Just reported on the Herd

[pendal1]

That Franklin and Kraft had a screaming match after the game. I don't think the herd could put this in the public domain if it didn't happen but you never know with the media.
Anyway, makes me wonder was he fired for insubordination or were they yelling after he was fired. Interesting.

Doubt he was fired for insubordination
They both knew he was done. He knew the moment Northwestern slid down at the 3

Of course they could, although I wouldn't be surprised if things boiled over with emotion and there was a shouting match.

Good to know, thanks.

Have heard this as well. Look - best for all if Franklin handles business and we move on to Iowa. There is a lot on the line for both of these men. Franklin found out he does in fact have a boss. Kraft will find out too if he f’s this up.

I will place this in the same folder as Adidas ordered the "hit".

 

[LB99]

A buddy of mine told me about this yesterday. Apparently, it was in the locker room in front of the team.

Agreed but I do think they were more than happy to help with the buyout

Franklin hung around, on the field, after the game. Let his player all go into the locker room. He slowly took a long look around the stadium. He knew it was his last time to soak it up. One way or another, he knew he was done.

Wow. Not good.

Is that accurate? I thought he hung around looking around while waiting for everyone to come over for the alma mater. Then, after it, he went straight to the locker room following the players. But haven't seen video to confirm it.

Dani Dennis-sutton’s quote after the game about “now it’s gonna be a whole nother level of problems” was telling and maybe he had just witnessed this

 

[BobPSU92]

I’m sure tensions were running high after the game, but I wonder what could have been said with the players around that would have precipitated a shouting match.

That would be very unfortunate.

For the love of Cowturd.

 

[Nits1989]

I’d have been surprised if there wasn’t shouting.

Me too honestly

 

[PSU Mike]

If true, maybe PK will be next. Gotta be above that.

 

[LB99]

Again, all rumors and we don’t know the circumstances.

you mean like actually staying disciplined enough to not go offsides on a 3 and 4 on the first series of the game kinda problems?

 

[ConcealedCarry]

AGREED !

 

[Arivacalion]

So ..it looks like it doesn't end with "I love you".

PERFECT!

 

[psu0408]

Not saying this didn't happen, but why would Kraft and Franklin even interact at all after the game in the vicinity of the locker room? Wouldn't Kraft ask to see Franklin in his office or elsewhere?

[Nittering Nabob]

Plausible. Krafty seems like to type to periodically blow a fuse.

At least the players observed a life lesson....someone getting chewed out by their boss for underperformance. If true, it shouldn't have happened in the locker room, but Franklin might have been dismissive of Kraft wanting to engage.

Thanks. Always enjoy your posts and insight.

 

[pamdlion]

If that is the case Kraft is a real tool.

the long slow look around the stadium, the 1000 yard stare, the vague non specific responses "its my responsibility" there was no doubt in my mind he knew he was done when game was over. I assume he was told as much before hand, some type ultimatum and knew was time to pay the piper.......

 

[rudedude]

Kraft said he went to the Lasch building to break the news. Maybe Franklin got into it with some players?

 

[bdgan]

I'd be surprised if they coughed up more money. I wouldn't be surprised if they leaned on PSU to make a change asap because they've committed to a 10 year deal.

I have little doubt they were willing to help chip in...our success matters to them. Losing to UCLA and Northwestern doesn't build a brand. At least not our brand

They're already in for $300 million. I think that gives them a great deal of influence without spending another $50 million.

That was a bull **** call. He got back in time.

Kraft needs to tread very carfully. I remember another AD that was hated by the team. We need some Mauti’s and Zordich’s on this team. It’s desperately lacking in leadership.

Break the news in person? No courier with slip of paper and phone number to call? Odd.

Sounds like the players had Franklins back. Too bad they didnt play like it

Apparently not....Lol

If reports are correct, Adidas is already overpaying for its deal with PSU. If Kraft is looking to them for significant input into his decision, then he'll deserve what he gets.
