Discussed right now on CF Live, advocated by Greg McIlroy. Said UT can go as high as 10 million a year
CJF to Tennessee?
- Thread starter Thus Spoke Mainer
- Start date
This is a great idea. He can chase off Shoop again with a hostile work place. I told my wife yesterday as we were driving home some media jackass would go there and here we are. He isn't going to that train wreck.
Glad we have a coach everyone wants. We could be stuck with Narduzzi.....his name is never mentioned.
He's not going, but I guarantee you he's going to have to tell the recruits himself. The competition will be yelling this loud and long.
LMAO. Anyone who doesn't think ESPN has an absolute hard-on for PSU, that's all you need to hear. McIlroy is a major douche however so that has to be considered I guess.
"Media jackass" is a good way to describe Greg McElroy. Actually, you could leave off "media" and it would be even better.

Exactly. Why would he want to throw away 4 years of work here to put out a dumpster fire there. He is now just getting the program here where he wants it. Think how restless our fanbase was when we were 2-2 last year. PSU fans are way more patient than Tennessee.
Not sure why a coach of any established program that competes for national championships would go to Tennessee. I could see a mid-major coach leaving and going there as it is a step up in class and salary. But why would a coach of a big time program leave to coach at Tennessee?
Franklin makes plenty of $$ and is in a much better position to compete than he would be at Tennessee. Tennessee has been a bit of a train wreck of a program since Fulmer

$10 million per year is insane. No doubt the UT talk is being whipped up by the SEC homers who have been drinking the kool-aid. They think Franklin has done the same and that he is chomping at the bit to return to the college football holy land in Dixie. The fact is Franklin has only spent three years coaching in the SEC during his entire career and that of course was his time at Vanderbilt. He's already been at Penn State longer. Maybe UT will wave $10 million under his nose and he'll bolt but that's a lot of money for someone they call a "used car salesman". $10 million could buy many other coaches who have longer head coaching resumes. Why the Franklin fixation by the talking heads?? PSU is one of the best jobs in the country.
Roger Goodell would take the Tennessee job if he didn’t suffer a $40,000,000 pay cut. Lose his free jet and lifetime admission to Dutch Wonderland, too.
Bingo. Who was the last coach at a major program that was in contention for championships that left his job for another program (Meyer and Saban don't count)?
My understanding is that one of the negatives about the Tennessee job is the difficult path to a conference championship game since they have to play Alabama every year in a crossover game. I do not see what Franklin would be gaining on that issue. And if Florida gets Chip Kelly, they could rise quickly.
Have you been there? I just love the place. Quaint does even begin to descibe it. That place is a crackup.

They pay coaches at Tennessee? I thought they were all volunteers.
The Tennessee Job is black hole. No one in their right mind would want to take that Job. Therefore, I think Duzzi or Kelly would be ideal.
Franklin might take the family to vacation in TN and stop in to visit UT’s new head coach......Bob Stoops
The guys on that show love to hear themseves talk. Franklins going to leave a 10 or 11 win team with a top 10 recruiting class coming in for a train wreck. The pressure from the RockyTop alumni to beat Alabama is too much to bear.
Tennessee seems like they are after a Gruden with Dan Mullen and Greg Schiano as backups.
Florida seems like they are after Chip Kelly with Scott Frost and Dan Mullen as backups.

Franklin wants nowhere near that TN job and have to deal with the media down there bringing up the Vandy rape case all over again. Matter of fact, I believe Sandy told the BIG ten 2 years ago that PSU prefered to not play in the Music City bowl
They want him so bad they named a city for him.
I recall what he said the last time we went down there to play them: "Let's show these Yankees how to play some football!" I will never forget it.
one of best jobs in the country? I think you might be caught in a time warp. Was once,doubt few coaches would feel that way now.
Hey, my buddy is the GM there! It’s a great place if you have young kids...
Not sure what you're saying here.....Penn State IS one of the best jobs.....Tennessee is not.
What? You don't think PSU is one of the best jobs in the country? Really? On what are you basing that?

And what does Greg McElroy know...whoever he is. Don't be so gullible, amigo!!
The ONLY thing Tennessee has over Penn State is the colorful orange block design in each end zone.
That’s it!
That’s it!
