I am impressed by his objectivity and ability to take a step back and look at it. I am not convinced that he is objective enough about himself, but perhaps he is.
Penn State is ranked above Texas in third place in the averaged computer ratings (

He seems calm about this and I am quite happy to let him get on with it. However, if he cannot get the offense to achieve better, I hope that he will indeed have that conversation in the post-season and get a really good offensive coordinator.
