  1. Which is exactly why Franklin is the wrong coach for this era. He’s a salesman and little more. If a school needs a brand builder, a fundraiser, he’s good at that. But when money can build you a team without a years long recruiting development process, schools like Indiana can become playoff teams in 1 offseason with a good coach. He’s a terrible game planner against equal or better talent. He doesn’t do defense. He’s had to fire 3 of the 5 OCs he’s hired. He coaches scared in big games. He can’t develop a quarterback and doesn’t know how to hire someone who can. He cant identify when a quarterback has the quality to win a national championship and isn’t able to bring one in through the portal who can.
  2. Seems mostly accurate.
  3. I couldn’t get this to save as a gif to post, but worth the click to watch it spin. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=meso-meso1-02-96-0-100-1&checked=usint-map&colorbar=undefined
  4. Still blows my mind that they park cars on the course for football games and the course doesn’t get destroyed.
  5. Psu called a timeout on the first attempt at the kick and it came up 10 yards short, but Iowa tried it again anyway.
  6. Iowa up 10-7 on psu with 0:06 left in the half they try a ~65 yard field goal. Gets blocked, psu scoops and runs it back for a td to end the half up 14-10
  7. And that will bring Penn state's NHL draft picks on the roster to 4. Those other schools are probably at 10-15. And that’s why PSU probably still falls short of those teams in the playoffs.
  8. Yes, but he’s going to be the first pick in the next NHL draft.
  9. I was hoping they’d hire Brady as OC when they fired Yurcich since he was a GA at Penn state early in Franklin’s tenure, but he was very shortly thereafter made OC in Buffalo. Seems like he’s an NFL guy and a good bet for an NFL head coach job. I do wonder what if any relationship he and Pegula have.
  10. Apparently Franklin tried to get a contract extension this past summer. With 6 years left on a 10 year contract. Thought he deserved it after making it to the semifinals last year.
  11. I’m sure there’s some legalese that prevents him from taking next to nothing, but he should definitely try to take less than he could otherwise get and put it towards players or staff.
  12. Franklin is 53. His ego won’t let his career end like that. He’ll be coaching again in a year or two.
  13. I don’t know what the requirement is, but he’ll have plenty of schools calling him. I wouldn’t be surprised if him going and interviewing for a job is enough to meet the expectation. It’s more about the offset and it applying to any football related activity so him going and doing tv still offsets the buyout. But I expect he’ll end up somewhere like VT. If not for next season the year after.
  14. The difference between Franklin’s buyout and Jimbo’s is that Franklin’s contract has a duty to mitigate that requires him to look for a new job and the new salary offsets the buyout so psu only pays the difference, including if he becomes an analyst not just a coach. Jimbo had no duty to mitigate and there was also no offset if he got a new job, so A&M pays him the buyout no matter what.
