I started D-1. Loved my coach. But what do I know. You've let us all know that you're way smarter than us so please, let us sit back and bask in your brilliance.
Actually the better legal approach/practice in a will is to specifically name those that you considered [especially if they are family members] and that you are not providing for them in the will. Makes challenging the will far more difficult. Legal tip for the day
Hail to Pitt!Tip of the day from me,spend it all and let the kids provide for themselves like I did!
This is false. The Senior and Junior classes will be OB's and right from the middle of the sanctions. 2017 will be much better and 2018 will be very good. After that will depend on 2016 and 2017 recruiting classes so we'll have to see.
Not A Good Legal Tip Where Emotions Are Concerns & Cause More Problems! Not required at all in PA, and the best way is to leave the name off, less said the better! Most Heirs are upset if anything is not divided equally, and the smart ones gave it away before the death.Actually the better legal approach/practice in a will is to specifically name those that you considered [especially if they are family members] and that you are not providing for them in the will.

Naming person to disinherit brings on more questions and causes much more pain at a very sad time and will bring on more contesting because now that Disinherited feels shamed and files a Public Contesting! Once that happens everything is Public, and hurtful Family Secrets are easily revealed to embarrass the other way with intent to hurt back. Lawyers love to work especially when cause by other Lawyers and Estates legally end up in the vast majority of settlements anyway in most cases as money dwindles to Lawyers as well as passing time and hurt among litigants get old tiring and family can make up to move on instead of in fighting!
Some leave an Nominal Amount too if the other Heirs are very rich on their own and it was understood before death! The Best Lawyers keep clients out of Court not in it!
Same with Divorce and with Marriage Property Settlement. Smart Couples get one Lawyer they choose together, that files a Divorce for a One Lump Fee and explains the Couple now should decide the Property together so both can move on as soon as possible in a mutual agreement! Keeping clients out of court that cost more with Lawyers after more money is spent over alleged hurts back and forth ends with a Judge eventually deciding anyway.
Later Lawyers meet on Golf Course when over and New Cars bought from money that could be saved if the couple went the way to end it with one Lawyer of their mutual choice avoid hurt and just move on with more money among them and faster too? Smart People stay out of Court! Better Legal Tip Of The Day!

Well, it doesnt take a genius, and luckily, you obviously arent one, but they are our chief rival in most recruits, and this is the busiest month for recruiting... and we play them next year.
Plus, throw in their are one of the most now infamous and nationally disliked teams in the country and they continue to do crazy things, makes for an obvious target for posters.
Just repeating what the announcers were saying. I'm assuming they talked to Franklin before the game, but who knows. Don't really care either, my point is when will the excuses stop for him? Its not like he is playing teams with more than he has now. Other than OSU, Michigan, and Michigan State.
Young recruits ( 16 -18 yrs old ) get caught up in the hoopla that jimmy spews out but once you mature you realize that beating good teams is better than being a cheerleader. If jimmy doesn’t start beating good teams he will be on the hot seat. PSU has spent 9M up to this point on jimmy will very little results on the field. Even hard line PSU fans will want to win big games eventually. His contract is ridiculously high for his results.
“You guys” - PITT Fans
We play each other soon and recruit in the some of the same areas!
Beat it

Good post, I think Franklin is the best thing that happen to Pitt. Pit needed a wake up call to advance its Program beyond Mediocre Winning re-established by Nordenberg-Pederson Era which was also good but seldom Top 25!
I view it like when Majors came to Pitt and Sherrill followed him in the 1970s-80s. Those Coaches that made Pitt a Top 25-10 Program actually advanced Penn State, WVU and Syracuse to greater heights too?
This is why i salute and welcome and do not fear Penn State and WVU becoming better along with Pitt. We should play more and we do recruit against each other and we will make each other better.
Still, it is on Pitt Gallagher, Barnes, and Narduzzi to make that happen,just like Holgrosen and Franklin are doing and up to Pitt to make Pitt a Top 25 Program just like they are trying to do too.
I very much respect and enjoy many WVU & PSU Friend and Grads and going to those games as well.
Still, WVU has to take on Texas, OU, Baylor, TCU, and OKSU, and Kansas State in the Big-12! Penn State has to beat MUS, Michigan, OSU and Big-10 teams more often. Pitt has to beat Miami, VT, Virginia, and UNC and ACC Teams!
Never has there been so many access to see so many great games from Programs that seldom came to our region due to all 3 Programs being 3 ACC, Big-10 and Big-12? I would love to play them win alternate years every year too!
Pitt needs to worry about Pitt's Program but so does Penn State and WVU and being 7-6 and 8-5 is not good enough and all 3 need to improve to become Top 25 Programs again.

Well Captain, I believe by definition the death of a family member is likely to always be an emotional time. The last will and testament is a device intended to carry out the wishes of the decedent--not to make anyone feel better. To the extent a person wishes to specifically not provide for a family member in their will--it is ABSOLUTELY best legal practice to specifically say so in their will. While it is not a legal requirement to do as I suggest in Pennsylvania, be sure, it is ABSOLUTELY best practice by anyone that practices in this area. By doing as I suggest, it will greatly clarify that a will challenge is not likely to be worth the time or effort. Be sure, being quiet on the subject is far more likely to lead to a challenge--and will not make any family member feel better about being left out. Good lawyers always attempt to keep their clients out of court...but positioning your client to best survive a court challenge is also very important strategy. The decedent can also greatly help the cause by letting family members know they are not being provided for under their will. Not an easy topic for conversation, but it is what it is.
As for divorce, your best bet is to have a prenuptial agreement heading into the relationship. As I often say, contracts were intended to be broken or ended--so position yourself best for the likely anticipated outcome. If a divorcing couple were so rational and agreeable to decide the outcome of their divorce without assistance, they likely do not need to be getting divorced. You are obviously free to chose how to handle your affairs any way you want...but you should not be providing poor legal advice when you are not licensed to practice. ***I am not intending to render or provide any legal advice here to anyone specifically and unless a binding lawyer client relationship has been agreed upon. Hail to Pitt!
A lot of people are full of crap, but very few are able to see through one's line of BS. And if you are good at BS, then even less can see through it.
All good points, but avoiding troubles and controversies among family members is usually in the best interests of the clients and once it is explained, the Client still makes the decision. Sometimes people change even after the Will. Clients hire the Lawyer for advice but the Client makes the final call how they want it. Like you say tough time!
Like they say, one Lawyer in Town and he starves to death, if there are two, and you have a mutual advocacy that bring in more money for both with different views and arguments!

I'm not really as smart as the guys posting on here but I do know kids and parents better than most.I've said many times that the 18 year old mind works very strangely. Franklin is a very good recruiter and says what the kids and parents want to hear.He has a nice campus,big stadium,good academics to throw out there.And the biggest plus is he's a black carismadic person that relates to white and black kids!Throw in the fact that parents" usually" go along with what their kids want he's tough to beat in recruiting.He'll get more than he loses.He's going strong because he's telling recruits that they're not winning but his recruits are mostly rs freshman and freshman.He needs them to finish the puzzle and they're buying it.He's not worried about Hack&Johnson being used against him because he's just saying they are not my recruits!He's got one more year of probation and if 2017 is bad Jimmy's Head will roll down I99 into Port Matilda!
Of course he has to start beating good teams. However, given the situation of their program, people who expect them to be competitive with the likes of tOSU, Michigan, or MSU at this point are out of their mind and totally unrealistic. With the situation he inherited, I think they have to give him 5 years.
Well they have had one the weakest non conference schedule for it seems like years. 4.4M for a coach…. 90K fans + 600K alums should expect more.
PSU beat the weak teams on their schedule. Every team they lost to had at least 10 wins. With the sanctions, its unrealistic to expect anything more in the win column.
Right now, he's doing okay on signing day. That should start to pay off in about 2 years. He's still not doing as well as he should be at recruiting. If they want to really have a good program, he needs to recruit better than he's doing now.
Enjoy reading the posts but he really needs to improve his judgments and coaching since his recruiting is pretty good? Needs better Game Plans and Half Time Adjustments! Now that Franklin has the Horses in the Pipeline!
If Franklin can't win 10 games by 2016-17-18, there might not be a 2019 Extension? Or if he loses to Pitt or keeps getting blown away by Michigan, MSU, and Ohio State not to mention Iowa, Wisconsin, and Nebraska that he will be playing by 2018? Eight to Nine Wins won't cut it with big score game losses and no Big Ten Championships based on his salary and resources he has been given to bring Penn State back to the Top 25?
In spite of Franklin's dynamic personality, he is not a favorite among Former PSU Players Alumni. There is still a group of PSU Higher Ups that resent he was hired by Erickson, Joyner, and Trustees viewed as betraying PSU Culture of Football. He also has to be more careful about his compliance issues.

Hey, is it really that much different than since they joined the BIG? PSU has not really been competitive most years with the better teams in the league. Frankly, I do not expect that to change--especially with Franklin at the helm. Just as it should be. Were it not for their pathetic out of conference schedule, and the dregs of the BIG--they would have a losing season nearly every season. Hail to Pitt!
Could be cc or, God forbid, physical impairment.
If Franklin doesn't win 9 games in 2017 he's in big cow dodo!I don't think the people of importance at PSU will tolerate anything less.Remember Ga.had a 9-3 record and fired their coach this year,same thing is possible at PSU.looking at their schedule Franklin will have trouble accomplishing this in my opinion.
The UGA thing is a totally different situation. UGA has been a stable, successful program for years. PSU has been mediocre for about the last 20 years and are pretty much trying to re-brand their program post-Paterno. They should give Franklin more time, but they may not.
I'm not convinced the decision to can Richt was a smart move (no pun intended) However, it has been 10 years since he last won the SEC. Several other schools around the league have been bringing home a lot more hardware. UGA can recruit with anyone, regardless of the coach, so it isn't like recruiting is going to suffer.
I think Franklin can get PSU to the 9 win level once he gets his recruits in there. If I were a PSU fan, I would be much more concerned about what happens once they get there. Because let's be real, his recruiting has to improve A LOT if they are ever going to be a serious title contender. I think a lot of his recruiting problems are due to the PSU image taking a hit and the program being so bad for so long. I also think his recruiting strategy is seriously flawed if he doesn't recruit more nationally. He seems to be mainly focused on PA and the northeast with emphasis on Maryland and Jersey. He's never going to win like that, imo.

Very true and accurate as far as I am concern, agree!

Richt was very loyal and what a Coach should be towards a University, Student Players and Program, he actually turned down Pitt because he did not want to go somewhere just to leave later after rebuilding it? Yet, he is also an example of how a University won't keep a Great Coach without a scandal, breaking rules, and many off field problems avoided, if he can't stay with Alabama or others on NCS! It is what the world of CFB by money has become? Miami is a good place to go home for a Great Coach like Richt!

Wow, excellent analysis at least as I am concern!

Well, not bad in my opinion, but more above average to mediocre than other B1G programs is how I would word it or no longer Championship Caliber since 1996 even with a Top 15 Revenue Resource Program? Mainly due to Paterno choosing the Big Ten and staying too long and not following all the Compliance's or being under Institutional Control?
I also think his recruiting strategy is seriously flawed if he doesn't recruit more nationally. He seems to be mainly focused on PA and the northeast with emphasis on Maryland and Jersey.
Again, first good analysis of someone saying it and that is why you are good poster on the Lair that talks CFB. It is also spot on why Penn State even with a Top 15 Revenue Recruiting Resources Program is still losing and behind Ohio State, Michigan and others that do recruit Nationally and from Midwest to Atlantic to South! At one time, when the Northeast was bastion of great Recruits & Players that was fine for one days drive from Penn State, but that is no longer suitable with so many other Programs that rose up and Big Ten Michigan and OSU still dominate the B1G in most years more than other B1G Programs including PSU!
He's never going to win like that, imo.
It is my sources that say the same thing, and if Franklin cannot live up to winning 10 Games with Top 25 Recruiting, he won't last at Penn State either? They will replace him with a Penn State Grad Coach like Munchak, Ruhle, or someone else? Franklin own self bravado will come back to haunt him, if he can't beat Michigan, OSU, and MSU more often, and to be fair that is hard for any coach to do too? Franklin Domination already has cracks and learning just how tough his challenge has become for him, his staff, and Penn State? Many Programs have done great in recruiting but not as much coaching and winning against coaches and programs at other schools, just ask Richt about that too?
Very good post and thank you!
