Trying to imagine Joe doing this...
I am offended by this. What is a Penn State coach doing at our facility and why is the coach of the PITTSBURGH Steelers doing tweeting a picture of himself with the coach of a hated rival? I don't think Narduzzi would tweet a picture of himself with Bill Belichick or John Harbaugh.
Why the **** was Franklin at our facility? Do we need to increase our security budget?
Simple. It is not Pitt's facility. If Pitt is trying to utilize practicing next to the Steelers as an asset, then Franklown is going to use it against Pitt if he can.
Why does JF have to do the #1 finger thing, can't he just be civil, stand there for the picture and smile like the other 2?

Frankfurter is down there to get Tyler and James autograph.
I think Franklin visiting the UPMC facilities works out to Pitt's advantage. A lot! I mean honestly, when Franklin is asked about his visit is he really going to say anything negative about them? No, everything he says about the facilities is going to be positive or he'll look like a jerk to the Steelers. And if he says anything positive about the Steelers facilities, he's basically saying positive things about Pitt's facilities. Hopefully he says "world class facilities.". Hopefully he says something like "it was cool to be next to the Steelers and see them practice." Nothing like getting a rival coach to promote your university's facilities and relationship with the Steelers.
Also a positive for Narduzzi... Why would narduzzi want to go visit the facilities in state college? He wouldnt. But the PSU head coach wants to visit the UPMC sports facilities (Pitt's facilities) because he wants to get a glimpse of an NFL practice and their facilities.
Hey Franklin, come back soon

This would be a fun quote on Twitter to recruits:
"James from State College is on the #412Crew bandwagon. Are you next?"
Hmmm, something tells me it isn't going to work out that way.
Like SMF, I don't like it, but I think we tend to forget that coaches are all part of a big fraternity. They usually don't see themselves and the schools (their employers) the same way us fans do. I mean, SEC coaches seem to get along, and we all know what goes on down there.
Same thing with the players.
I think fans hoping to a repeat of what the Maryland players did last year, or the Rutgers students did, are going to be disappointed, especially when Narduzzi, Barnes, and Gallagher issue the apologies..
"On the fence?"
The guy is coaching the PITTSBURGH Steelers. He has to at least pretend to be more of a fan of the PITTSBURGH Panthers than the team from State College. Geez. That's bad.
That is just as easily turned around by Pitt offering the belief that Franklin had to get out of state college to find something we have next door.
You want to spend the summer in State College and spend all your time awaiting an arts festival that turns into a public urinal, be my guest!
Honestly, what do you want Mike Tomlin to say there? "Pitt is it! PSU Stinks!" Come on now. Tomlin doesn't want berated by Pitt or PSU fans because he says he leans one way or the other. He took a picture with two rival coaches and gave a neutral tweet. That's the right move. And don't forget, a lot of Pitt and PSU fans cheer for the same team on Sunday's.
How about, "PA College Football is in good hands" or something like that. He doesn't have to say "Go" anything. Penn State is NOT a Pittsburgh team. Its a Central PA team that has a lot of fans and alums in the area. That doesnt make it a Pittsburgh team. Would he say "Go Buckeyes." They are the #3 team in this area (based on that Facebook Fan Map).
His "on the fence" comment is highly highly offensive. Not only is he coaching in the same town as the PITTSBURGH Panthers, his boss has a deep business relationship with Pitt (along with being Pitt alums and donors). The better Pitt is, the more money the Rooneys make, the more money they have to improve the Steelers (and pay Tomlin). The Steelers benefit from Pitt about a million times more than they benefit from that Cult up in the middle of nowhere. If Tomlin doesn't take that quote down himself, he should be made to. What a moron!
I have a sneakins suspicion Tomlin couldnt care less about Pitt or Penn state
Well you should see William and Mary's board blowin' up. Talk about disrespect for your Alma matter. Should've said "Nice PA teams, but nothing like The Tribe"

DAMN TOMLIN TO HELL!!!!
I Will NEVER take for that SOB again!!!!!
Would we like the picture if PITT and psu coaches took the picture with Kelley in Philly ?
His Boss has as big of a relationship with the PSU fanbase because they make up a very big contingent of the Steelers fanbase. Anyone who gets upset about this is scrapping the bottom of the barrel for braincells on a daily basis.
BTW, for you crazies, he actually mentioned Pitt and CPN first!!!1!
Who’s boss? What the hell are you talking about?
Yes, it is about time for the dominatrix to hit the road for that 3 hour trek to the metropolis of st college.

Pro Tip: Read the post in the quote. It should let you figure out what is being discussed.
I'll let you re-read and figure it out. Teach a man to fish and everything. Good luck.
That's quite a difference isn't it? The Rooney's have an ACTUAL business relationship with Pitt. Sure, the Steelers have a lot of PSU alum fans but that doesn't mean Tomlin has to take a picture with their coach. Should he also take pictures with Dana Holgorsen, Urban Meyer, and Brian Kelly since the Steelers have a ton of fans who are WVU, ND, and OSU fans. For that matter, should he go out to Cal U, IUP, Slippery Rock, etc and take pictures with their coaches.
You Stiller fans have your blinders on. Tomlin should not be "on the fence." He coaches "PITTSBURGH."
You're nuts. It's no big deal at all and not offensive in the least. No need to get unhinged about a tweet with a neutral comment.
In all seriousness, he does the #1 thing to emulate the Nittany Lion mascot who always has the #1 finger up in pictures. He literally said this.
