Franklin 2 phone calls with FSU admin in last 24 hours

[uhHUH1234]

Don't shoot the messenger, heard it from two viable sources. Nothing to report official besides two extended phone conversations about big picture situation at FSU. Sandy was made aware of the situation this afternoon

 

[psuro]

Thanks.

 

[interrobang]

The only thing that would make him leave is an AD who can't raise the money needed for the stadium upgrades.

 

[PeetzPoolBoy]

Screwface should be verifying the balance in the PSU Checking Account. She might need to write James a check to stay.

 

[mn78psu83]

Thanks.

Keep us in the loop.

 

[psuro]

Well I think his buy out is only $2 mm.

Pretty sure we could get s decent replacement if he does leave.

How about an AD that jerks him around?

 

[mn78psu83]

How about both?

I thought there was an Assiciate AD for that.

Kevin Sumlin was seen at the Tavern?

Now we are not only tracking flights, but also tapping phones? I hear Moorhead has offered Franklin an assistant coach position at MSU and he is seriously considering it.

 

[Art]

Very reliable.

He has "viable" sources.

I'm no FSU fan but they are on easy street playing in the ACC.

I don't think it is a better job than PSU... noone would, but if the money is there it is a tough one.

[EPC FAN]

No thanks.

 

[Chris92]

So does Moorhead's contract have an out clause for the PSU job?

 

[pennstgrad]

Shoot the messenger

Viable not not reliable.

If there’s one good argument, that may be it. Penn State has to butt heads with OSU, Michigan, etc each year just to win the division. The last two years have illustrated those limitations for Franklin.

FSU wouldn’t be easy (games vs Clemson, Florida, Miami, etc), but there’s crazy talent down there and it probably would offer a better path to the CFP year in and year out.

All that said, I hope Franklin sees all the momentum he’s built here and wants to stay to finish the job.

It is really simple. Franklin needs to hold a press conference and indicate that this is fake news being made up. If he is silent on this then we can only assume it is real. Cannot believe anyone was dumb enough to have a $2M buyout. Buyout should be the full value of his contract. What would he be paid if he was fired?

 

[Norm Petersin]

Would we have interest in Narducci?

Didn't he just sign his extension this year. Not adding up there.

 

[psulax3]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[mn78psu83]

PSU would be better off with Sarducci.

 

[TheBumble]

Hurry, grab the pitchforks, call the local politicians, paint a rock... we wont stand for this.

 

[LurkerLazarus]

Curious how OP, a proclaimed South Carolina grad in a previous post, would know this?

 

[BoChops]

Freeh still tapping the phones?

The only place I've heard anything about it is on here....Franklin may not even be aware of it.

Yeah, he can hand out the free beverages in the stands

If your sources are anyone other than Franklin's wife, I doubt they have any real information.

Parking lot attendant?

 

[scueng77]

I remember people laughing that OB was leaving. How’d that turn out?

Nothing would surprise me. It would disappoint me though.

Which year? Anything is possible dung.

 

[Crusher1950]

There are so many idiots on this board that just fall hook, line and sinker on this board to what anyone says is unbelievable! People JAMES FRANKLIN is not going anywhere! I repeat! He is not going "ANYWHERE " GOT IT!!!!!

 

[AWS1022]

I remember people laughing that OB was leaving. How’d that turn out?

Different situation entirely.

 

[LurkerLazarus]

It turned out, we actually improved when he left. If JF leaves, same could happen again. I doubt he leaves, but if he did, there won't be any shortage of qualified candidates to replace him.
