And here you are two months later obsessing about them....
OT: Brent Pry heading to …
- Thread starter Zenophile
- Start date
Eh. Maybe, but it feels like breaking up with a girl, then being jealous of which of your friends she’s talking to and who she may be dating now. Some need to just let it go.
When he’s trying to convince one of the best coaches on our staff to join him, people should be talking about it. Thankfully, he’s dumb enough to bring back his old defensive coordinator instead of hiring our safety coach.
Plus, he contacted over two dozen possible returning players to gauge their interest in following him, so this is gonna continue to go on for at least another couple weeks.
Did anyone not expect this though? This is how it works. Campbell is currently doing the same thing with the Iowa State coaching staff, and potentially players too?
Banged the same chick - Weiner Cousins.
Right, so their fans should still be talking about him as well. It’s not like you lose the coach and you immediately can’t talk about him. It’s part of the entire process. Which is why I don’t understand why some people here are now saying that Franklin’s gone nobody should be talking about him.
I really feel this post deserves special recognition for how damn funny it is
So Pry left not because of Franklin but because of Penn State?
If they can talk about Paterno then we can talk about Franklin.
I think he left because he was afforded a huge opportunity to be a head coach of a P4 program... Not to mention a big raise. I never got the sense that pry was running away from anything. Just running to something. Those are very different things.
All that said, it's not like I have any information about it. Just my best guess.
Suffice it to say all parties involved were thrilled about this outcome.
Except, as it turns out, he didn't want those things running to.
100% right. James is gonna James. Just watch.
So, then ... success and national relevance, followed by petulant children crying that they deserve better? I would hope VT fans would be more grateful for their shiny new BMW under the tree for Christmas, and wouldn't whine that they want their daddy to take it back because there weren't any fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror, and their old cars all had fuzzy dice (one of which molested children, but I digress).
Nice Herb Hand reference!
A+
he gets it Idiot is a five letter word
Pay attention freshman, maybe you need to take a class on critical thinking
Maybe he couldn’t find anyone to help. It was an issue for Keith Hernandez.
I would hope for them that he just does his job for them. I have no idea what he was doing this year for Penn State.
Thing is, if Franklin can get VT to 8-4 on a regular basis, they could easily wind up making the CCG given how weak the ACC is. Different expectations - I suspect VT will be thrilled. Hopefully, for his sake, James has learned to tone down the "winning championships" rhetoric to keep fanbase expectations in check.
Would be interesting to see Franklin vs. Diaz in the ACC CCG.
No! Not half a year! And not after a playoff semi appearance! The Beamer needs an oil change ... drive it into the ocean! Everybody panic!
Wait ... why aren't mommy and daddy getting me a new Beamer immediately?!? They keep going to the dealerships and keep coming home empty-handed! Fire mommy and daddy, too!
Yes, well said, but something the pom pom girls don't seem to get.
I guess in that 30 seconds someone takes to post about Franklin, they should have been figuring out ways to support our new coach.
Remember...taking 30 seconds to post something on a discussion forum equals obsession, but jumping on people for it every single time is not obsession.
8-4 is where he got hapless Vandy, in 2 seasons. playing in the much tougher SEC. The expectation for Franklin at VT should be a floor of 4 losses, with most seasons being 2 and 3 loss seasons (regular season) ... maybe even better than that. The first year, he gets a pass ... after that he should easily have a pretty consistent 2-4 loss program, at worst.
