OT: D1

Terry Smith is exactly what Penn State doesn't realize they need. He's a Penn Stater, Paterno connected but not Sandusky tainted, and a tremendous recruiter. He's stable. Not going anywhere if he wins the big ones.

Exciting? No.
Proven P4 guy? Kinda.

The players and fans are really behind Smith. They need continuity through this. I think he has a good shot at it. Especially if he wants it. IUP24 is right. Smith doesn't have to be a long time hire. I think that works. They've already lost virtually their entire recruiting class. During the Nebraska game the announcer said they have lost 17 from the class.
