New coach

No program should take years to rebuild with the portal
This isn't the 80s or even a decade ago--coaches get 2 years in most cases.
Winning national championships would have made coach Franklin above average too.
If you’re looking for a blind Paterno lover, you’ll have to look at someone else.
I can’t judge blanket “this guy should have played over that guy” arguments without the specifics. I know we had 3 years of Koa Farmer and I know that at no point in either person’s career was he better than Micah Parsons.

That's the reality--not my reality.Only 2 yrs?Folks with that mindset are the problem.
With the portal, results are expected immediately. See what Cignetti, Smart and Lanning did.
Yes, and probably a combo of skill, good luck, etc., etc. That mindset is going to bite a lot of schools when they don’t give it 3-5 years.
Yes. Its called delusional thinking as if retreads from other programs will fill a roster that can compete with the likes of OSU. With revenue sharing most programs will be able to pay their best players so the ones going into the portal are those what could not see the field at their school of choice or if there was a coaching change where the fit was not there. People point to Cignetti as a outcome that can be replicated. Only way it is replicated is if you bring in a good coach with all his players from his previous school or if the cupboards are stacked with talent, not when your recruiting class will be abysmal for 2026 and your roster is picked over by other programs. That is not happening when you are looking at P4 coaches from strong programs.Only 2 yrs?

Ciggie not dominant today.
Drunkwitz losing to Elmo. Elmo is unobtainable.
We aren’t hiring anyone.

The qb that beat PSU today was one of those portal players who actually started for an ACC school last season. Where would IU be without him? Oklahoma’s qb played at WSU last season, and look how he’s transformed that program.
You definitely can get game changers in the portal. The new coach either is going to bring a qb and several other players with him, or bring in a qb from the portal who probably has started somewhere.
Nothing wrong with Grunk, his receivers missed catchable balls, Indiana's receivers made catches of uncatchable balls.
Regardless, this program has absolutely zero depth at that position, so the new coach probably needs to bring in at least two QBs and three if Grunkemeyer leaves.
