Harbaugh not coaching tomorrow is a HUGE DEAL

[Psubiomed]

Main decision maker is gone
Main and sole adjustment overseer is gone
Team leader is gone
Game plan now in the hands of a coordinator, not a head coach.
And about 100 more things, which will change

Oh, you meant Connor right?

PSU had to spend their practice week changing signals. That’s probably a bigger distraction than what UM is facing.

 

[PennState_one]

Will this give Michigan players more motivation and will it matter?

You mean those same coordinators that Stalions would tell the next play to during the game? Those guys should be fired right now.

No impact. He coached all week. Their game plan is set. Same as the early season 3 game "suspension". Their coordinators have already been through this scenario. This is not a suspension. A real suspension would prevent him from coaching at all.

I’d hope that we started cycling in new signals as soon as this broke. Shame on Franklin if he waited til Michigan week to overhaul it considering when this story broke.

PSU players should be motivated for a BT title and that 2021 and 2022 losses could have been impacted by cheaters who stole their signals illegally. Fans should be motived by this scum cheating program coming into our stadium under this scandal.

 

[bono47]

Yeah if I was a PSU player I would pissed off how cheating hurt my play past 2 years and draft status. I would want to play pretty violently against the players who cheated me.

If CJF did not change anything , then well tells you all you need to know.

Is this your way of pretending you weren't dead wrong saying serious sanctions were being announced on Sunday and Michigan was dead?
This makes a slap on the wrist look like murder.

 

[Ward Hog]

Jimmy is most likely going back to Ann Arbor to his command center so he can run things. If you think he's still not making the major decisions then you're nuts.

So you're saying the head coach doesn't own a phone? OK right. I don't think so.
Meaningless "punishment ".

 

[Safety Blitz]

Truth be told, there are more than a couple regular posters on this forum who believe this type of “suspension” aimed at James Franklin would actually help Penn State.

Ever try to use a cell phone in Beaver Stadium?

 

[johnmpsu]

LOL. Somehow I don't think that will be a problem in the press box.

and his coaches have head sets and watches on!

Franklin has already addressed this subject and talked about the changes so that tells me all I need to know about your post.

 

[ryoder1]

This ends up a positive for Michigan. The line should go up a couple points.

It went down. 3.5 now.

 

[Psubiomed]

Mind you this is with OR without Harbaugh as Vegas knows he will get his injunction since it's an annual arbor judge

 

[IANit]

LOL. Somehow I don't think that will be a problem in the press box.

He's not allowed in the venue on game day, so no press box.

 

[johnmpsu]

He's not allowed in the venue on game day, so no press box.

There are ways to communicate with the press box. You can't be serious with these comebacks? If he wants to communicate with the coaches he will.

The press box people have wifi calling. Jimmah can call in what he wants.

Cheating while suspended for cheating? Thats risky.

 

[LandoComando]

Cheating while suspended for cheating? Thats risky.

Is that cheating? The "ban" isn't a suspension and mentions nothing about him not allowed to have contact with the staff during the games. He just can't be on the sidelines or that the stadium.

Will Connor stallions be with him?

 

[Crusher1950]

You people keep forgetting who our coach is

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Yes, thats called cheating.

 

[LandoComando]

Yes, thats called cheating.

Is that a rule? It wasn't part of the penalty. If it's an existing rule that's great.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Is that a rule? It wasn't part of the penalty. If it's an existing rule that's great.

Yes its an existing rule

 

[LandoComando]

Yes its an existing rule

Then I'd agree
Though Michigan already filed so he'll probably be on the sidelines tomorrow and this is moot.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Nothing
Burger

Other than being an awkward embarrassment, this is a non issue. It’ll just allow Mushmouf to rend his garments and compare this to 9-11 or something

 

[YYZ86]

The line movement has nothing to do with whether Vegas believes it matters.

Our players believe. That matters.

 

[LandoComando]

Do they?
I hope they do but what is that based on?

 

[YYZ86]

Our players believe. That matters.

I have no idea what that means about my Vegas comment.

 

[Psubiomed]

I have no idea what that means about my Vegas comment.

It means Penn State is beating Michigan tomorrow.

Well they have a track record don't they.
