Narduzzi & Harbaugh Same Coaching Philosophy Unlike Franklin!

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

After watching Michigan's Harbaugh & Staff clobber Penn State holding Penn State at 70 Yards Rushing while sacking and beating up QB Hackenberg even giving up Big Passing Plays, along with some very bad Ref Calls.

Pitt's Narduzzi & Staff taking apart ULou's Petrino's Team holding the Cardinals to -1 Yards Rushing while giving up Big Passing Plays, and making stops and sacks that forced a QB change, with the same Bad Ref Calls?

I saw the same things happen and similar comparisons by Pitt Narduzzi & Michigan's Harbaugh as both may win 10 Games!

Narduzzi & Harbaugh Same Coaching Philosophy!
Both Create Good Game Day Plans
Both Coach Up Players To Execute!
Both Make Half Time Adjustments!

BOTH SIMILAR DEFENSES:
Both Teach Stop The Run First!
Prevent TDs Force FGS!
Speed & Angle Pursuit!
Cover The Wide Runs!
Big Pass Give Up Ok!
Blitz & Pressure QB!
Smash Mouth Hits!
Cause Turnovers!
Never Quit!

BOTH SIMILAR OFFENSES:
Establish The Run!
Ball Control Minutes!
Make 3rd Down Plays!
Protect Ball Against Turnovers!
Great Clock Management!
QBs Consistent Less Mistakes!
All Players Block, Block, & Block!

SPECIAL TEAMS:
Will Use Trick Plays!
High Field Goal Percentages!
Great Coverage Containment!
Both Have Special Team Coaches!

When I compare Franklin to both Harbaugh and Narduzzi here is what I did not see the last 24 Games so far in Franklin's Coaching at Penn State?

First off Franklin had 2 Weeks to prepare Penn State for Michigan and it was a waste of time as well as the Whiteout and Fans in the Stands that made no difference in the lost to Michigan. Not one Smart Recruit had to be impressed with that kind of coaching?

Penn State Players are not disciplined on their assignments just like the other 10 games this year and 13 last year? The execution was terrible and QB Hack Attack was just throwing up balls in hopes they were caught?

Penn State has all these Great Recruits on the bench and playing on Special Teams but lack speed, can't tackle, block and muffed Punts and Field Goals?

Franklin & Staff have little to no Half Time Adjustments, and this factor alone reveals the lack in his coaching staff and abilities within himself as Head coach to get it done after 24 Games?

The Penn State Wideouts run terrible pass routes, lack focus on catching the balls, and loved to push off on the DBs and then cry Interference. This si what upset Harbaugh so much on the Refs. This was the 11th game the Wideouts are worse than they were in the First Temple Game and it is not all on Hackenberg?

Barkley is being wasted as a Talent and it is not a blocking problem, it is outright Junior High Coaching Play Designs, Play Calling and repeated failures as if that will fool the Defense. All the Defense Players do is run towards the ball, take proper angles, and make the tackles and bingo the Penn State Runs are blon up before they start?

Barkley just needs a small tad opening and he is gone. So they run him wide and Barkley was stuffed or chased down, except for one play? There were no shovel passes to him that would have open him up for big runs, but the Penn State Coaches are too stupid to know it? Smart recruits will see this and only dumb ones will fall, see we need you. when the all the Penn State Players really need way better Coaching!

When Penn State holds the next High School Coaching Clinic the High School Coaches should go to the one that is taught by Harbaugh & Staff! It brings back memories when Jay Paterno asked Walt Harris if he could call him and talk about QB Coaching, and Walt said, NO!

It is funny, even when Pitt gives up a big play, their Players still go and catch up by tackling the other Players on the 5 or 7 Yard Line as taught by Narduzzi. Yet, when Franklin Teams have the ball within 10 Yards of the Goal Line with 4 downs, you just know the Play Calling gets worse and that has been happening all season long under Franklin?

Franklin has to have three ESPN Analysts lecture him on not using 52 Seconds before the half being behind by a few points to throw long bombs that is Hack Attack best throws? A sign of a bad to average Head Coach with terrible Clock Management that cost him wins last and this year? ?Franklin is so confused he calls Time Outs at the wrong times, or not getting the plays off, or taking too much time to figure out what to do, then calls time out after important seconds pass and prepare the Defense to stop his players? This is not on the Players Talent or Execution or Assistant Coaches, it is only on masking poor Head Coaching Decisions and it can't be taught at his age, Franklin just lacks it!

The Penn State Football Program has everything going for them, the Talent, Recruiting Camps, Revenues, Salaries for Coaches, Attendance Crowd Noise, Two Weeks Prep Time, 7 Home Games and 2 Years or 10 and 23 games to get it all together......but they lack Good Coaching.

The Best & Brightest of Penn State Fans know because they see it, and another 3 years won't change it!

Has Harbaugh taught his punter how to fall on a football?

Duzzi's clock management was spot on against UNC? And how about the great game plan and adjustments versus Notre Dame?

You can dissect anything and spin it how you want. Harbaugh had a nice year. 9-3 would be a great year one for Narduzzi. However, Narduzzi is exactly like Franklin in one sense...when facing a team where there was a big gap in talent, they both got boatraced.

I would take Harbaugh all day everyday over Franklin or Narduzzi.

Temple had a big gap in talent? Illinois last year? Heck I would even say Northwestern didn't have as much talent.

Both Harbaugh and Narduzzi made Kicking Mistakes as well known, the Iowa Kicker got a second chance before kicking and Coach Pat admitted that was his mistake. As well, As Harbaugh having to endure that loss to MSU now in front of his Wolverines even if he beats OSU?

Now compare that to Franklin's Multiple Coaching Mistakes from Temple in game one to Michigan game 11th, and perhaps you can learn some football like Coach Pat at 8-3 & Harbaugh at 9-2 unless you think their mistakes are worst than Franklin 7-4 with a weak OOC at Home?

Duzzi's clock management was spot on against UNC? And how about the great game plan and adjustments versus Notre Dame?
Coach Pat admitted in his last PC he wished he could play UNC & ND right now again, after all your own football logic is flawed is it not??? Coach Pat Team came together in its 10th and 11th games and Pitt Players had to learn not to drop balls, block and tackle better in 8th and 9th Games, in Narduzzi's First Year. Yet, Franklin is on his second year and 24th game and still not learning from his coaching mistakes????

Franklin bragged his Team played complete Games against Indiana his 6th game with no Indiana QB! Then got beat badly by half time by OSU? Frankin barely beat Maryalnd by 1 point and then proclaimed a solid complete game his 9th Game against Illinois a one dimensional Passing Team with no Head Coach? Then dropped 2 games to NW away and two week prep Michigan at home? You Call that progress?????

Kind of takes the Franklin Wins out your sails in that too, more like Franklin's Coaching has "Gone With the Wins" in the Big Ten after bragging about his SEC wins earlier this year???

You can dissect anything and spin it how you want.
No I am not, only you are spinning and making excuses for Franklin's poor coaching and if your Football knowledge is this limited that is your problem is it not, again? Do You Really Think Franklin has done better job at Coaching than Harbaugh and Narduzzi this years....please share with us how you believe it???

Harbaugh had a nice year.
Not over could go 10-3 and he won one or two by close games and lost 2 by close games! Franklin did what again and whom did he beat at Home, dregs and below average teams?

9-3 would be a great year one for Narduzzi.
Well, we have to wait on that too, and could still go 8-5 or 9-4 or 10-3 too! I do know Franklin can't go higher than 9-4 and most likely 8-5 or 7-6!

However, Narduzzi is exactly like Franklin in one sense...when facing a team where there was a big gap in talent, they both got boatraced.
Not really, you just lack good vision, Iowa that is 10-0 needed a last minute kick, UNC took advantage of Pitt players poor execution on drop passes and blocks, as did ND that was more talented, but Narduzzi teams got better each game, that is not happening with Franklin is it????

Furthermore, Iowa, ND and UNC are all ranked ahead of Temple, NW, OSU and Michigan and they pretty much exposed Franklin all season long, unlike how Harbaugh and Narduzzi improved their Teams?

I would take Harbaugh all day everyday over Franklin or Narduzzi.
No one is surprised at that, I would do the same but I would take Narduzzi easily over Franklin that you keep making excuses for in his second year? LOL!

I didn't care for the many cheap shots our players took from MSU during that 7 year span. The RR guys were too small to fight back, and the Hoke players took his soft mentality.

If that hadn't happened against my team, I would be more than happy to land PN. If I was forced to choose one, I would take him all day, and every day, over Franklin. I have seen nothing to indicate that he shouldn't be named the new Hoke.

He is not Mrs Wannstedt. He is Mrs Franklin. His act is old. Why is here? TD, all you do is discuss and defend Franklin, Lane Kiffen and thinking football is actually a fantasy game where all you do is accumulate talent.

Can you just please leave us alone and go on the Penn State board? Your boy JF needs you more there than here.

Also, can we start a new group? "Panthers For Franklin"? Here's hoping James from State College, remains in State College.

Wanny makes Franklin look like Belicheck.

As for this statement:

Wanny sometimes got boatraced when facing a team with LESSER talent. And only one time in his entire career did he beat a team with equal or greater talent.... 12/01/2007.

I am sure I am the only one who things this but I would not trade Narduzzi for Harbaugh. First Harbaugh is not likable. Second, he is not someone who will stick around for very long.

Narduzzi is likable. He's a great coach. He has all the coaching skills of Harbaugh just with less HC experience. Also Narduzzi is Italian. We need a great Italian coach in PA...we've never had one until now.

 

[Hero of the Oppressed]

speaks volumes about Franklin and his/offensive coordinator play calling, time out strategies, 4th down strategies, over all special teams.

You don't see these mistakes and confusion with the best head coaches. Lest we forget that Franklin was also the head coach at Vandy and many of his current assistants where with him their.

 

[raleighpanther]

If you want to see a negative opinion on Franklin's coaching ability, just go visit the BWI board. Most are fed up with him.

One very patient guy said that the jury is still out on him, that he won't know how good Franklin is until after he gets all of his recruits in and they mature. Well, with a little less than one year in for Narduzzi, coaching the guys he inherited, the jury is very much IN! He's a very good head coach. The guy is really building a program, shown himself to be very good game day coach with great halftime adjustments, and has a well disciplined team that plays with passion, and generally executes well.

The evaluation of Franklin is not based on number of wins. Inherited talent and depth impacts that, as it does for Narduzzi. But Franklin's offense looks lost and confused, with no identity and a poor game plan. And most of the BWI posters complain about very poor tackling on defense. Franklin is at the end of year five as a HC, and year two with PSU. He'll probably win more with better recruits, but who wouldn't? How far he will take those recruits is the real question, and from what we've seen so far, its not promising.

 

[ncyajleel]

What is funny is those attacking Narduzzi. You DO realize that of the three coaches mentioned, he has 5 times less experience than Franklin and 11 times less experience as Harbaugh? So a coach who has no experience as a head coach has taken a team that has been 6-6 the last four years with what players some of you have labeled as having no talent ,mostly 2-3 star rankings, and made them 8-3. Meanwhile Franklin and Harbaugh have kids with 3-4-5 star rankings and have done pretty much the same thing as Narduzzi, (Pitt 8-3, PoSU 7-4, Michigan 9-2). Both Narduzzi, first year coaches of their respective teams, will most likely finish 9-3, while Franklin in his second year will most likely finish 7-5, one win better than last year.

I don't like the star rankings, but unfortunately that is the only way we can rank them.

I have not seen Cheap Shots by Pitt Players or Michigan as far as I am concern this season. They both hit hard and leaving other Players numbing, that is Good Defense and many take that as Cheap Shots! I can't argue with you because I did not see the MSU-UM Games you talked about! But I am being factual, I have seen Pitt Players far tougher and hitting harder! I think Pitt is one of the least penalized Teams in th3 ACC and CFB this year too!

If that hadn't happened against my team, I would be more than happy to land PN. If I was forced to choose one, I would take him all day, and every day, over Franklin. I have seen nothing to indicate that he shouldn't be named the new Hoke.
I think I am spot on on about Harbaugh and Narduzzi, they both say the same thing as I have heard in my own ears, STOP THE RUN WITH GREAT DEFENSE, AND ESTABLISH THE RUN WITH GREAT OFFENSE, BALL CONTROL WINS GAMES! Both are winners as Coaches and Harbaugh has been doing it for years,m but Coach pat just for 11 games?

I would take either, anmd happy with Narduzzi because Harbaugh went back to help out re-establish Michigan football, and Narduzzi only wanted to come to Pitt and turned down other jobs until Pitt made It for him! Both have hard nosed football character! Narduzzi was part of MSU that return MSU to winning big in the Big ten and took on the Michigan Program! Just like he said he would take on Penn State! The Niitany lions are not happy with Franklin but the Panthers are delighted with Coach Pat! NFM!

Excellent Post and very truthful in content, the BWi Cultits Posters cannot stand Franklin loses to Michigan, Meyer, Dantonio, Fitzgerald or Ruhle and know that same is coming with Narduzzi and so they attack Coach Pat winning while trying to defend Jimmy Franklin losing! Penn State like Scott Paterno learned to attack other Universities, Coaches and Programs from Joe Paterno and they can't stand it that was exposed before he died as Joe cried about his legacy, and Scott the Sins of Father!

Instead of complimenting other Programs and Coaches they prefer to dump on them, and that was the Penn State Way created by Paterno that is no longer respected anymore!

Shhhh, Penn State Fans hated Johnny Majors and Jackie Sherrill too, and they hate Harbaugh too! They are back telling Nittany Lies so they can feel better!

So a coach who has no experience as a head coach has taken a team that has been 6-6 the last four years with what players some of you have labeled as having no talent ,mostly 2-3 star rankings, and made them 8-3.
Shhh, again logic and facts don't matter at Penn State just Myths and Magic Made Up Slogans!

Meanwhile Franklin and Harbaugh have kids with 3-4-5 star rankings and have done pretty much the same thing as Narduzzi, (Pitt 8-3, PoSU 7-4, Michigan 9-2). Both Narduzzi, first year coaches of their respective teams, will most likely finish 9-3, while Franklin in his second year will most likely finish 7-5, one win better than last year.
Make that 7-6!

I don't like the star rankings, but unfortunately that is the only way we can rank them.
Narduzzi said, the Staff got those wanted to come and be part of Pitt Football and he is happy with he got, and he has coached them up, has he not, now you know why the Nittany Liars mouths are out as they have been shut up by Winning Teams!
