BroadwayVik said:Isn't Robin Pflugrad an offense coach? He'd be a great OC, but a DC? It may be best to hire a great defensive program's coach who's ready to move up to an FCS DC position. When you think of great defensive program, which university teams come to mind? Who's hot right now? Stanford, Oregon State, Bama, Georgia, ND
What PSU needs most right now is pass defense. Who's best there? In the West, it is Fresno State, Boise State, Arizona State, and ... Bowling Green have allowed fewest pass yards this season. Find the right pass defense DC from one of these programs, one who fits and is ready to move up.

That was my thought as well, that he's more of an offensive guy.
I think he'll need to take a coordinator position for a few years before he'll be hired as a D1 head coach. He's dragging around some heavy baggage at this point...
