Or maybe they see it as a place that has set their bar pretty damn high and willing to commit the resources needed to win a championship?
Franklin is Out as Head Coach
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
Tell that to the people that approved the $750M stadium renovations. No one is paying to watch kids solving calculus equations at the 50 yard line or finding the cure for cancer. The goal is to invest whatever it takes to WIN football games so that you can fund the other sports. And as long as you meet the APR standards, the rest is just icing
Again, that's not true. It's amazing any program ever hires a good coach.
How'd LSU get Brian Kelly? How'd Georgia get Smart after firing Richt (who was Franklin)?
I’d pay to leave A&M if this was my cheer squad….
lol. Spending a **** ton of money on facilities is not the same as hiring a coach that was fired from last HC position for being slimy/shady.
Considering what I understand about the coaching profession it will be very interesting to see what will happen @ Beaver Stadium. Stay tuned.
You keep saying that which is nothing at all
How did Georgia get Smart?
How did LSU get Kelly?
How did A&M get Elko?
You're just rambling for attention
She has to be in the Top 5 and she f'up parking how do you f'up parking?

He just got an 80 million dollar contract from IU, PSU will have to pony up if he want's to leave IU.

But let's see what will happen @ Beaver Stadium before passing judgement on my posts/replies (again).
You mean the tight coaching fraternity where a coach stole signals from other teams? Or the BIG 10 coach who reported it? Or the coach who blew in Cam Newton? Or every coach who negatively recruits? That tight coaching fraternity? What are you even talking about?
Call me crazy, but I have a hunch Penn State is going after Dan Lanning. Adidas would love nothing better than to poach the HC from Nike’s flagship university. PSU will offer to make him the highest paid HC in college football.
I agree it’s not as nice but I did get similar vibes to SC when I was there. Their 12th Man Foundation rakes in the money compared to Happy Valley United.
I call foul on that.
These guys were certainly in demand once they got into the portal. Many 4 stars.

There’s coaches right now saying, “Here’s my chance.” There is no tight coaching fraternity.
Lanning would be the football equivalent of hiring Carl Sanderson. Lanning has spent time on the East Coast in several locations as an assistant. It’s a potential home run hire. Would Lanning’s recent trip yo PSU for the Whiteout make him think of the possibilities? I don’t think it’s out of the question.
And they have weirdos who yell at you for walking on the damn grass in the middle of campus.The goofiest school ever.
Even as a military child, you would self-expel.
You’re kidding? Come on, this is Penn State. It’s going to attract high quality candidates.
Lanning would be insane to leave Oregon.
This just seems like such a weird take. If they had fired Franklin for "only" winning 9/10 games a season while continuing to lose to any top foes, then it would have been a fair concern. But he just lost two games that he was favored by double digits. After being a preseason candidate to at least make the playoffs if not win the MNC.
There is no one out there in the coaching ranks who would look at the treatment of Franklin as unreasonable.
Mike Leach - (the core of cadets), they get to pretend they are soldiers.The goofiest school ever.
Even as a military child, you would self-expel.
Interesting request about judgement, when in this thread there is:
And
and
And
you have continually stated your opinion that a negative hire will almost assuredly occur without waiting to “see what will happen”.
Lol but you arent saying anything
How does who they hire prove you right?
Do you think no one takes the job and Penn State football dies?
Actually say something
One of the 2 worst ADs in PSU history.... and one of the worst ever in the profession.
But this particular albatross is (largely) not her's.
John Harbaugh? I think he's done at seasons end in Baltimore and he is worth a look.
If you are pointing to Joyner yes he was responsible for the original hire but wasn’t the extension after the big ten championship the catalyst of the issue wasn’t that under dandy sandy? As well as the 2nd extension?
Joyner? Nah, not (IMO anyway) here as AD long enough, or involved enough, to be in the same league with the other 2.
Lanning essentially has unlimited money and resources at Oregon. Penn State would be a gigantic step down. Virtually zero chance he makes that move unless his parents live in Bellefonte or something.
