Franklin Fired at PSU

[section9]

There was this big scrum back in the winter of 2012 when there were rumors of the PSU job coming open. There was a huge thread here at the time that speculated on Golden taking the job. Over a 100 pages. Absolutely out of this world.

 

[Bird4um]

Golden had the most pros out of anyone.
I just hope he hires no D.

Bring him in as an analyst. Figured I’d just get it out of the way before someone else said it

Does Franklin specialize in anything?

Is he a defense guy? An offense guy?

Besides losing games he has no business losing, and always losing to teams with a pulse, what discernible advantage does he bring not just to Miami but to any program?

I believe he’s an offense guy and I was kidding, but you know someone will say it and mean it.

So the only question now is whether or not the Gator Job comes open and how much Larry Coker will demand to take it!

 

[CTCanes]

I hope they hire their beloved former DC and 2023 Broyles Award semi-finalist, Manny Diaz. 2nd ranked total defense in 2023. Let’s bring the magic back!

Golden and Diaz gotten be on their list!

Absolutely egregious the money thesse guys get, generational, for being bad at their jobs

He, Norvell, Napier, Jimbo

Yeah, make the argument they made the school money but to get that type of money for being at best mediocre is an insult to real hard working people

Take these guys out of the vacuum that is the profession, they'd all be regular people

jimbo won a natty at least.

Penn St might try to get the IU dude

 

[DC3]

All depends on the contract language.

Is it due upfront? are there installments? is there any offset language when he takes a P5 job in a few months for 20+ millon.

 

[Cribby]

Reports out of Cincy is Al Golden has went awol and no one can reach him.

Billy is next cause I gotta think Stricklin will make a play for Franklin.

 

[Virgil Cane24]

Vanderbilt football coach James Franklin has apologized for saying that he only hires assistant coaches if they have attractive wives.

Franklin made the comments in a radio interview with Nashville's 104.5 "The Zone" earlier this week:

"I've been saying it for a long time, I will not hire an assistant coach until I've seen his wife. If she looks the part, and she's a D-1 recruit, then you got a chance to get hired. That's part of the deal. There's a very strong correlation between having the confidence, going up and talking to a woman, and being quick on your feet and having some personality and confidence and being fun and articulate, than it is walking into a high school and recruiting a kid and selling him."

Go Canes!

IU is a better job than PSU right now. Cignetti gets everything he wants plus major boosters to help fund NIL.

 

[RozayCane]

I could see him being the Gators next coach

 

[Silentobserver]

I believe he’s an offense guy and I was kidding, but you know someone will say it and mean it.

I know you were joking, but I was asking more broadly. Outside of losing big games, what's the identity of a Franklin program?

 

[YankeesCane]

jimbo won a natty at least.

Yes

I meant at TAM

 

[Canesfan1899]

$50 million to sit home. That’s the America I love

 

[section9]

Billy is next cause I gotta think Stricklin will make a play for Franklin.

You can't just fire Billy and hire a Nogoodnik like Franklin when your fanbase is screaming to hop on the Lane Train.

I could see him being Stanford’s
