The core issue with Penn State right now is glaringly evident.

@JoshPateCFB It all starts with firing Pat Kraft today and if it refuses to be put off then Neeli should be on the hot seat next. Total malpractice.

@JoshPateCFB I’m done caring until the program, university, AD etc makes the requisite investment for us to be at the top where we belong. It’s one thing to make the investment, have the chance and come up short but they aren’t even giving us a chance. Goodluck with that new stadium next year

@JoshPateCFB I'll always support my school. But sometimes support is calling out what needs to change. The fans need to stay involved and engaged, because that's a huge part of what makes PSU so special. It's just gonna look a little different for the foreseeable future

@JoshPateCFB First step to getting our program back is getting rid of Kraft. That step can be taken today and immediately improve things.

@JoshPateCFB These have been winnable games. It’s bad coaching and bad execution.

@JoshPateCFB Josh Pate doesn’t know shit about Penn State. He’s just already trying to make excuses for why Matt Campbell will fail when he championed Matt Campbell to Penn state from day 1

@JoshPateCFB Tired excuses for CMC. These players beat Iowa the last two years. Wisc, NW, and USC aren’t exactly world beaters. Hell the Wisconsin rb was a former ISU player that CMC didn’t want. When are you going to stop making excuses for CMC? Cignetti did it with JMU guys (google him)

@JoshPateCFB The problem is Matt Campbell is an idiot. He put this roster together. He should’ve kept every penn state player and then used Iowa state players as a break glass backup

@JoshPateCFB But I thought he was a big time talent???

@JoshPateCFB The end of the video you posted completely contradicts what was said when Campbell was first hired. So which one is it?

@JoshPateCFB This is where Josh Pate performs a social management mechanism for the Elites who run this country. The core issue is that Penn State won't shake down enough undertaxed Millionaires and Billionaires to work this bullshit NIL system well enough to be a contender.

@JoshPateCFB The players aren’t good enough at all but the coaching staff doesn’t do us any favors at times either

@JoshPateCFB Watch the entire clip. Not really about the players

@JoshPateCFB I agree that this stems from the AD it’s 100% from the top down..they put all that money into the stadium but it’s not going to matter when the product they put out there isn’t filling seats

@JoshPateCFB Just curious if you guys will ever acknowledge that the hire came before the portal opened and less than a week after last season ended? There was never a world where any coach would leave a job in the middle of a season to start there so the 50+ days search thing is a farce.

@JoshPateCFB Pate is just making an excuse as to why he was wrong thinking Penn State would beat USC. Clearly, their talent level didn’t fall off the bluff in a week’s time. Brecht is in the top half of QBs in the BIG10.

@JoshPateCFB This Semi-Pro distinction is another bullshit social management mechanism all over sports media.. If you really want to be honest, maybe 3-8% of College Football players in any moment could fluidly be understood as Semi-Pro(subject to change). roughly 92%+ are overpaid amateurs.

@JoshPateCFB Cignetti didn’t seem to blink with his Cignetti’s dozen from James Madison. Winners win, Google it.

@JoshPateCFB Pate knows we’re about to have to buy out an AD, spend good on a new one, and then that new one has to come in and somehow relocate funds to alllllll the sports programs Kraft buried the past years… it’s gonna be a process and we should start it now

@JoshPateCFB Does society want to put 2 million dollars into infrastructure improving the general welfare of the country, the Common Good, incidentally the Common Good was the unifying value of the Constitution? Or do we want to put it in Becht who will never play a day of Pro Football?🤣Well

@JoshPateCFB Very depressing spot rn

@JoshPateCFB The problem is yourself and company had no information & held Kraft to no accountability into the job hunt/search whatsoever. What was the process? Who was actually interviewed/targeted? Why did some say no? Who said no? Who wasn’t actually targeted? Those are the questions.

@JoshPateCFB Have to spend more than others since recruits selling their soul to go to school there with the dark past

@JoshPateCFB the problem is CMC sucks. He is in over his head and is under performing. If you want more money you need to show youre worth the investment. Cignetti did. He went from what? 5 million NIL to over 30 million in 2 years? Results matter.

@JoshPateCFB So what was the excuse last year? They sucked then too

@JoshPateCFB They self destructed when they fired Franklin lmao dumbasses

@JoshPateCFB I think we care too much about what Pate says and thinks. The hire was never a good fit despite Pate pushing for it. A top 15 nil roster should be better than this, would love to be top 5 but that'll never happen and Cmc has said he doesn't want to build that way. More w less

@JoshPateCFB Play your young QB. Bench Becht. Gimmick QB, can’t throw unless a huge perfect window. Too many blocked passes.

@JoshPateCFB Real possibility to go 5-7

@JoshPateCFB Kraft’s philosophy has been “do more with less”. It didn’t work

@JoshPateCFB Definitely in game coaching cost us Wisky game but I agree with him. PSU is unwilling to put up the $ that OSU, Miami, ND, and even Indiana does to compile their roster. Unless and until that changes, we'll never be among the elite programs on a consistent basis

@JoshPateCFB Everything is ass lmao 😂

@JoshPateCFB The issue is they made a huge change and time is needed to rebuild the roster. Simple as

@JoshPateCFB

@JoshPateCFB I could see y’all heading to bye with one more loss (Michigan) then waking up & going on a run to finish 8-4 You should consider a new athletic director either way. As an outsider, his “leaked” speech reeked of entitlement; he *expected* to win big and had no plan when he didn’t

@JoshPateCFB I’m sorry - NIL is not the reason we got our doors blown off by northwestern. It’s a great excuse but not a valid one.

@JoshPateCFB Pate is just another talking head who likes attention.

@JoshPateCFB

@JoshPateCFB lol this revisionist history is hilarious. The players aren’t working out because defensively, they are playing a 4-3 vs the 3-3-5 that they played at Iowa State. Ta’Shawn James and Jontez Williams are in the B10, so why aren’t they struggling?
