New Penn State Gymnastics Coach?? PT 1

I don't get it. Penn State just hired the gymnastics coaches from Auburn Jeff and Rachelle Thompson to be the coaches. What was PSU thinking??? They have been to maybe 3 national championships in the past 10 years. Penn State called UCLA's coach Valorie Kondos asking what she thinks about married coaches. Not specifically the Thompson's. Kondos was thinking that they were talking about Mark and Renee Cook. Not the Thompson's. They were WORSE than Penn State was in the past years. PSU didn't even call Renee Cook to offer her the job... NOT EVEN TO ASK QUESTIONS. Cook was a PSU alum. And she has done a great job with the Arkansas Program.

How is Jeff going to fit in in Central Pennsylvania? He wears cowboy boots and a really big belt buckle to meets. Tim Curly (Athletic Director for PSU) says "Jeff has been very successful in his time at Auburn, as well as the club level." They have NOT made it to nationals in 5 darn years! Did Penn State even find out any information about them at all? Did they know that they were 1 year away from getting fired? And club gymnastics is absolutely nothing like college gymnastics. PSU knows nothing about college gymnastics and they don't care. View Part 2
