"CampbellLION, post: 1649354, member: 6354"]You claim Narduzzi is in demand, I assume you make this statement based on the rumors of him being considered for one of the worst power 5 jobs in the country, then bag about the way he denied the rumors....so he's not in demand? You can't have it both ways.
First no assumption, he was asked, he answered, I don't have it both ways. Somebody from the Press asked him he not only said he was not interested but won't talk about it again. This are facts not assumptions!
So 2 weeks ago the talk was Franklin on the hot seat, now he's gonna make a lateral move to another school? You can't have it both ways. Franklin's not going anywhere anytime soon.
Pretty much after beating OSU and then like you said terrible Big Ten Purdue most websites that weer saying he was on the Hot Seat removed his name, those were CBS Sports, CFN News, they had him on the hot seat not me? Also, Franklin talked about how it was AD Barbour that really helped him before the OSU talking about how PSU is just fine with him, giving him a vote of confidence, so put it on him, he had himself there in his own admission on PennLive. Again, you got it wrong both times not me. Google it on PennLive!
And the Miami rumors were so ridiculous I forgot about them.
Well, that is your PSU Dementia must have what Paterno did when he after it was Sandusky Reported it to the superior he forgot about it too? As well as McQueary after he got his job.
But you say he called a special press conference to deny the rumors? A 30 second google search found he was asked during his weekly press conference, similar to Narduzzi....what would you like Franklin to do different?
Two ways,
1. Narduzzi PC was the Miami Preview PC not a Tuesday PC
and
2. Narduzzi asked and no one could say where that rumor started unlike a source for JF rumblings about JF Interests?
Now lets be accurate shall we by quoting Dennis Dodd exact woods on Franklin in his 1st Point; Article that put out that rumor:
"
James Franklin, Penn State coach: You keep hearing rumblings that Franklin would be interested. Franklin has no ties to Miami but probably would have a better chance to win in the ACC Coastal rather than an increasingly brutal Big Ten East."
(Hmmnnnnn, see the exact quote, by Dodd that JF had Interests and like I said before with PN take it up with Reporters, not me. But you got the quote wrong by Dodd not me and no two ways about it?) BTW, The rumblings were JF status at PSU later he fired his OC and DC & OLC left him. So the rumblings were prove true later???? Some later speculated it was planted by JF Agent looking for an Extension that never came in 2015?)

2. Franklin was on Tuesday at his Weekly PC:
"Franklin expected the question at his weekly press conference Tuesday, wondering why it took 20 minutes to be asked. He also had a response prepared."
(Once again, you can the see the difference how the Morning Call Reported what and how it happen, ask them not me, but they knew and JF came prepared, versus PN asked about it out of the blue, and no Dodd Article before talking about Rumblings?)

Now let us look at what you posted from Franklin and notice how long Franklin went on and on versus Narduzzi's two sentence response, PN could care less and ended it like a Man....JF talked and talked and cried about it and was prepared? Maybe his Agent prepare him or the Rumblings about JF at that time that you admitted you FORGOT?
On Tuesday afternoon
during his weekly presser, Franklin addressed those “rumblings” himself. “First of all, let me say this. I don't like it,” he said. “I think it causes a distraction for our team, I think it's a distraction for Penn State, and I have no idea where it comes from, whatsoever. My family has sacrificed, I've worked my ass off to get to Penn State, to get here, and this is where I want to be. We’ve got a lot of work to do on the field, we’ve got a lot of work to do off the field, in every aspect, but this is where I want to be. Stuff like that, I guess some people can look at it as a compliment, I don't. My focus is 100 percent on Penn State. Like I said, I worked like crazy to get here. Not going to address it anymore, not going to talk about it anymore, this is where I want to be. This is where my family wants to be. This is where my staff wants to be. We got a lot of work to do. That’s really kind of the end of the discussion.
See the differences now??? Between Coaches Responses!!! And Situations at That Time??? Did some of your Fans chase O'Brien out of Penn State as Dave Jones reported maybe Franklin felt unwanted without an Extension too??? One reason other Websites had him on the 'Hot Seat" and many articles did if you google them even earlier this year.
”Your comment about fact checking is a bit ironic.
But to be fair, PN got an Extension in his first year, and JF is till waiting on one and his Assistants he just hired only have 2 Year Contracts? If there is Irony it is on AD Barbour that should JF and his Staffs Extension ASAP not on me!
My picks are PSU over Iowa 26-20. Iowa just doesn't have it together right now and aren't doing enough offensively. Barkley and McSorley are running the read option really well the last 4 games and I think that continues.
Good Analysis and thank you. I see Iowa OLs & LBs better than PSU'S DLs & Ols, but McSorley is so smart and Barklety so good and very unknown on how they will respond, but that 12th player known the 100,000+ Whiteouts is hard to beat at Beaver, so just guess, Total Toss UP!
I think Miami wins something like 45-38. I just don't think Pitt's pass defense will be able to stop Kaaya, but Pitt will score some points too.
I hear you, and can't disagree, and Total Toss Up too, just think maybe Pitt gets a break 36-35, but I thought that on OKSU, UNC, & VT too, Defense did not make it happen? QBs that play Pitt set records and if Kaaya is ready you may be correct?

I like Links top back up opinions, Than you again, and you have a Great powerful Program that Pitt is just trying to create and stay with and it was built by Paterno that was and in my my opinion a Great Coach that earned his 409 wins?
But at the same time stayed too long and should have retired earlier would have avoided this mess cause by PSU Alum GS and Spanier brought much on himself for not enforcing Title IX & Clery Act and jealous of Jioe, and it was him that wanted it BOTH WAYS, keep GS AROUND when JP got rid of him, but caved into to keep JP Money raising? (Can Disagree with me a well, just my opinion how PSU Legacy and Name was Shamed)
Good Luck and post again, I welcome all discussions and you made great points as well. I want a 12-0 PITT, WVU and PENN STATE in NCS Playoffs and even 11-1 so long as we play each other each year, but that is just me.
