New coach
- Thread starter NOYDB
- Start date
There was no alternative at WR or LB. The rest of those guys are flipping coins
There’s a reason that the AD was the one announcing loudly and publicly that PSU was in need of WRs in the portal, not the coach
Nate Bauer talked about this difference of opinion between them extensively in the podcast the week after the firing.
Yup. And now we are all clamoring for Franklin’s young recruits at WR and LB to play more. How ironic.
Don’t take it the wrong way. He clearly would love some 7-5 seasons.
Only if they end with the Motor City Bowl in Detroit. If not, then I’ll take 5-7, 3-9, 0-12.
No I wouldn’t, but how’s it any different than all the “fans” on here that have been cheering on Franklin’s demise for years and hoping he would lose every game? I hope we get a home run hire, but I’m pretty confident we won’t. I don’t think there’s a coach out there that can do much more than Franklin did (see the last 25 years of Paterno’s career).
They will regret not signing Fran/Elijah combo.
The publicity alone would bring in studs they are now losing.
I don't know about regret, but they are worth giving a shot, and
makes sense Recruiting would be a major bump, and he would
get just about whoever he wants in the portal. He has more upside
than Rhule and advantage with recruiting over Manny.
Most coaches on PS fans lists will be in the playoffs, timing and roster
retention is critical.
Sounds like his agent threw that out for attention
Representatives or Texas coach Steve Sarkisian have let NFL decision makers know he would be interested in potential head-coaching openings, including the Tennessee Titans, according to Diana Russini of The Athletic.
None of those QBs played for the current staff at any of those schools. I don't think Sherrone Moore is getting a Tom Brady bump.
Unless something changes drastically it's going to be Matt Rhule. That's the info I got last night. I was so upset I had to sleep on it. A perpetual 7-5 here we come. I just don't get it
OK I'm publicly eating my words. Throw all the lists out.
And this is why I agreed 100% with the decision.
I don’t know that they’ll get somebody better than the Franklin we had up until this season. I do know the Franklin we had this season could be easily upgraded going to the high school ranks. He was not into doing his job this season. That can never be allowed to happen. Certainly not at $8,000,000 a year.
We know what you do with those corn cobs.
Yesh, but recall one recruiting class in those early 00 years had 11 members and we know why 14-15 was depleted. Bad luck had contributed to this years issues but more than that it seems these kids just aren’t ready to play. Kind of stunning.
Rhule in his introductory PRESSER. at PSU:
“We won’t always be good, but we’re going to try. I guarantee you that.”
at PSU:“We won’t always be good, but we’re going to try. I guarantee you that.”
If that is true, Kraft needs to be fired immediately. He is guaranteeing mediocrity.Unless something changes drastically it's going to be Matt Rhule. That's the info I got last night. I was so upset I had to sleep on it. A perpetual 7-5 here we come. I just don't get it
I can't disagree but that is the conventional wisdom at this time. We can always pray that something changes. And pray we beat the snot out of Nebraska when they come to town.
Those fans who don't want Ruhl better make Kraft's phone ring off the hook and make his email crashe due to the volume of emails saying no way..
The recruiting numbers of the early 2000’s didn’t matter as much as the recruiting quality stunk. No sanction. No restriction. Just badly misjudging on talent.
Wow. So, the powers that be would rather be mediocre with a PSU guy above all else? Can we dress him in rolled up khaki’s and coke bottle glasses and pretend that it is the 1980’s to make everyone feel better also?Unless something changes drastically it's going to be Matt Rhule. That's the info I got last night. I was so upset I had to sleep on it. A perpetual 7-5 here we come. I just don't get it
Seems that way for now but I'm hoping something happens at the negotiating table. Pray I've been heavily smoke screened.
The dark years coincided with Jay’s run as Recruiting Coordinator
Yes because the defensive coordinator is working out so well for us.
