I think he lives in VA now. Doesnt matter though. He will never coach again anywhere.
I did not realize it was so close. I thought the death had occurred well before the firing. Definitely problematic and does seem cold hearted.
This is why guys like Franklin are pushing for 10-year contracts worth huge money. That effectively buys job security if an AD is dumb enough to go there.
I don't believe that you could reach moron speed with a steep downhill slope and a strong tailwindThey did. They ran really crisp routes.
This departure is a head scratcher but Fraudklin always need a sacrificial asst coach to either (a) atone for underperformance or (b) provide hype for becoming “elite”
He also (c) likes to surround himself with sycophants.
The difference between college and NFL contracts is that in the latter case the money is coming from the owner's pocket. Entirely different perspective when it's your bank account getting hit.
Seems somewhat cold hearted, but I don’t know what the proper amount of time is. Two weeks? A month? By then his options of other employment and the candidates to replace him become more limited.
I don't know either, but two days, if true, not good. Show some heart even it sets the program back some. Compassion is more important.
Compassion would be withholding judgement until you actually knew the whole story, but that doesn't stop many here.
Could be a lack of compassion. Could also just be the formal announcement of something already known by both parties for a little while now. I have no idea.
This gives him time to find another job. Waiting impacts him more.
You are correct, I don't know the whole story. I simply made an observation and comment based on the speculation the death occurred two days prior to his firing. Note I said "if true".
On one level I understand, on another I don't understand. The death of a loved one adds another dimension to the circumstances surrounding his release. I guess there was no other way?
Art, if we’re talking tax dollars as indirectly funding buyouts, then there are a zillion other misuses of tax dollars I’d take exception with before coaching buyouts.
Wasn't talking about the specific source of the funds. In the case of an NFL owner, what he pays the coach, for coaching or otherwise, comes out of his pocket. That is not the case for an AD or university president who signs a coach to a bad contract. Most of those folks don't give a ****.
For some reason, I doubt that what is best for Stubblefield professionally entered into the equation. But if it did, why not can him immediately after the Rose Bowl? I know; not in the holiday spirit.
Easy work around for that.For all those bashing the timing, I'm sure there would be bashing if the guy Franklin wanted took another job because he didn't fire him sooner. Franklin could stand on his head and spit nickels and some would bash him for not spitting dimes
Good question. Current employer would. Previous employers: split between definite "no" and can't really say.
My father lost his job when he came back from a trip out of town to attend the funeral of his mother.

Spitting nickels twice as fast?
I've worked with several IT contract companies over the past decade, which offered very limited time off and benefits. Definitely they would not take this into consideration. Currently at a direct position with a good company and I think they might if you were a long-standing employee.
That is because it's phony BS fake internet outrage because they don't like him. It's nothing more than that at all and it silly transparent. It's funny watching some here do their mental gymnastics on this BS when you see it with anything he does they don't remotely care for. The funniest one are the kooks that bring up his salary every time. They sound like little jealous children.For all those bashing the timing, I'm sure there would be bashing if the guy Franklin wanted took another job because he didn't fire him sooner.

About twenty years ago, at the place I was working at the time, a young software engineer had to fly unexpectedly to China due to the sudden death of his father.
I wouldn't want him back--he is too much of an opportunist. He would be spending half his time networking on the side looking for the next OC job. Dude is not patient. Just my opinion....
No but my current employer doesnt tell everyone how much he loves everyone and how big a family we are and how much being that family means
What is PSU's HR rule for how long a job has to be posted? I suspect that and the legal contract issues will drive the timeline on this. I have no inside info, this just feels like a case of Franklin already having his guy and taking step to make it official.
