A couple seasons ago I got lambasted on the board for posting JF was the worst game day coach in FBS....how about now?
Fire Franklin. This is coaching malpractice!/Combined complaints post UCLA
- Thread starter DaytonRickster
- Start date
I believe the Sunday scrimmages are for the players who didn't play on Saturday.
They have invested in playing 2 RB's. They already are some what predictable on offense. Lets only put Singleton in on obvious passing downs and make the offense even more predictable, that'll fix it
The podcast with Audrey Snyder hinted that it wasn’t all Sandy’s doing on the 10 year deal; hinted that is was the wish of the BOT Chair at the time and Sandy just made it happen. Can’t recall who that was or more importantly, why they felt the need to extend Franklin right after his loss to Illinois. USC may ave been kicking the tires, but that ended once 8 OT’s went south.
Matt Schuyler. For some reason, Franklin had him twisted around his finger. Who knows? Maybe Franklin had a set of pictures before the people at Hilton did.
Maybe we should try no coach? it worked for UCLA
He did it early on here. "The plays work better with better players." He's a f'ing idiot.
He should have been fired the second he stepped off the plane. He had it all this year, and HE didn't execute.
Why would Franklin and his agent renegotiate a buyout and lose money? He holds all the cards here.
He does and I hope this doesn’t happen but I could see that any adverse reaction to his family would make him seriously consider stepping aside. He’s a good man from everything you see and rightfully will not take any blowback that his family receives.
Penn St is such a fishbowl and it has to be really difficult on family members of the coach and staff.
There are things that come with the territory but saying things to him when he’s with family is off limits.
Yeah. I see where you are coming from. If anyone does anything stupid towards him or his family they are low life with serious mental issues and should be lawfully punished to the fullest extent of the law.
I saw Neuheisel at the Tavern this week.
It starts with love and ends with love.
He's one of the worst with time management (pretty sure he took lessons from Tomlin)
Worst game day coach is tough--But I wouldn't have attacked you for it. I think he's in that discussion. Dabo's pretty awful too these days if we're just talking good programs.
So are you saying, we need to make sure the next Head Coach isn’t a liberal?
to be fair, the first three games weren't all that spectacular. You could tell we had problems offensively and defensively. We won, in part, because we wore down three far inferior teams.Just horrible 2 weeks
Might as well redshirt all the starters? Get a leg up for next year.
I don't think the Knowles defense works with our personnel. We don't have the Dtackles like Ohio state. You can't win if you're giving up 5 yard up the middle on first down
well the players are making enough $$ now, they could pay their own bail
Kraft isn't making this decision with a $50 mil buyout on the line.
Maybe the players can pool their NIL dollars and buy out Franklin
" Hey Terry, Pat here, how does Pegula Stadium sound to you? I was thinking $60 million for the naming rights guaranteed for the next 5 years, with right of first refusal after the original 5 year period. We could really use your help getting out from under a bad contract extended by our former visionary AD."
That might hold up early in the season, but after three, four games of it not carrying over to Saturdays, and meanwhile the other guy is tearing it up, you have to yield to empirical evidence.
I confess I feel entitled to beat 0-4 teams that average 14 points a game when my team has National Championship aspirations and the highest paid coaching staff in college football.
I'm definitely being unreasonable.
SOME of us could tell there were problems.
Every D1 player dreams of a NFL career....will the NFL speak nice and soft when you screw up and get penalties at critical time? Will you stay in the game if you lose down after down to the man across from you? NIL simply means the players are semi-pro....only thing the current players care about is playing time and winning, reason tOSU, Georgia, and a few others get the best players to develop them for the NFL. We don't have the speed on the OL to run counters and sweeps....defense flows faster. Why we never switch to zone blocking, hat on hat, and run straight at them with KA amazes me....Best teams are able to switch their attack to confuse the defense.
As for AK vs CJF....we have had successful OCs join the staff and the song remains the same....and ..the one constant is.......
In my opinion.....the fact we are conversing without name calling is good. There simply is no absolute perfect game plan...the plan that wins today was best for that opponent... but may fail the following week. That is why putting your players in their best position to win is essential. In reality, every play is a mini game...you win enough plays you win the game.
To be clear, I agree with you regarding most of this. Kaytron should get 20-25 carries a game. couldn't agree more and about the constant.
The difference is college players are always free agents--they can literally just redshirt if they want until they've exhausted it and walk away from the team. They can portal in a moment.
And, yes, this is semi-pro which is why Dejuan Lane shouldn't have a scholarship today if we truly practiced for the onside kick as the insiders claim.
some NFL coaches (see Tomlin) are players coaches and don't get in their face which explains a lot unfortunately about the Steelers lack of real success
You shoulda seen what they were posting on the Wolverine & Nut boards before they each turned it around. Even our Cat board if filled with discontent now just 3 seasons removed from the B12 championship. Pile on him all you want to it is only just a matter of time before HCJF (also) gets it done @ Beaver Stadium. I'll be so happy for HCJF just like I was for HCRD @ the Shoe(
