Paterno era when we were Penn State
Completely and totally out coached, with two weeks to prepare this is what you get. Franklin is NOT a good coach.
Agree. Absolutely humiliated. The head coach needs to take a pay cut like Harbaugh did. Team was totally unprepared. Too much emphasis on recruiting during bye week. The players are a reflection of the head coach - soft, lack toughness on the field against equal talent.
We were @ the NW game and the indications were there. Could not impose their will on the worst team in the B1G. Too bad. Will this begin another free fall? The QB position needs to be turned over to Allar. The Clifford era should be done.
Isn't this a redundant thread? The game thread is already a whine fest.
Or even at least recruit any linebackers. They’ve basically signed on a year for the last four years.
After the way he **** the bed in charlotte, why would anybody want ruhle?
Agree. And he said when he took the pro job that he had gotten sick of recruiting. Plus, he makes $838,000 a MONTH for the next 4 years to NOT coach. Why would he want to?!
It sure looks like it. They certainly didn’t use the bye week to correct those problems which have been present for years.
Well, that must make this the "Official" ***** thread.
We will probably never know what the PS coaches did with their 2 weeks off. But we do know what Coach Harbaugh did with his 5 days of practice. He used them to coach his team in how to embarrass Penn State Football and Coach Fraud and beat their *** in every aspect of the game.
If USC rumor was the reason, what a difference a few months makes. Lincoln Riley got the job.This deserves its own thread, but not looking to give Tom more headaches…
USA Today names Franklin #2 Most Overpaid Coach in CFB (behind Fisher); on his fourth contract in 9 years…wow.
The most overpaid coaches in college football? The list starts with Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher
The Aggies' coach, who is in his fifth season in College Station, is making $9 million with no SEC titles or playoff appearances to show for it.www.usatoday.com
Total compensation: $8,500,000
If potential was the standard on which companies based their employees' worth in terms of dollars, Franklin would top this list every year. In his ninth season at Penn State, he is already on his fourth contract. Franklin has won about two-thirds of his games with the school, but for a total compensation of $8.5 million, the Nittany Lions should be dominating the competition. Penn State has won one Big Ten title during his tenure and that was six seasons ago, but it upped the dough when Franklin’s name was attached to the Southern California opening, despite the team being on its way to a 7-6 campaign in 2021.
There seems to be a common misconception...PSU is neck and neck with Michigan in the skill position and DB recruiting rankings, but NOT along the lines. Just using the On3 consensus rankings since 2019 as a point of reference, PSU are certainly comparable (or even better) overall, but except for the occasional Tengwall or Dennis-Sutton they have been significantly out-recruited by Michigan on the OL and DL (based on that point of reference) from 2019 to 2022.
the rhythm method only works if there is a whole to hit
