About this episode

The episode discusses the announcement of Matt Campbell as Penn State's new coach and the implications of this hiring.

Hark, we have a coach! Today's episode is a recording of the live episode we did on did earlier in the day on Friday, after the news came out that Penn State was finalizing a deal with now-former Iowa State coach Matt Campbell (this should explain why the first 20 seconds or so are so weird). Since then, Penn State has gone on to announce Campbell as its new coach. And on today's show, Bill and Nick discuss targeting Campbell, his fit in Happy Valley, the process that led to his hiring, and what we can learn from the leaked audio of a meeting between Pat Kraft and a collection of Penn State players that leaked earlier in the day on Friday.
