Franklin took most of the class from Not so Happy Valley to Blacksburg.

And those numbers were more or less flipped prior to Franklin's firing. PSU was in the teens and VT was in the 100+ territory.

Penn State may become UF, flipping coaches each 3-4 years for a decade or 2. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Their fans are over the moon about Campbell. I think he's a good coach, but I don't think he'll win a title there. Probably a 10-win kind of coach, which is what they just fired.

It's a lot like accepting a new job and showing up the first day and the guy who hired you is gone.

Yeah for the pool of non Sexton clients it was a good grab, Dan Mullen looked like a good grab by UF to most of their fan base at the time, but that didn't work out, and they soon got tired of him.

And no one else knows who you are.

They have come out of this looking terrible. One would think a mid season firing gives you a head start on a coaching search.

They came across as clueless.

Time to pull a George Constanza and make it work!

Franklin will do well there. Frank Beamer and Bill Dooley both won there. He will too.

Sounds familiar. If I could only place where I've heard that before...

 

[Evilchicken]

Screw Penn State. They deserve whatever they get for covering up a pervert pedophile in their midst.

That is my estimation. But if he beats a Top 10 team, they'll extend him five years minimum to prove how much better off they are.

They squandered that.
