How much will Alabama want to take Franklin?

Franklin is a PENN STATE coach: that means he is not accountable.
Not sure if this is a joke but as much as Franklin has not taken us to the next level he’s put us in a good place. I’m a Franklin supporter, but he’s had some real problems with in game decisions and blowing games we should’ve won. That being said, I’m not sure I want to see who we can get if he leaves.
I have never ever said FB coaches were above criticism because of what they made. And I’ve never trashed any D-1 basketball coach as being incompetent because I know that all of them know far more about basketball than I’ll ever know (something many posters on here should realize about football coaches). And the game you’re referring to we were up by 12 early and the other team was coming back and I stated that that was pretty usual for our team. Many went off the handle because apparently I was trashing Chambers because I stated that THE TEAM seemed to always jump out to an early lead and then blow it….and guess what, they blew that game as well. It was a very common occurrence while Chambers was the coach. And I have no problem with criticizing any coach as long as the criticism is realistic and as long as posters hold other coaches to the same expectations consistently. And I hate when the criticism comes after the fact…hindsight coaching by fans is the easiest and laziest thing to do and we have plenty of folks who do that. A coach goes for it on 4th down and makes it and he’s a genius, they don’t make it and it’s a horrible coaching decision. Finally, I turn it back on you, why is it perfectly okay to trash the hell out of James Franklin, but it was taboo to even question Pat Chambers?
But expecting to hit all 12 was not realistic and 11 out of 12 probably wasn’t either. And the huge majority of competitors didn’t do it. And did the company have an equally good product as the key competitors? No.
Not by me it wasn't. Don't care who you are if it takes you 9 freaking years to make the dance, you stink.
I LOVE Coach Rhodes however and don't have a single negative thing to say about him.
That's defeatist. We are not Nebraska. Georgia did it and it worked out just fine.
I agree 9 years is too long. As far as Coach Rhoades, it’s too early to tell, the jury is still out. There are some things I like so far and some things I don’t, but I’ll wait until he gets his recruiting going and gets his guys in here.
