Can Franklin achieve what Harbaugh has accomplished?

[marshall23]

Michigan didn't just beat Ohio State twice. They smoked them twice. There were no blocked kicks or funny trick plays. Smoked. Michigan is in different air right now than Penn State. I told you guys earlier this year how you can get there but I don't think Franklin and even moreso Yurcich have the stomach for it

Thanks macho fanboy. Why do I suspect you were in the let's move on from Jimmer fan club 3 years ago? Take you sorry *** out of here.

Hate to say it but Mr Michigan is correct. PSU has the talent to compete with Deliverance Mobs in OH and MI but Harbaugh made great leadership decisions, both with coaches and QBs, and now is the top dog. He commands respect for those relatively quiet decisions. He also is grinding OSU heavily with the "born on 3rd base" mentality. Credit where credit is due. BUT, the beauty is that PSU is a top flight university with the resources to quickly turn the worm and OSU and UM are prone to overlook us despite five decades of excellence.

If Harbaugh has what it takes.....why did it take so long? LOL
Perhaps he was a pretty decent coach all along and things just fell into place the past 2 seasons?
There are some pretty damn good coaches that don't win every game Alice.

Franklin's record against Michigan is 3-6, that is all you need to know.

What's his record against Michigan when they had equal size rosters?

His record is his record.

 

[leinbacker]

His record is his record.

yes but are you comparing a team with I-AA scholarship limits with a I-A scholarship limit?

He lost to Brady Hoke's Michigan. I don't care how many guys were on Michigan's roster. That 2014 team was god awful. I would also say Penn State's win in Ann Arbor the Covid year could be looked at with an asterisk. I mean, come on

When Mani leaves for greener pastures, maybe JF can hire Don Brown to start this 'be like Harbaugh' track.

Thanks for the update on this rat bastard. Michigan has proven that they suffer in transition more than PSU and OSU, so obviously, we as true Penn State fans, would love for him to move on and expose UM as a non-qualifying true blue blood. Nothing would make minstrels sing from Mt Nittany more than another decade of RichRod-like succession struggle. It would be glorious to see UM join the ranks of the chronically underwhelming with Wisconsin and Nebraska. There is enough joy there to forget about $5/gallon gas.

I may be wrong, but I feel as though the UM program is imploding from the inside because of NIL. Just a hunch with no inside info.

PSUJam let's hope so. No amount of unmanaged chaos will suffice for those simply horrible people.

To answer the original question, yes. There’s some luck involved in finding the right staff and if he keeps trying, eventually it will work.

Diaz is a super DC. We’ll see on Yurcich with a prototype passing QB for his system. MY doesn’t seem to have been good in the RPO system and players he inherited.

Get better with those two in 2023 and they’ll be damned close to a B1G title and CFP berth.

We're going to have a great team next year and then all bets are off if Mccarthy leaves. Our NIL plan (or lack thereof) is killing recruiting.
