Bill O'Brien was named the Maxwell Club Collegiate Coach of the Year earlier today, his second national coaching honor with more potentially on the way.
Bill O'Brien is a finalist for the Bear Bryant Coach of the Year award along with Urban Meyer, Bill Snyder, David Shaw, Kevin Sumlin, and James Franklin.
With ten reduced scholarships for the next four recruiting classes, developing a successful walk-on program, or run-on as Bill O'Brien has affectionately named it, will be key going forward for Penn State. Yesterday, the Nittany Lions took a big step towards that goal as kicker/punter Chris Gulla, quarterback D.J. Crook, and quarterback Austin Whipple have all joined the program.
Current Board of Trustees Chair Karen Peetz will not seek reelection to that leadership position for the next term, per a release from Penn State. Peetz still plans to remain an active member of the board, but cited her recent appointment as president of Bank of New York Mellon as the reason for her decision.
Let the #culture eruption begin.
Penn State announced earlier today that 100 fall student athletes have received Academic All-Big Ten honors this semester, shattering the previous school record of 81 in 2007.
When the Dapper Dan Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Year awards are presented on February 6th at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, there is a decent chance that the winner will have some type of Penn State connection as Bill O'Brien, Women's Soccer player Taylor Schram, and former Women's Volleyball player Christa Harmotto are all nominees.
