They probably said that about his brother, too.
His brother also became head coach younger than Junior is now. If was to be a HC he should have tried that years ago.
I’m assuming his mom still lives in Indiana?

My hunch is he wanted to be a head coach he'd have done it already. He's no spring chicken. Frank Jr. and Curt are very, very different people. Curt is a CEO type. Frank Jr. is more a staff guy and players' coach.
You never know, I suppose, but, I'd be completely shocked. To be honest, I don't think he'd want the hassle at this point, either. Career assistants like to coach -- not deal with all the other b.s.

Correct, you just never know. I have a good memory, though. And I remember all of the skepticism when Curt came back. Frankly (no pun intended), the skepticism was overwhelming. You can probably still find that commentary back in the annals of this board.
I'm certainly not looking ahead at all of the possible contingencies, however, I think it's a positive situation for the coaching staff. I'm bullish on IUP football.

I don't think there is an existing line of succession here but it's going to be on people's minds. I also don't think there should be a lot of pressure on him to take the offense to the stars or anything I just think it will be fun to see what he can do.

Like I said, I'm not making projections. But a lot of the same thinking surfaced when Curt came back. It was "Oh, if he was cut out to be HC he would have been already" and "There is a reason he's a career assistant" and " That guy just doesn't have the right personality to be HC", etc. Now he's the reigning college football COY and making $9 million a year or something like that.
