I think Franklin should get $100,000 bonus for the quote.

Graceless remark, no excuse for it.
SPOT-FREAKIN-ON!!! F'everybody! The only way you get to the "playoff" is to be in the headlines...well bring it! This makes headlines!Ahh. I'm quickly getting ok with it. We had a coach for 45 years who would never say anything bad about an opponent, would never run it up on an opponent, and all that bought him was people thinking he was capable of placing winning football games over children being sexually abused. I'm more than happy to wear the black hat.
Franklin: "For their win last year it was like winning the Super Bowl. For us this year, it was like beating Akron."
Way to disrespect Akron!!
Graceless remark, no excuse for it.
And his slam in 2015 about the offensive coaching. And if Pitt fans were really concerned about class, they would want their coach to not use negative recruiting. But class apparently only goes one way.Before all six of the Pitt fans get all high and mighty...remember Narduzzi's post game pressed after last year's game.
And I quote "Oh, that's just another excuse..."
You reap what you sow, Narputz.
"Pat yourself on the back! It was a Nar-Doozy of a game!" Har harAll the Pitt players and fans got participation ribbons today so well done. Pat yourselves on the back and don't forget to brush your tooth before turning in tonight.
Yes Franklin is pushing his one game at a time mantra. He actually said in the full quote, I believe, that every game is our super bowl.
He doesn't believes in circling games because it leads to you losing focus yadda yadda yadda....and of course he is right.
However there is no doubt he, the other coaches, players and fans all know the success of this program will hinge on consistently competing and beating Ohio St and Michigan.
Also you dont say dominate the state and not know what that implies. Keep the best kids in state and beat your in state competition. That implies to recruitung of course but recruiting doesnt matter unless you get results on the field.
So Franklin absolutely knows this a big game for the program. For his coaching staff that recruits against them. For alot of his players and for a sizeable segment of the fan base.
He could of easily phrased his answer differently and acknowledged as much but he stuck to his mantra and knew he was twisting the knife a little while doing it. His commemts on their face could be argued as taken out of context but he is fully aware of how these comments are being taken by his opponents today.
NarDouche and the Pitters knee slap each other and drop quotes like this all the time. I know what CJF meant, his Freudian slip, however, is the fact that Pitt truly is no better than Akron.
The Pitters really need to come to terms that they are a tier 3 program.
It is what it is. Georgia State, Georgia State, Georgia State
Best quote by Franklin yet. Can't wait to watch Pitt fans cry about that one.
You need to sell insurance.... LOLOL!
Pitt alumni and fan here. I actually see Pitt maybe going 7-6 this year if we even get to a bowl game. I don't care about the quote. BUT, this board is reacting worse than the quote. Pitt has a grad transfer at QB and is playing with players that are pretty green. Let's face it, if not for the interceptions the game would have been much closer. So gloat now but you have a couple games coming up to prove how great you are.
The Georgia State game really worries me. They are probably the worst team in America. It HAS to be a blowout or we really will drop in the polls.

That sounds like a bunch of excuses. You lost and your season is over.Pitt alumni and fan here. I actually see Pitt maybe going 7-6 this year if we even get to a bowl game.

Just calling ASWP what they are ---- ASWPGraceless remark, no excuse for it.
Pitt fans are throwing Browne under the bus and using him as the only reason they lost the game. Typical behavior from their 6 fans.By that token, if not for Trace's int or Hamilton's drop in the 4th quarter then we would have won last year.
We are not playing that game with a 19 point victory. Turnovers are part of football. It's not like Browne just gave em away. Pressure caused them. Ball security is of utmost importance.
Last year, we were the young, green team. We staged a comeback from 21 down, but fell short. This year, you guys dinked and dusted your way to about 40:00 ToP and were never a threat to win. Once Barkley took the seam pass to the house, the game was effectively over.
The best player in the nation is always the backup QB after a loss.Pitt fans are throwing Browne under the bus and using him as the only reason they lost the game. Typical behavior from their 6 fans.
And now that they lost, the Pedo State comments are coming out even more.With the way their fans acted last year after the game I don't mind taking the low road. They are offended by what Franklin said well maybe they should lighted up on the Pedo State BS and we will try not to make fun of them when they lose every week the rest of the way out.
Well, he's wrong. Beating Clemson at their place was our Super Bowl.
That will get their panties in a bunch.

Would have agreed with that 25 years ago. Different times we now live in. PSU has been screwed so much over the past 6 years. Go get em Coach.Come on James. Win with class. You're better than that.
