There is A LOT to like about Coach Franklin. He’s a very good recruiter, a role model that I would put forward for my own son, and he seems to relate to his players.
One tradeoff, IMO, is that he has many personal connections with his staff and he can be loyal too long when changes are needed. I suspect he has a special bond with Limegrover and Rahne. That could be why things have been slow to be addressed.
If you look at his offenses at Penn State, consistency has been lacking, even in the 2016-2017 great years. Things were masked some because of Moorhead’s success in using generational talent at RB, WR and TE.
Outside of the Moorhead and generational talent combo, Penn State offenses have been lean. Significant changes are warranted. Will Coach Franklin make them in a way that yields desired results?
