It used to be the opposite. When I played in college, everyone excused the coaches for leaving programs. The sports media has 0 integrity or consistency. Whichever direction the wind is blowing, they go with it.
"So disgusted", says WHO?? Dude even says, "I don’t know what's going on here." These guys are so pompous in their takes, especially when it comes to something "they don't get." Morons
He had two daughters in South Carolina plus him and matt luke coached at Ole miss so this pretty much sums it up. Plus South Carolina got better weather that man is pushing 60 years old.
I can not believe you sit and say you do not understand or that it is a step down. He explained why (family+Dabo) and Clemson will be in conversation for National championship next year.
Penn state last championship was 1988. Clemson last championship was 2018 with Dabo whom is the current coach. I think he made the right decision. Penn state is just the cowboys of college football. 😂
Maybe Clemson has more to offer! Also just to correct, Clemson was stacked 24 season and now 25 season with 4&5 star players, they play calling on the defense and the training on the defense fell short, otherwise Clemson is as talented or more talented than Penn state. Clemson has had only 3 seasons when they fell short, but I’m certain that most teams would be happy with 9 and 10 win seasons. If you guys don’t see the writing on the wall, let me say… Clemson is making changes to compete for that National Championship win again! I’m sure Penn State would have loved to make it past the final 4 to the final 2 six seasons in a row in the modern college football error not to mention win two National Championships , that gives Clemson 3 at this point. I’m just curious why you would think it is a step down, it’s obviously a step above. We have the players to make it happen, we have the culture, we needed a Head DC with a history similar to BV to tie it up in a Bow. My question would be, what is Penn States HC and his culture with players and his coaches to be the root cause of why there has been 3 DC’s in a 4 year period of time? Sketchy and questionable I would say. It can’t just be Tom Allen at this point. Clemson’s culture is what retains player and Coaches. I’ll just bet that the SEC will be outplayed next year bc all of the ACC teams are making big moves at this very moment. We as Clemson fans are so excited for next season, we can’t hardly wait, we still have our play makers coming back, we still have Dabo, Garrett Riley, Matt Luke, CJ Spiller and now Tom Allen. I suppose you can all call that the Dream Team. I’m so sorry for your loss, but after talking down about Clemson the way you did, you deserve it!
Penn State is a magnificent program that will attract a top notch D coordinator. Best of luck to coach Franklin and the Nittany Lions. We understand that Clemson is not where they were in 2018, but there is good opportunity in the southeast.
Who is going to tell him? Clemson was in the playoff also. Clemson has won more Natty's in recent history and made the playoffs more than anybody not named Bama. PSU just went to their FIRST playoff ever this year. Clemson is not a step down to PSU. In the modern era its a step up...
Allen was a decent DC. He headed to a good program where family, money, and a three-year contract were. PSU has plenty of talent on D. Just hire a DC as good or better than Allen. It might be someone from the inside who's learned and knows tactics and personnel. Not a big deal.
Very smart penn state offense cost them the games or the offense kept scores closer. He is going to have more star players on D and he has an offense that looks promising for his defense. Clemson offense struggled with staying on the field now that they have him the D and O line won’t be as exhausted.
It was mutual. Yes it was about family - two daughters and grandchildren in SC, plus he gets more money. But Penn State didn't really counter. There were communication issues with Allen as DC and he was moved up to the booth to help improve it, by installing Dan Conner on the field to communicate. He's a solid DC, but Penn State's Defensive culture has been there for decades and won't miss a beat. Manny Diaz was a better DC than Allen, before moving to Duke as HC
Klempsum plays in the acc so there's no excuse for not making the playoffs every yr. As far as a counter offer to keep Allen Penn State didnt offer up 1 thin dime.
To hear Brady Quinn say Penn State is closer to a natty than Clemson is frickin hilarious. Haha. Ok dude. Talking like Clemson has been out of the picture for SO long. Haha. They've played in four national title games in the last 10 years. Dabo has just had the worst four year stretch he's ever had and they've won 40 games in that stretch. Penn St goes 10-2 every year and they basically lose to the two best teams they play every year. All this Big 10 is so great talk....give me a break. The overwhelming majority of teams in the Big 10 are garbage. ACC not strong either, but go look at Clemson's record against SEC teams, top 10 teams, etc in the Dabo era and let's look at Franklin's record at Penn St. against top 10 teams. I'll hang up and listen.
dudes will say anything on hear how is clemson a step down with all that talent dabo have at clemson they were young last year penn st a one hit wonder guys stop it dabo is the man yall need to stop dabo is a hell of a coach he using transfer portal now a little guyd dude going to do it his way sorry guys
These guys live in a bubble and have no clue about culture of a team, community and family. It is not always about dollars. Clemson has a legit shot to go deep into the playoffs this year. Ignorant.
This clips goes to show how little these guys research. 😂😂 Allen had huge issues w Franklin. It can easily be seen WHY he left. Not a good fit. Hes a religious freak ( like Dabo ) and he got a 500k raise. And he can talk openly about God. To those people. It matters.
His daughter and grandkids live literally 20 min from Clemsons campus and the other daughter is just a couple hour drive away..What’s not to understand?
Who in the Hell would want to Live in State College the Weather is Horrible for 6 Months Bobby Knight once said going to State college to play Penn State is Like going on a Camping trip Lmmfao 😂😅😭🤣🥶🏔️⛄🗻🌨️❄️
The worst analysis and opinion that I've heard on Tom Allen going to Clemson.
So a coach leaving means he lacks integrity but these guys will celebrate a player leaving for a better situation? Hypocrites
It used to be the opposite. When I played in college, everyone excused the coaches for leaving programs. The sports media has 0 integrity or consistency. Whichever direction the wind is blowing, they go with it.
"So disgusted", says WHO?? Dude even says, "I don’t know what's going on here." These guys are so pompous in their takes, especially when it comes to something "they don't get." Morons
Do yall no life? No ability to empathize? Guy is 54 years old and his grandkids live in the Carolina’s. That’s about all there is to it
I'm trying to figure out how Clemson wouldn't be a better situation in every way. I can't believe Lavar wouldn't care about being near his kids.
And the Weather is so much better then the 6 Months of bad Weather in State College
He had two daughters in South Carolina plus him and matt luke coached at Ole miss so this pretty much sums it up. Plus South Carolina got better weather that man is pushing 60 years old.
Penn State finally wins a big game for the first time since the 80s and suddenly it’s not a lateral move? 😂😂😂
LOL! Clemson is a step up for Allen. Living in SC vs Pennsylvania, a no brainer. Who are these guys talking?
I can not believe you sit and say you do not understand or that it is a step down. He explained why (family+Dabo) and Clemson will be in conversation for National championship next year.
Penn state last championship was 1988. Clemson last championship was 2018 with Dabo whom is the current coach. I think he made the right decision. Penn state is just the cowboys of college football. 😂
when did Dallas make a final conference championship? don't answer..
The Cowboys? They haven't gotten out of the divisional round in 30 years
1986 Lmmfao 😅😭🤣😂
86

Talking down about Clemson is crazy 😂 i wish we olayed next year so you guys can see just how far ahead Clemson is compared to Penn State
Seems like a step up
Who is going to tell him? Clemson was in the playoff also. Clemson has won more Natty's in recent history and made the playoffs more than anybody not named Bama. PSU just went to their FIRST playoff ever this year. Clemson is not a step down to PSU. In the modern era its a step up...
they are haters they hate dabo because dabo do things his own way
100 percent correct. Clemson is a step up compared to PSU lol.. they haven't done anything of relevance in 30 years. Homers here lol
Allen was a decent DC. He headed to a good program where family, money, and a three-year contract were. PSU has plenty of talent on D. Just hire a DC as good or better than Allen. It might be someone from the inside who's learned and knows tactics and personnel. Not a big deal.
Don't see the problem here
I think people are looking for more things to talk about. It came down to weather and family, which is there IMHO
Penn state having a great defense for years will attract a top guy, whoever that may be.
Smart move for him!
Very smart penn state offense cost them the games or the offense kept scores closer. He is going to have more star players on D and he has an offense that looks promising for his defense. Clemson offense struggled with staying on the field now that they have him the D and O line won’t be as exhausted.
Sound like a bunch of clowns🤣🤣 Step down? FOH!! Penn State just became KINDA relevant after not winning crap since the 80s🤡🤡 Lavar is just salty af
Lavar thinks he is it but he's just a Drip Lmmfao 😅😭🤣😂
so Clemson during their "downfall" is still tied for 6th in wins since 2020 - then the factor of being close to your family
It was mutual. Yes it was about family - two daughters and grandchildren in SC, plus he gets more money. But Penn State didn't really counter. There were communication issues with Allen as DC and he was moved up to the booth to help improve it, by installing Dan Conner on the field to communicate. He's a solid DC, but Penn State's Defensive culture has been there for decades and won't miss a beat. Manny Diaz was a better DC than Allen, before moving to Duke as HC
Tom Allen's wife wanted to be closer to the kids, and everyone knows, happy wife, happy life!!!! Lol, WE ARE
Klempsum plays in the acc so there's no excuse for not making the playoffs every yr. As far as a counter offer to keep Allen Penn State didnt offer up 1 thin dime.
Dude Pnst got a free pass to the playoff and played teams that shouldn't be there. No Pnst is not a better team and Klubnik is a Heisman candidate
Lavar showing his Penn St bias.
GARBAGE TIME RADIO !!!!!
To hear Brady Quinn say Penn State is closer to a natty than Clemson is frickin hilarious. Haha. Ok dude. Talking like Clemson has been out of the picture for SO long. Haha.

These guys live in a bubble and have no clue about culture of a team, community and family. It is not always about dollars. Clemson has a legit shot to go deep into the playoffs this year. Ignorant.
His family stay in South Carolina
He sees the sinking ship
He is bailing
This clips goes to show how little these guys research. 😂😂 Allen had huge issues w Franklin. It can easily be seen WHY he left. Not a good fit. Hes a religious freak ( like Dabo ) and he got a 500k raise. And he can talk openly about God. To those people. It matters.
Who is lavar Arrington? What is lavar arrington?
Allen left cause he has family down there smh
His daughter and grandkids live literally 20 min from Clemsons campus and the other daughter is just a couple hour drive away..What’s not to understand?
