Hagans IS STILL THE PROBLEM

Denmark and Howard are practicing running patterns to the portal
A deep cross or slant or post would be great every once in a while. Only balls that go over the middle are to a tight end. It adds to my theory that Franklin is very much a 'play not to lose' coach when overseeing the offense.
How about it. This team scored 37 points. In no world should 37 not be enough to beat UCLA in 2025.
To be fair here the OP was about the WR coach not the defense hence why this topic/threads are based off the WR and offense. Bunch of defense posts and I agree with you, the defense couldn't catch a cold let alone UCLA's qb saturday.
I brought this up on Saturday. When did Franklin start carrying a play chart AND why does Franklin need a play chart if he has the greatest staff he has ever had at Penn State?
Phenomenal? I guess I need to stop watching? When will you start watching? Understanding?
Late Paterno years include a 2-star QB who was 2-time 1st team All-Big10 - including a league Offensive MVP. Who coached that QB?
No one will be appeased by scapegoating coordinators. It’s time to move on at the top.
The same guy that coached and recruited Matt Seneca, Anthony Morelli, Paul Jones, Rob Bolden, and turnover prone McGloin. Remember when Morelli attempted to make an NFL roster and the scouting report from an NFL coach was that he was “acutely undercoached and unprepared to be a professional QB in the NFL” Ouch. In the meantime, they missed out on top level QBs like Henne, Pryor, and Chris Simms because of Jay. I’ll give him credit for MRob and Clark.

His best QB was a FB in the NFL and that sounds like a joke but it's not.
MRob was a great college QB. Unfortunately, he only got one year of starting experience at PSU because the rest of the team was so poorly constructed that he was forced to play multiple positions. That was Jay’s blunder also as he was the recruiting coordinator that constructed those underperforming teams from 2000-2004.

Wasn't a knock on M Rob at all, but just furthering the point about Jay's "greatness".
You do need to stop or learn the game
Every breakdown disagrees including guys like Klatt who said he was our best player. It's weird people that don't know the sport try to discuss it.
We scored 35 and were given 2 points. Inexplicably Franklin didn’t know the two points we’re heading our direction!
that is true, but the point remains. You can't give up that many points to an 0-4 UCLA.
Fair enough.
Allar will not be 1st Team All Big10 let alone Offensive MVP. And neither has any other Franklin QB.
So yet again, Franklin has a way to go to get up to Jay’s level (who is no Vince Lombardi) in the area of QB development.
I win’t lose any sleep listening to Klatt. How about NFL Scouts? They all agree that allar is a bust and plummeting. How about former PSU players? Coaches? Ask them. But hey - what what they know compared to the great Lando?!
I agree with you…yet you persist in trying to discuss football, sports, competition - you know little or nothing in any of those environments.
Why subtract 6 for the punt block? Did UCLA purposely let DDS block the punt? Did UCLA let Clifford scoop it up and score? UCLA did purposely take the safety.
Who are these scouts?
You keep claiming you know players but you clearly don't. You always claim I dont get banned because of who I know then you think I don't know anything. Stay consistent
To clarify, our efforts led to 35 points. That includes a blocked punt. At the moment of the blocked punt I thought we were finding a way to win. ST plays like that often can flip a game, as college football is all about momentum. But Franklin is finding new ways to lose, in this case his ego refused to put a qb spy on Nico in the 1st half and his brain malfunctioned to not recognize the obvious safety that was coming at the end of the game. If we rush the punter there we get at least another play on offense. I am still infuriated by that entire game. It is the worst example of football malpractice I’ve ever seen at any level of football in my life.
We did have a spy on him on most of the long runs (and on the others, it seemed that we were in zone defenses that had several eyes on the QB, but guys made bad reads)...unfortunately, he outran the spy each time and/or the spy bit on a fake (or, in the case of DDS, made a terrible play call on who to use as the spy).
Ahh, in this polarizing season, a point we can all agree on.
Jay Paterno should never have been given ANY responsibility for ANYTHING related to the team. Infamous for his work as the "passing offense coordinator", a huge blunder all by itself, his days as recruiting coordinator laid the foundation for the Dark Years.
Didn't the poster say that "all NFL scouts agree that Allar is a bust". Do most NFL teams seek out a bust in round 3?
It's certainly underwhelming when you consider the hopes for him being a first rounder, but teams don't waste Day 2 picks on guys that they consider "busts". They obviously see something there that they'd hope to get out of him.
I do get a kick out of the idea that coaching and scheming keep a decent player down. Now if they are unmotivated to complete their assignments, that's another thing. And quite frankly, the idea of unmotivated play is reasonable.
Nameless scouts...are they the same that said Sheduer would go in the first?
"They all agree" was the quote which always tells you it's false. Scouts never all agree. Some thought Leaf was better than Peyton.
---Their statement "they all agree" is the 6 or 7 they canvassed not 32 pro scouts --- reading comprehension can be your friend try it sometime--- bottom line Cochise you asked someone if there are scouts out there saying Drew is no better than a 3rd rounder and here it is.. its obviously not all scouts but some are saying it and they get paid to do their job. and the telling quote is the lack of processing development that Drew is showing

There's WAY more than 32 pro scouts--there's 100 and 100s
Bottom line--6 scouts mean absolutely nothing if they're even giving honest info to the media
It shows absolutely nothing at all--which you should comprehend but alas here we are
You have 2 accounts?
I know this might be a challenge for you, but read. NFL Scout feedback on Allar is everywhere and it is not good. And if you actually spoke to the Letterman, you would know not only are you wrong, but very wrong.
I have no idea what your last two sentences refer. I will chock that up the aversion to reading.
Care to make any more predictions about PSU beating everyone but O$U? Or that Allar is playing well?
Find another hobby, Skippy, you are embarrassing yourself.
Does Moo Moo have any eligibility left? I would gladly take him and the turf monster back at this point, and Irvin Charles!
