Saw something that CFB programs over the past several yrs have, collectively, spent $550m in dead $$ to buy out HCs.

I’m doing something incredibly wrong in my life; how can I be incompetent at what I’m paid to do & get chedda while on the job, but also get guac when I’m fired?

Wild. But the problem with CFB is the players getting paid...

It's ridiculous that THEY'VE fired him yet they're requiring him to look for another job.

Like, how do you even police that? "Yeah Florida offered me an interview, but it wasn't for me. Now if you'll excuse me you're cutting into my afternoon tv time".

He should test out how flexible the definition of "broadcasting" is. Make a podcast called "James Franklin sits on a couch, eats different flavor Doritos, and collects millions."

Chad Morris and Bret Bielema essentially tried this after being fired by Arkansas.

Did it work?

Morris tried to go coach high school ball and they were going to take him to court for not seeking comparable employment before he quit and took some college job, and Bielema (I think) went the nfl analyst route and they wound up in court for the same thing iirc. So not really lol

Oh man - a YouTube channel where he just sits on his couch and live blogs the Penn State game every Saturday.

Sold.

I remember we tried to get Rojas but it was hard to compete with Penn St. during that point and time. With Franklin leaving, I wonder if he’d be interested in a ….transition next year.

Matt Ruhle fits in as a replacement. He is a PSU alumni.

LOL....what big games has Ruhle won? Alum or not he’d be another Franklin except he has a pleasing likable personality. Franklin’s problem was his doorknob demeanor & likeability issue.

Cignetti is Pitt guy and supposedly hates PSU.

Rhule and the PSU AD are best friends who vacation together at the jersey shore. We all know the weird bromances Penn St guys have.

The betting favorites right now are Rhulem Manny Diaz, and Matt Campbell. I don’t who would be the big hire if not Cignetti? Brian Kelly?

It’s Cignetti or bust for them. That’s a fact.

I'm hearing Cignetti is the top guy, and only if he says no (which he could bc he loves winning at Indiana and telling people to shove it), they'd move on Rhule and 1-2 others. I think Raiola being linked to Rhule makes him a more attractive candidate than what he truly is. He's lost practically every game against a ranked opponent at Nebraska and Baylor before there. For that, they could have kept Franklin.

If Cignetti falls through (I doubt it), I’d take the Matt Campbell and Rocco Becht combo as Rocco would be a good bridge to Ethan Grunkmeyer.

Cignetti at Penn State would be insufferable
