O’Brien just because you don’t like Franklin. Do you forget that last year (6 years later) Franklin finished in the top 10 and was 11-2....is that still because of O’Brien and Paterno’s awesome recruiting?
Unfortunately, he is.
Why do you have to insult village idiots like that?
You’re drunk, right? Trace had the two highest total offense seasons in school history those two seasons and you call him a bit player. And somehow you still claim Barkley as Bill’s recruit despite all the facts to the contrary. I’d put you on ignore but your stuff is too funny.
So O’Brien figured his ticket to NFL head coaching gig was taking over a program mired in controversy and scandal, rather than stay as Tom Brady’s OC with the Patriots? Great logic
Right, cause afterall it’s commonplace for trustees to name linebacker coaches and not the incoming head coach who may want to choose his own staff
Having worked hard and successfully to get the Houston GM fired and then assuming the role, it is hard to imagine any other GM in the NFL wanting to hire OB as head coach. He is a control freak and that side of him has been totally exposed. Be very interesting to see where he lands.
You are clueless. Obrien never even offered Barkley. Barkley and blacknall were Kyle floods recruits.
