FC: PSU fires Yurcich
- Thread starter StamfordBridgeVikingatLeftOffensiveTackle
- Start date
I have to guess this signals that next year is more important than polishing the turd that is this year.
Love CJF but this seems like another effort to shift blame away from himself. This is the kind of move that football factories make mid-season
Perhaps Seider will be responsible for calling the run plays; Howle the passes.
Will be interesting to me wherever Yurcich ends up if his offense is the air raid. That would confirm most everyone's suspicion that JF is very involved in the offense and kept a lid on Yurcich

I think he’ll be going for Jay Paterno and bring back the Spread HD….Promote Trautwein?
The conversation;
JF “What in the heck stupid plays are you calling”.
MY “The ones you told me to”.
JF “Who called those fourth down shots, and who called the stupid two point trick conversions”.
MY “You did”.
JF “You’re fired for listening to me, let that be a lesson for you. Where’s the running back coach JS”?
JF“Right here coach”.
JF “Are you renting or buying your home”?
JS “Renting”.
JF “Good you’re the new OC, and don’t get any bright ideas”.
Surprised to see this today, but not really surprised it’s happened I suppose.
Honestly, I guess I really don’t care that much. I’m pretty disenchanted with Franklin right now.

Not to mention the $50-60 million to buy out his contract
The development or lack of with Drew is enough to let M. Y go. Franklin claims that he is the CEO. I wonder how much or how little freedom M. Y had
This is not the first time M.Y. Has been let go Texas and OSU and OK state come to mind.
I think their was tension this season that came to a boiling point after yesterday

So if he does get involved too much, then it’s his fault. If he allows his OC to make the decisions and they do poorly and he fires them, then it’s his fault. Saban has gone through as many OC’a as Franklin in the same amount of time, is Saban too involved?
Let’s hold out til we can find the guy that has an offense that gets at least 5 or 6 yards on every running play, gets long and short passes completed with equal regularity, has massive amounts of explosive plays, and never has a three and out. Let’s find that guy, they’re obviously all over college football.
I wish some of you would just admit that no matter what Franklin does, it will be the wrong move. That would make things easier to discuss on this board.
CJF keeps this up, it also can backfire on the guy in which nobody will want to be hired by PSU because it won't be worthwhile even moving to State College because CJF will get you fired before you get your mail address changed. Who wants to work for a boss who will gladly screw you in public when he makes the dumb mistakes and the crowd starts calling for accountability.
Makes me wonder if Allar and/or Singleton/Allan had some tough conversations this morning.
There's some really good stuff on the pay site. @NateBauer has been on fire since game end yesterday. It's definitely worth a month subscription to check it out.
A necessary move at this point, BUT…
We weren’t able to beat OSU/UM since before Yurcich got here. Furthermore, the offense was bland, predictable and ineffective before Yurcich got here. I mean… not as bad as this year, certainly, but it hasn’t been particularly dynamic unless there’s been a first-round NFL draft pick shouldering the load.
The common denominator is… something else.

With the lack of in game production and execution by the Offense some of his bonehead decisions might not have been made. Obviously MY was not the answer.
Love this Franklin move: the enemy is both strong and weak. Too weak to make our offense better, but too strong for me to do anything about it until now. Please.
Fired the wrong person. I can't remember the game but one of the announcers said something along the lines of Franklin has to reign in Yurcich because wants to pass alot.
Both of the last two coordinators were considered really good. They come here and both run the same bland two runs and a pass offense. What didn't change in that time? The head coach.
He is great Sunday thru Friday. Sucks on Saturdays.

Any credibility to the rumor that the Allar family is not happy and may have told Franklin this morning that they are considering a transfer?
True both Saban and Franklin have had several OC’s. The significant difference is that Saban’s usually leave for a head coaching position. James OC’s usually go out the door looking for work other than two exceptions.
the one you're trying to start?
Don’t mock it, this is the best conspiracy theory we have at the moment, but it’s still early in the day.
While Yurcich isn't the only problem for PSU, he was a problem. He was way too pass happy. He always found an excuse to throw the ball even when the running game was working. Look at Michigan yesterday, they didn't pass the ball once in the 2nd half because they were able to run the ball.
I let my subscription run out and was debating renewing. Like Nate a lot. Now I’ll have to renew for a month to read. Ha. Thanks for the heads up.
Franklin is just one of many great world leaders that understands the value of delegating.
SIAP - this makes ZERO sense at this point in the season.
