Youre missing the point. My entire point is that Yurcich knew he was getting fired and was still allowed to coach the Michigan game. That is the problem that I have.
Interesting. But where is the evidence that MY knew he was getting fired? All I see is that CJF waned the high school kid that there would be changes.
"he hinted to it. He kind of told me that Coach Yurcich wasn't gonna be there," There's many different ways the kid's statement can be interpreted. As opposed to CFJ saying, "I'm firing his *ss after the season is over."
Well, no he doesn't. The direct quote is "He KIND OF told me that coach Yurcich wasn't gonna be there"
First, "kind of" means he hinted. "I'd be happy to have you commit but you know, Coach Yurcich and others may not be here for your career." Secondly, when? today, tomorrow, next year, sometime before the kid's eligibility would be up in 2029? And was he taking a HC job someplace, moving to the NFL, fed up with the life of a coach?
I submit that you are taking too literally the two-sentence response to a reporter's question.
I guess we have a difference of opinion if you think thats ok.
Yup. I have a lot of problems with CFJ. His record in big games being number one, but this doesn't pass the smell test.
I am with you. The only problem I've ever seen with CJF is his football coaching. I would doubt that he'd tell a 17 year old kid that he was about to fire the OC. It is very possible that the reporter made the kid feel foolish for committing and just was trying to defend his ego.
He didn't know, this thread is silly. Not going to go into much, but this would never happen. Could of been visual cues he was on thin ice, but he would not of known. I mean, imagine PSU scored 45 on Michigan, you are going to fire him after that? Good luck explaining.
Where in any of this does it say that Yurcich knew he was getting fired before the game? That’s a big stretch even for the most ardent Franklin haters.
Ummmm....wasnt it just a few weeks ago that you were telling people to ignore Lando??
It's false, many people that get fired knew it was coming, true in most cases. Franklin may have been short with him, shot down something he would typically accept, been cold to him unusually, etc, etc. But he didn't have any real confirmation.
Stranger things have happened. Many years ago I interviewed for a part time job with the fellow that was the supervisor. I was hired and my first day at work I was called into the general manager’s office and told to fire the guy that hired me as I was being given his job. Thinking that I was next (as opposed to some moral indignation) I said no thanks and left.
But you were hired before they communicated any of that with you. Bizarre though.
I saw a lot of that in the dot com bust days. Not saying it was you, but higher a cheaper person to do the same as the old person. Great friend worked at Micro Strategies in northern VA, spent months going around the country firing people during the bust, then got home and got fired. It's brutal out there!
I had a similar situation. I was hired by the owner of a small firm. My first day there, I realized I didn't like him very much, so I fired him. The look on his face while he was packing up his office was priceless.
