He'd be smart not to go to Penn State. As everyone else said, why would you walk away from one mess you just cleaned up into another one? And to the guy saying Penn State just wants someone consistent and doesn't care about wins/losses…you clearly have never been to Pennsylvania. PSU fans think they're just as good as OSU and Michigan and expect national contenders every year, just like here. Just because that doesn't match reality doesn't mean that is the expectation the fans/boosters set on the AD and coaching staff. Just like Golden, O'Brien is getting credit for dealing with the mess…for now. Once the mess is cleared up, like here, its same expectations, fans won't care that you were under investigation and couldn't recruit well for 3 years. It's not a good spot to be in right now, and I think they'd be better off picking up an up-and-comer like the ball state guy anyways.
