Franklin Fired at PSU

[CTCanes]

Bet they will hire Tim Skipper, the interim. Seems like a UCLA thing to do. And the team is playing quite well for him.

It’s because of Jerry they are playing well!! Hahaha. Kidding……..

 

[canesbaby]

I know this will be unpopular but….Al Folden will be successful there. ( goes back under rock )

I mean the guy can identify talent. If he figured out how to move on from NoD then they could do worse.

 

[flips]

This is not far-fetched.
His style of recruiting lends well to the northeast and nationally as well, not so much soFla which is a non-factor for StatePenn and he has apparently evolved from the bad defensive scheme he had at UM.
I can see him getting that job.

Firing Franklin to hire Golden is wild though. Basically the same guy except one is bald one has hair.

Jerry brought the good acid.

Yes, except he is one of their own, and this means a lot for these folks who haven't entirely forgotten their lawd and savior, JoePa.

Dan Mullen wouldn’t be a bad pick to replace Franklin

Yeah I mean who needs to recruit in the big ten

We're talking James "reader glasses" Franklin here my guy, not Luther Campbell.
I know that Indiana and Michigan both fought for the Union Army but Notre Dame and Michigan - the midnight navy of blue bloods - both employ brothas who deff have black air forces in their closets as HC.
I get racial prejudice is still very much a thing, especially in the south, but w/half of the SEC Illuminati having mixed grand kids and how desperate UF is, I can't see Franklin's "passing" melanin levels being the dealbreaker here.

ND and Michigan are not the SEC.

I don't know how old you are. But, I'd wager that you will not live to see the day that UF, Bama, Auburn, and Ole Miss hire black coaches.

I'm not talking about the why's. I'm just talking about what is.

That aside, UF will likely look for an offensive guy. Franklin isn't that.

Mullen will have no issues recruiting to that school if he hires the right coaches.

 

[flips]

Yes, except he is one of their own, and this means a lot for these folks who haven't entirely forgotten their lawd and savior, JoePa.

Yeah that's true. Hiring a guy who played when Sandusky coached there potentially Hindenburg level PR disaster though. Same goes for Rhule.

You're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine.

Mr Franklin, ucla is on the phone lol

Public schools that receive public funds should not be able to fire coaches for ~$50 million fo having a down year.

 

[BoxingRobes]

Coaches have less incentive to develop QBs now, NO ONE is safe.. You lose 2 games and you can be gone, no matter if you were in playoffs or anything. This has to have a ripple effect

They stuck with that bum for four years. Maybe Franklin deserved to be fired no matter how good he is as a coach.

 

[JgDaCane15]

Start with that 5 star Rb that’s “not locked in with Psu “

Spell is the best PA HS RB I remember & I was around for Shady McCoy & saw him many times live.

So Adidas made the call? And they will cover the buyout...crazy if true

This is widely inaccurate - Adidas is not paying $10/20/30/40/50M buyout.

 

[section9]

I wonder if Al Golden will ever be successful as an HC at a P4 Program.

Yes, he succeeded at Temple, but that's not the same. He crashed and burned here. He wasn't even able to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear at this place.

I wonder if he's an Eternal Assistant, like Matt Patricia or (sotto voce) Brent Venables (JMHO) and should stay an Eternal Assistant.

Who knows, he may become PSU's version of Nick Saban.

But this I doubt.

Penn st putting the heat on FSU to get rid of Norvell.

Hard to believe, if true.

Sorry, they didn’t fire Franklin to hire Al Golden.

 

[MedleyCane]

StatePenn fan/boosters/students/alum: "What PR disaster?".

I think 99percent of college football have gotten over potential PR disasters. You have coaches who oversaw practices where one of their players died; coaches turning blind eyes to players commiting sexual assaults; coaches using school funds to pay for *** and so on.

Of course, if this happened at Miami...
