Before the NCAA dropped a nuclear bomb on Penn State a day before the sanctions were announced I tweeted how people shouldn't feel sorry for Bill O'Brien because he knew exactly what he was getting into when he accepted the job.

For those of you who feel bad for Bill O'Brien, don't. Remember, he agreed to take this job.
After seeing him interviewed I absolutely love the guy.  He doesn't make excuses.  In fact, Bill O'Brien has accepted more accountability for his program than anyone else at the institution and O'Brien had nothing to do with why Penn State is being penalized. 

Regarding football I think Bill O'Brien is the perfect man for the job, a no bull, head down, go about your business head coach.  Penn State will reflect it's head coach this year: workmanlike, lunch pail team, that won't lay over for anyone.  Penn State will be a tough out this year.   Penn State will benefit from a soft early schedule, but will run out of fuel by seasons end.  However, the Nitts won't get blown out much this year if at all.

Prediction: 6-6
