I think you could question him in a lot of games. But I also think he's influenced by Franklin's obsession with explosive plays so rather than keep things basic (read: in a pouring rain against NW), he constantly tries to go for the splash plays. Harbaugh's game plan has been perfect -- keeping it basic and taking everything the defense has given them. When McCarthy goes back to pass, it's almost a godsend.

It was a blown call. As i pointed out in an earlier thread, 44 made contact while Clifford was still running. At that point, its a legal block. There was no contact when the ball was in the air
Ball does not have to be in the air for offensive pass interference.
their offensive line is dominating us, their running backs can jump cut to homes whereas ours just go straight ahead..
I hate to say it, but Michigan is just better than PSU.
There's always next year, or the next year or the next year
Yeah, that's fair, but then he should leave honestly. We just suck at certain things, like short yardage. We never pitch the ball to the outside, run a RB screen, keep defenses off balance. We have been one of the very worst 3rd down conversion teams in the country for years. To compound everything, when things don't work on the first few series and we fall behind in a game, you can count on a slow developing QB draw followed by a few wasted fade routes that never had a chance.
Cliff has been in the medical tent, so Allar is coming in for PSU
Franklin will manage 8-10 win seasons, a decent bowl and perpetual 3rd best in conference. As for "elite", not so sure. Franklin's teams always struggle with fundamentals.
Franklin's Post Game Press Conference: "Well obviously we didn't play well today, but that's not on me. I checked at halftime and PSU did deposit another $750,000 into my checking account today".
Unless a wealthy alum is willing to buy out Franklin’s contract, this is PSU football. I posted earlier in the season that they don’t care about being elite. They just want us to keep filling the stadium and taking in their TV money.
Yeah. In 5 years. No way this program can buy out $80 million and pay another coach.
I love how we do the check with me on the sideline and then nobody is open anywhere.
Where we've been pretty much since the late 90s- people here remember a history we never had
First, Rhule hates to recruit. Second, he gets 838k a month for the next 4 years to NOT coach. I would take Fickell or Al Golden....
we shouldn't, this has been an annihilations but I don't think we need to let them hand 40 on us if we can prevent it.
He needs to be driven out of town via a "controversy" to negate the buyout.
How can anyone support this anymore? Stop the rationalizing please. This program is garbage after how many Franklin years? Stop the Covid crap, the great recruiter crap etc.
this is embarrassing and who we are. I need to accept it…it’s difficult. But we are nothing anymore than a middle of the pack has been. So disappointed
Meyer is the only one available to change this ship around so quickly...maybe 2 others...the rest are a gamble...
For the many coaching faults, he’s a good man. I can’t see him giving the University cause.
