It's going to be a long night on offense unless the offensive line grew up since November. Defensively, I like how M matches up with KSU. Offense just can't give up short fields.
I'm a little disappointed at the lack of commitment from O'Brien. In his case he came into a situation with a program on life support and just when it stabilized some he's bailing out.

I'm just old fashioned. I think when you sign a contract it should mean something. I don't agree with buyout clauses to allow people to cut and run. Petrino in particular comes to mind. It's the old involved versus committed deal.

I think it should be both difficult and costly to break a contract and move on.
And I'd even add in "retiring" for a year or two, then signing on with another team. If you "retire", then sign with another team during the time that you were originally signed for, it should cost both parties some money.
And it's his job to turn it around! Not bail on the kids he recruited!
You're preaching to the choir with me, Tony. I agree completely. O'Brien talked a big game for 2 years, now he's bailing on those kids he recruited so he can have a bigger/better deal in the NFL. Its not right, nor is it fair to those kids.

I agree and would add the NCAA or what ever org takes charge, should level sanction on the individual that stick with them. You screw up at your former post, then it comes to light when you are at the new gig, well you get some smack laid on you there. It should be about personal accountability

With the sanctions being lessened, PSU is headed for mediocrity for a few years instead of suckitude. [obviously] Their next head coach will have a good bit of influence on their trajectory.
