Not unusual for a player to feel the way MRob feels.
New coach
- Thread starter NOYDB
- Start date
I don’t want Rhule, don’t get me wrong.
But the talent difference is the biggest factor in this game, not coaching.

Can’t see Pat Kraft making it much longer at PSU. I don’t know if anyone blames him for canning Franklin, but it’s clear he’s in way over his head finding another coach.
We didnt have more talent than UCLA or Northwestern?
Drawing big conclusions from a single game isn't a good idea
It’s not the things like guys running away from each other that make be think he’s terrible.
It’s the things he has control over like the end of half strategy that made no sense and that his defense just runs itself out of gaps every other play but they continue to do it.
I can watch someone be clueless on an end of half drive and conclude that he’s not really certain how he wants to attack and never figured it out.
So recruiting is more important than coaching?
Wait til we don't have recruits.
That is speculation on Robinsons part. He does not know the plan.
Coaches and their agents leverage their school for more money and they might not even be in the mix. That is their schools problem.
Yet this same Nebraska team is 7-3 and crushed UCLA at the Rose Bowl two weeks ago, the same UCLA team that embarrassed PSU.
I also enjoy listening to him, but saying that was distasteful.
I don't know if he's the right guy but seeing the love these players have for a guy wearing a Joe409 button brings years to my eyes
I don't know how well he can recruit but this team looked like a PSU football team for the first time all year.
Try me….name a few? Let me start for you: O$U in 2016.Give me a tne signature road wins. Purdue?
The reason you will not bite as you know you will make an absolute fool of yourself as there are none!
I can rattle off a bunch that I have attended when Coach Paterno was in charge. Heck, I can name more in one random month than Franklin has in his entire career.
Most have people the better part of a decade…and we are still waiting for signatures win #2.
And guess what, we will never see his first signature road win at PSU. He is a healthy 0 for 11.5 years.
Franklin needed to be fired, period. No matter what happens with the coaching search/hire.
For a little levity from his HS coaching days:
KDKA Investigation: Gateway High School Transfers
One of the stars of the Gateway Gators high school football team will be on the field Friday night. The WPIAL board of the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League has ruled that freshman, Aiden Howard, did not transfer into the district from the North Hills School District for...

Hes terrible. This is getting butchered. Smith ain't the guy. But he might get stuck with him.
MR's comments went beyond speculation. He was overtly advocating for Terry Smith.
I smell something......Terry Smith is trying very very hard to get the HC job, including the recruitment of media personalities to speak on his behalf. MR's advocacy seemed a bit contrived to me.
I respect Joe, but Im sick of hearing about him when it comes to football. Move on people. Do Bana fans have Bear Bryant references in every thread?
Why do you put words in peoples mouths and make strawman arguments where there is no argument. I said what I said and that's all I said. To make something else out of it is you stirring the pot.
Robinson is a former letterman who, I’m sure, is part of the discussion with the other lettermen. Perhaps, he is also revealing the feelings of the group of lettermen? It would be interesting to get LaVar’s take because he is on the sideline for every game and has a son on the team. Will he advocate for Terry also? He usually doesn’t pull any punches, he’ll reveal how he feels on his XM radio show or through social media.
To me, Kraft letting this search drag on as long as it has creates what we had last night- players and fans holding signs in support of Terry, former players including Blackledge fawning over Terry, fans chanting his name. Kraft has now put himself in a corner. Only out is to hire Terry or hire big big name like Deboer etc. Key Chesney Drink won’t satisfy now.
You mean like the players who Rhule conceded physically dominated his team last night?
Don’t know about Bear, but the few Bama fans I know have suggested that steady comparisons of the current regime to Saban may be the reason why an outstanding coach like DeBoer falls into our laps.
Gee let’s see he was only hired last Monday and had recruits visit for the first time yesterday.
Too bad; don’t read them if it offends you so much. I’m sick of the posters with Franklin Derangement Syndrome bashing him in every thread weeks after he was fired, but they have every right to do so. Shouldn’t they move on too?
