If we can't get Glanville, Ver Steeg looks like a great option.

I would agree. I suspect that the major boosters are the highest donors.

Who else is going to the On Deck tonight?
1080 The Fan is going to cover the PSU press conference at 3:30pm today. Pretty cool that they are going to air it.

Here is the Associated Press story, as posted on ESPN's Web site:
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Former NFL coach Jerry Glanville, who has been defensive coordinator at Hawaii for the past two seasons, was named head coach at Portland State on Wednesday.
Glanville, 65, replaces Tim Walsh, who on Feb. 16 resigned after 14 years with the Division I-AA Vikings to take over as offensive coordinator for Army. A news conference was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.
"He brings spark. He brings with him some star power. That's pretty obvious," Portland State assistant athletic director Mike Lund told The Associated Press. "I'm not saying that's why he exclusively got the job. Obviously he can coach, too. But in our situation that was pretty valuable."
Glanville, who developed the so-called "Gritz Blitz" defense, was head coach of the Houston Oilers from 1986-89 and the Atlanta Falcons from 1990-93.
After head coaching stints at Georgia Tech and Western Kentucky, Glanville embarked on a pro career as a special teams coach and defensive assistant with the Detroit Lions.
He became defensive backs coach for the Falcons in 1977 and later served as defensive coordinator. In 1984, he joined the Oilers as defensive coordinator and two seasons later became head coach.
He returned to the Falcons as head coach in 1990. He was eventually replaced by June Jones -- later head coach at Hawaii.
He put his coaching career aside for the next 11 years and worked in television, with such shows as "NFL Today" on CBS and "Inside the NFL" on HBO, as well as a five-year run on FOX.
Glanville joined Jones' staff at Hawaii in 2005.
He is expected to name former Portland State head coach Mouse Davis as his offensive coordinator.
Walsh went 90-68 at Portland State, including 7-4 last season. He led the Vikings to three straight playoff appearances at the Division II level before they moved up to Division I-AA and the Big Sky Conference in 1996.
