Penn State to offer James Franklin

Not sure why anyone would want that job though.

 

Worst kept secret in America

He's practically begged for it

 

ironic

 

he seems to want out of vandy bad

 

Yeah, you'd think they'd want to stay away from someone who could allegedly be involved in a rape cover-up, given their recent history.

 

i didn't think about that. excellent point.

 

I was kind of hoping to lay a few losses on him before he left. So tired of hearing about that clown living in this town.

 

Looks like packing up your office for the third time just might actually be a charm.

 

Has any other coach gotten more attention with fewer accomplishments than James Franklin?

 

lane kiffin is the only one that comes to mind, but at least he beat some teams with winning conference records at Tenn.

 

Vandy had won 9 games twice in it's history before Franklin got there. He just finished his second 9 win season in a row. This with the SEC at an all time high. He's a good coach. I hate him, but facts are facts.

 

Look at the teams he beat and their records. Facts are indeed facts.

 

The SEC West, sure. The East has been waaay down.

 

All but 1 of those wins came against shitty teams. Facts are facts. And the lone good win was against Mark Richt, so even that sort of loses it's lustre.

 

Meanwhile, his division of the SEC is struggling, he had a favorable SEC West schedule for his entire tenure there, and they dropped every hard non-conference game from their schedule via USPS. He did great there, but those nine wins per year can easily turn into five or fewer when the traditionally good teams return to form and he gets a less favorable SEC West schedule. I'd want out of Nashville before the polish comes off the turd too.

 

When they were missing 50%+ of their starters.

 

Y'all are letting you're hatred blind you if you don't think he's a good coach and a good recruiter.

 

He's not. It's common sense, not hatred.

 

I hope he gets pounded in the shower.

 

He did what we couldn't do in the East. With "less talented players."
