Mike Farrell Taking it to PSU

It sounds like he's making excuses for Franklin as to why PSU has been mediocre since O'Brien left.

Bottom line.... Bad clock management, questionable play calling and leaving in star players well after the game has been decided, has nothing to do with sanctions.

I still don't get why they are paying him $630,000 per win. Has to be the highest paid coach per win in the ncaa over the last 2 seasons.
 
They just jumped at the hottest commodity at the time. Thats all.

He had mediocre success and a rape incident over his head at the time. Typical penn state stuff, just trying to quell the football machine and keep the zombies happy
 
Michigan with Hairball and O$U with Meyer has changed the dynamic. PSU is closing the gap from three years ago from average recruiting but it isn't enough. Franklin isn't good enough and his hirings due to coaches bailing on him suggests he will feel more pressure as he goes. I think the negative recruiting is taking some bloom of the rose. That MSU performance was poor after 27 games.

Exactly. Forget the sanctions. There have been plenty of head scratching moments with Franklin as head coach so far; exactly what Vandy fans said when he was still their head coach. He doesn't play Ohio State every game, either. There are still plenty of teams they have played who aren't any good.
