"medixman, post: 698357, member: 28301"]In fairness to Franklin your only as good as your assistant coaches.
Paterno did not wear any Headset, but would watch from the sidelines and coach up his Players as they came off the field! Or yell out, time for a long pass, and all his Assistants were running their jobs even when Paterno was in the Box recovering during his illness and leg healing!
Franklin's looks very confused on the sidelines and often yelling with his coaches?
Franklin selected his Assistants and often boasted how loyal and long term they have been with him on Friday before the MSU Game, until he fired Donovan on Monday?
How much actual coaching does a head coach do during the game?
Apparently, in the B1G most do better and more than Franklin is showing the last 2 years!
In his case his oc wasn't very good,so he did what he had to do with him. Even at Vanderbilt his offensives were ranked low nationally.
Hmmnnn, not according to BWI Cult Posters?
Its the head coach's job to get the players and then oversee their development but the assistant do the coaching.
Well, Hackenberg a 5 Star Recruit at QB has not improved since O'Brien has left, nor the OL? Franklin is not doing what oversight he is suppose to do now for 2 years, even with Top 25 Recruiting Classes?
PSU defense is in good hands and will play at a high level because of the coaches.
Agree, but they get worn down by and after Half Time!
In my opinion Franklin brought in Moorhead because he was a former head coach and oc.
And a pretty good one at that plus will help recruit Western PA & Central Catholic Grads!!!
Franklin needs help in game management and I think Moorhead is the answer to that.
1. This is where I disagree, many on BWI and here on the PSU Posters Lair say Franklin did great at Vandy and so he had it there, but now needs more time at PSU?
2. Moreover, Meyer, Harbaugh and Dantonio have it already and you say Franklin is still learning it, does not bode well for Penn State Players on Game Day?
3. In my view, a Great Head Coach already knows how to handle that aspect of the game, and if he doesn't he usually fails sooner or later.
4. It is like Power, some say Perception of Power is just as good as having Power, but that is outright false myths of the blinded fools. True Power is the one thing you mist have and one either has it or not, it is the one trait that cannot be faked!
Same goes for CEO Coaches Clock Management Skills, you either have it or don't, and No Assistant can teach it to you and only the Head Coach is calling those shots at Games! If Franklin does not have it now, doubtful it coming later???
Especially against Harbaugh, Meyer, Dantonio and Ferentz this year?
Plus he runs a pretty good offense from what I can tell.
Well, if he can teach that to Franklin we shall see, but not a good thing Franklin needs it now?
Franklin needed to address the offense and he did it but probably he hated to. If you ever had to fire a friend you know what I mean.All this said they still lose to Ga!
Good post and thank you for your insight, we shall see, and Franklin does need to be judge after 2016-17, to be fair, but Meyer and Harbaugh didn't need more time or a plan!
