Please let us know how you have all this inside information about what has gone on behind the scenes with Franklin, the AD and other jobs.
Well uh she doesn’t but what does that matter? Far better to accept unsubstantiated rumors and scuttlebutt as gospel.
He has openly refused to comment on rumors of offers your other school's. When was the last time you saw Jim Harbaugh out grubbing or asking for more money when he hadn't performed? The facts are right before you. It doesn't matter what went on behind the scene. Coach constantly looked for more money even in years when he failed to perform. This is a very serious character flaw. He shows little loyalty to the University or gratitude for his salary even though he fails to perform at times.
He openly refused to comment meaning you have no clue what he said to the AD or his players. That’s kind of the point I’m making. And no one in business would get their ass kicked out the door for having a down year during Covid (almost every business did) and then a winning year the following year.
You should be realistic. ADs at programs that were successful in 2020 do not consider the season as throwaway. Just because you consider it a throwaway does not make it one.
I never said a revere though my city is the coach for Penn state at this time period he has a lot of faults.
I am very old fashioned. When you sign your name, you honor what it says, especially after a year when your performance is far below your normal or even what is expected. Greed will always be a character flaw. He is our coach, like most of us, he is far from perfect.
So how many times does Franklin have to pass up other jobs before the media stops asking him about every opening that comes around? I’ve never felt Franklin was ever interested in any of those openings that supposedly wanted him.
Ignorant post, what does it take to be banned. You want to throw stones, what about the guy who left ND for LSU and more $$$, what about the guy who left Oklahoma for USC and took his star players. You know he got bundles of $$$ but may be in for a shock as he will have to play real big ten (16) teams and not the SW Conference or whatever it is called,
Not quite apples to apples with your comment above, but its been confirmed that Franklin was interested in the USC opening last year, but USC did not want him.
Didn't Harbaugh flirt with the NFL? I think he also get an amended contract.
If you have leverage in your career and don't use it, that's your problem. I don't care if he gets another extension. Why would anyone here care? Last I checked the decision makers at PSU don't include the "esteemed" NNNNNCAC.
I agree, let's go get that coach. The one whose name is never associated with other jobs and refuses to accept contract extensions.
And he says he’s not going anywhere even when his name isn’t even mentioned for the opening.
When you look across the college football landscape, only two or maybe three coaches meet the expectations that some have on this board. Definitely only one coach in the Big reaches that level, so if every coach in a conference except one fails to meet the expectations, I would say the expectations are a bit ridiculous.
They have a flexible criteria that has the following:
I have to admit that the crying couch coaches are the source of great amusement to me. In a sense, a PSU loss would almost be worth it to read their weeping and shrieking posts.
Who are you kidding….they will cry even if we win because it won’t be a big enough margin of victory, certain parts of the game won’t meet their expectations, they will complain about play calling and clock management….and on and on. No matter what happens this season the anti-Franklin crew will not be happy.
IDK. When asked, how many times has Franklin said "I'm not interested. I'm the coach at PSU and I intend to remain so." The answer is ZERO.
But he is basically saying that when he says “I’m only focused on who we are playing this week.” Even if he said he wasn’t interested, many on here wouldn’t believe him. It’s how he handles these situations and it’s worked out pretty well for him and he’s still here, so he hasn’t been disloyal to PSU.
FYI, last season more than half of the teams rated with top 25 talent by 247 finished outside of the top 25.
Please hire someone that is great at picking High School linemen, cause you stink at it.
Greed? So if you have a job you don't seek higher pay? They could have told him "no". He obtained what the market for his services provided.
