Penn State head coach Bill O'Brien confirmed today that defensive line coach and star recruiter Larry Johnson, Sr. will remain on the staff in his current role. The announcement came at O'Brien's introductory press conference at the Nittany Lion Inn on campus. Johnson was spotted in the media...

Penn State Position Previews 2011: Coaching Staff

What, you thought we'd skip the guys actually calling the plays? As always, ten coaches, five of which graduated from Penn State, will roam the sidelines or watch from high above the field in the coaches box in 2011. Thanks to Wikipedia, accepted legal source of the Southern District of New York...

Penn State Takes Bold Moves In Recruiting

As all of you are aware by now, Penn State landed verbal commitments from defensive tackles Derek Dowrey and Austin Johnson. Normally this would be a cause for celebration, but instead their commitments sparked a major debate that has been raging in the blogs and the message board for days. Here...

Penn State's Reason For Hope #4 - Larry Johnson Sr.

I can remember a few years ago looking ahead to 2009 and thinking Penn State was going to be absolutely loaded on the defensive line. But a funny thing happened between then and now. Phil Taylor and Chris Baker were dismissed from the team. Maurice Evans and Aaron Maybin decided to go pro early....

Announcing: "We Are Penn State" Preseason Magazine

So I've been trying to keep this under wraps to surprise you all ninja-style, but there have been a few leaks here and there. If it seems like I've been preoccupied and not posting as much the past few months, it's because I've been busy as the editor of We Are Penn State, a 2009 Penn State...

Recruiting Skills, Play Calling Skills, Bow Hunting Skills

I remain baffled by what happened at Boston College over the past two weeks. I think I understand the point, that BC and their AD demand loyalty, but have they ever read the sports section of a newspaper? Besides the inter-school shuffle, when you hire a talented coach to lead your college...

Ron Zook Pursuing Larry Johnson

They say wearing Orange adds ten pounds. Just sayin'. The rumor has been floating around all morning. I've just been waiting for a non-paying site to publish it. David Jones, as always, is our man. Larry Johnson is interviewing with Ron Zook for the Illinois defensive coordinator job. Two...

Nitt Picks Returns Briefly

It's hard to find time to put these together during the season, but today there's enough interesting editorials out there I felt one was warranted. As RUTS so eloquently pointed out, Joe's contract status got put on the back burner as the team jumped out to a 6-0 start. But his recent health...

Nitt Picks Thought We Covered This

I thought this was old news so I didn't jump on it, but the Altoona Mirror ran an article this past weekend mentioning recruits were being told that Joe's successor will come from in-house. Joe Paterno either knows something no one at Penn State will confirm, or he does not know the old adage...
