Yes. Let's hope the guy that just gave Pitt the best back to back seasons in 40 years bolts. Tell us again about the greatness of Jeff Haffley.God willing.
I think they are mulling whether he sucks enough as a coach and what level of replacement they’d be able to land. I don’t think what he did bothers them in the least. It’s a way to possibly try to right a bad hiring mistake, but I don’t think they are quite sure they could land a better replacement at the moment, so they’re pondering that, and only that. These football factory schools don’t care in the least about anything that these coaching gods do.I'll wait for me info to be released. According to Tucker, they were in a relationship. Should he be fired for getting off with the person he was dating while on the phone with her after she called him? It's not even close to equivalent to something like allowing a child abuser to keep being around kids. In fact, besides being stupid, what is he actually guilty of?
Some of the rumors floating around are saying that there has been an investigation that has been ongoing for many months now. It's been kept quiet for a lot of obvious reasons. The privacy of the accuser and restraining from casting doubt on the accused if the investigation ends up showing there was a whole lot of nothing. The whole thing got leaked after a briefing to the trustees so this feels like someone has an axe to grind or there is regret over that stupid contract. Either way, the guy is probably "consulting" at Bama next year and enjoying a nice settlement on his buyout. Whether or not any of the allegations are true or not won't matte except to the woman who is getting death threats and won't enjoy the luxury of a buyout.I was completely wrong here
Saw Michigan St did know since december, and never said anything until a reporter found it and released it... So Michigan St did nothing again, did not walk the walk, and should get sanctioned

this is really all you need to writethere is regret over that stupid contract.
So much of being a FBS head coach (particularly the so-called "Power Five") is recruiting. Tucker gets laughed (or thrown) out of the homes of maybe 75% of recruits who have parents.I'll wait for me info to be released. According to Tucker, they were in a relationship.

I didn't read an article on this but I guess tucker masturbated and you're comparing that to punching a womanMike Haywood also contended that his wife’s face consented completely to his fist pummeling it
Absolutely no parents seem to throw James Franklin out of their homes, and he incontestably enabled the rapes of untold coeds by his players, including going to a hospital and threatening to kill one of the girls who considered pressing charges.So much of being a FBS head coach (particularly the so-called "Power Five") is recruiting.

People are perfectly fine with scumbags WHO ARE ON THEIR SIDE as their leaders.He should run for President. Cheating on his wife only through phone sex is so lame in comparison. Nobody cares about morals anymore. MSU will fire him for being a scumbag but America is perfectly fine with scumbags are leaders. I cant understand this.

But if it’s any consolation, this has been true throughout the history of the US…heck the world, really.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Good lord, dude.
He absolutely did…the former and the latterI doubt he threatened to kill anyone but he probably has overseen more rapes than anyone else out there.

Ok you go with thatFranklin is a scumbag but I can't believe he would threaten to kill anyone.
Ok you go with that
Michigan State coach Mel Tucker suspended amid investigation into sexual harassment of rape survivor, activist
Details of the complaint filed by Brenda Tracy -- a rape survivor and well-known activist -- were revealed Saturdaywww.cbssports.com
Why does this keep happening in the Big10? Michigan State has already had their massive scandal, and this sounds like another.
You’ve never done that? I figured everyone has.Consensual or not, do you want your head coach to be whacking it on a phone call?
As a society we sadly seem to pick and choose when we decide which victim to believe or not to believe. And as a father of three females, I tend to believe the woman. But this one is weird. Unless Tucker is arrogant enough and ill enough to do it to a woman who does this for a living.
and well-known activist = stay the hell away from her.......a lot more to this story. Poor gal was physically unable to hang up the phone for 30+ minutes of phone sexual harassment.
In sports it’s particularly true.As a society we sadly seem to pick and choose when we decide which victim to believe or not to believe. And as a father of three females, I tend to believe the woman. But this one is weird. Unless Tucker is arrogant enough and ill enough to do it to a woman who does this for a living.
Not everyone, trust me. And to put a finer point on it, feeble old Rooney said at least Harrison was trying to do a good thing.In sports it’s particularly true.
In Pgh, if it a Steeler or other popular / successful athlete, fans and media always support and believe the player.
One infamous period, there were two domestic incidents with two Steelers and their wives at about the same time.
James Harrison was one; in their dispute he literally picked up and threw his wife through a wall (!).
The other was a reserve WR (Wilson? Forget full name), in that case, they had a dispute and his wife shot HIM, if I recall.
The Steelers (and media and fans) instantly forgave Harrison, Art III even gave some gushing interview about it. Not a thought of any discipline or certainly not to release him.
Wilson, being an expendable reserve, was instantly released. No gushing testimonial there.
There are tons of similar stories. Penn State rapes, nobody in this town thinks were/are a problem at all. If a Pitt guy fights some thug on the south side, ban the program for life.
Politicians, similar. A guy on YOUR side, anything goes. Dems worship Bill Clinton, Hunter Biden etc. Republicans are totally fine with Trump’s alleged misgivings (many profess to “not like him” but only because he’s no now unwinnable.). Nobody believes he did anything to the parade of women the Dems found to rant about him. No Dem believes all the women who Clinton allegedly worked over.
Stinks but exactly how it is.
Rooney justified it because he said Harrison was just trying to get his son baptized. He went off the deep end late in life. Of course many of us do. He should have run for US Senate. Would have fit in perfectly.Not everyone, trust me. And to put a finer point on it, feeble old Rooney said at least Harrison was trying to do a good thing.
And yea it was Cedric Wilson.
All true. I also think it’s a cultural thing. Not to sound like a certain poster on this board who holds boomers accountable for all the worlds problems, but whether it was politicians, Hollywood producers, or business tycoons, it’s what men did. And when we elect old men like our last couple of presidents and half of congress, these things are going to be a part of their past more often than not. It’s changing though. We are evolving. I think.Biden had sexual harrassment allegations and I was referring to that as well.
To be fair, politicians using their position for monetary favors is baked into the cake. Everyone assumes politicians are crooked and corrupt. But I would hope, as a society, we expect them to have better personal morals than our football coaches. If a football coach cheats on his wife through phone sex, he has to go but politicians can cheat on their wives and we dont care. All I want is consistency.

of course, they will use this to get out of a terrible contract. if he was good, or worth it, this would be nothing. to be honest, it actually is a big nothing but msu will (as they should) use it as a chance to get out of the buy out clause...Tucker was (or will be, I’m not following it other than this board) fired ONLY because MSU conclude(d) he can’t win big as their coach. They couldn’t care in the least what he’s done here. What he did is actually somewhat tame (if at least as gross) as what many other coaches who were kept on for doing far worse (James Franklin should not only be unemployable, but should actually be in prison, for example).
what's crazy is that msu will take this opportunity to use it to their advantage. they basically get a free 'Get out of jail card' here with getting rid of a coach who has a ridiculous buyout...
good for sparta i guess..

The Steelers gleefully hired Tom Bradley despite the testimony in the PSU rape scandal that Bradley was in the showers with Sandusky while he assaulted little boys (didn’t just hear about it … was physically IN THE SHOWER with them … and he did nothing to stop it… possibly was even participating…certainly never reported it).
The Steelers (with media and fan enthusiasm) still hired him, and only let Bradley go because he was a terrible DB coach, and he remains Ron Cooks best friend ( can’t make these things up ).
Pitt has made double standards moves as well (Levance Fields etc).
It’s disgusting all the way around but some are greater degree of disgusting than others.
my man got tazed lol. FYI, dont try to grab a off duty cop's gun, it doesnt end well.Fields getting into a drunken fight on the South Side with someone who happened to be employed as a police officer (and was off duty) is nothing.
I know a kid's parents who had no clue about the Sandusky situation. Yeah - they live under a rock - I get it. But, in reality they're an inner city family from Maryland and no one talks about that shit like they do in white America. They thought Franklin was a fraud during their visit to PSU. The mom said - "what's this guy selling"? "He seems like a fraud."Absolutely no parents seem to throw James Franklin out of their homes, and he incontestably enabled the rapes of untold coeds by his players, including going to a hospital and threatening to kill one of the girls who considered pressing charges.
Well said. There are very few decent people in office. And these old farts need to be tossed....all of them.Biden had sexual harrassment allegations and I was referring to that as well.

another psu fan coming on a pitt board to remind us how we are all obsessed with them.Lol let them keep going, they’re on a roll! Ole Six-Fiver and SMF are two of the biggest nutcases on this board. With every Pitt loss and/or PSU win, their stories about Franklin get wilder.
Lord help us all if Pitt loses to WVU on Saturday. These two buffoons will be on here next week, telling everyone that Franklin was the one raping the girl at Vandy 😂
Franklin is probably neutered.Lol let them keep going, they’re on a roll! Ole Six-Fiver and SMF are two of the biggest nutcases on this board. With every Pitt loss and/or PSU win, their stories about Franklin get wilder.

Gee, ya think young guys don't do it? Lefties have installed the "free love" from the 70s and no rules for behavior.I think that's probably true. We all assume old guys have cheated on their wives in the past and maybe we hold them to that standard. 30 years from now, will an affair bury a political candidate? Maybe, I dont know but right now nobody cares. But if a football coach does, its curtains.
Franklin is probably neutered.
