Lame that they just name an interim coach instead of sacking up and making a hire.
Practice has already started. No head coach is going to leave his present gig at this point. The right choice is to conduct a full search in the spring. I hope Ferry does well and puts himself in the running, which would mean that we have a pretty good season.
Ferry is probably a better X-and-O guy than Chambers. I'm not sure he's the motivator and recruiter that Chambers is, but Ferry is well-respected in the profession. Duquesne was a tough job, and Penn State is arguably the toughest job in P5 basketball, which is why "big name" coaches won't be standing 10 deep on Barbour's doorstep.
