Are they looking for a coach to lose to UGA and LSU regularly ?
There's no way. Not possible. Some PSU fans want him gone. If Pitt had an opening and he wanted to come here, I doubt he'd get the job.
I know every fan wants more, but he probably has them pretty close to maxing out.
Yea, I mean they almost never lose to anyone but OSU and Mich. Hard to fault that.
Jimmy i know rape when i see it.
He will rock at Bama, will last 2 years
Losing to uga auburn and 2-3: more.
I know that saban is smart enough too
bag jimmy boy.
But is their AD?
This will show if pervert state really wants to contend or just pretend to be big time.

Yea. He cant beat good teams but there is something to be said for going 10-0 vs trash every year. A lot of decent teams would slip up once or twice vs the B10 JV teams. He doesn't

I'll put it this way, Franklin might not be the Bama guy but it's easy to imagine he could backfill into another SEC HC job once all of this shakes out.
Because the B10 JV teams stink and PSU has a huge budget for football comparable to Michigan and OSU.

That was the school I was thinking about.
Yeah, that's about the level I see him as. Possibly Florida State, also, if Alabama did go the Norvell route and they had a pathway out of the ACC.
Not sure where the Auburn stuff comes from. Franklin just beat Auburn pretty handily 2 straight years...... But I don't believe Bama is interested in Franklin.
It is as if many people cannot see obvious trolling when it's right in front of them.
More to the point - the OP is a buffoon under that handle and snaphook.
Franklin is easily replaceable. There would be 8-10 really good coaches lined up for the PSU job. And the next PSU coach will be able to recruit at a high level also but occasionally win a big game
LOL
LOL
Penn State is licking their chops at being able to replace Franklin and get paid the buyout to do it, but Bama isn't going to be that stupid.
Those fans will run him out of town after two loses.
Didn't they do that to Curry or Stallings? even burn their house.
Disagree. He isnt good enough at coaching. PSU is a perfect spot for him because he has a tremendous recruiting advantage over anyone within 300 miles. To his credit, he had maximized that advantage but he has an entire region of the country to himself. And he still cant beat anyone good. Everyone has talent in the SEC. I could see him doing well at a place like Clemson if Dabo goes to Bama because he can recruit better at Clemson than anyone in the ACC there and he wont have to beat OSU and Mich
He's only two years removed from back-to-back losing seasons in conference, so I wouldn't say he always beats those teams with less talent and only loses to OSU and Michigan.
Franklin doesn't have the pedigree for Bama, but in fairness, few really do. I imagine it will be the guy from Washington or Norvell.
Well he had Vanderbilt punching well above its weight class, so if he can up the standard of recruiting then it's a good start. College football is like 80% recruiting and 20% coaching.

They aren't buying him out. That's nonsense.
If they wanted to make a move, they'd have done it a month ago during the coaching roulette period.
