That might be a combination that would work? At this point, Franklin’s game day coaching does not seem like it will be suffice. But a good admin and PR person and anyone would be better than Sandy.

Your thoughts on getting better? As it is clear that the football team and athletics (and academics) are getting worse.lol. Dude, you're a clown.
So who’s taking a huge pay decrease in this scenario. Sandy is very well paid by AD standards, but she makes about 20% what Franklin does.That might be a combination that would work?

Franklin will make a great used car salesman when he is no longer coaching. OBVIOUSLYA bit off topic from the original post. I have said before, when Coach ends his coaching career, IMHO he would be an outstanding commissioner of any conference or even the NFL. CJF pays a lot of attention to, and studies, emerging issues, and he is usually a little bit ahead of the curve in identifying rules, regulations, etc, that need to be changed. You can see that now in his push to have the Big drop to 8 conference games. I think he would be excellent in such a role; far better than they guy currently serving as Big Commissioner.
Oh dear.Coach Franklin just brought in a 6th ranked recruiting class. A man of character who runs a very clean program. He is poised to have a much improved season next year.
Room for improvement: Stop treating your staff like they are immediate family. Create firm parameters and milestones at every coaching level with potential consequences. This in time will vastly improve the team’s performance.
If Sean Clifford stays healthy and the OL improves this team will win 9 games.Oh dear.
This is true.Franklin laughs at coaching.
What? All of Franklin's salary is paid by PSU.Most of Franklin’s salary is not paid by the university. I’m sure if he goes for AD the same thing would happen. I agree he is a better administrator than coach.
Gene Smith is the B1G Commissioner. He made that clear in his statements this week.I think he would be excellent in such a role; far better than they guy currently serving as Big Commissioner.
Gene Smith doesn't even run OSU football. he's just a mouthpiece.Gene Smith is the B1G Commissioner. He made that clear in his statements this week.
Seems to be settling in as a .500 coach with teams that lack toughness.Coach Franklin just brought in a 6th ranked recruiting class. A man of character who runs a very clean program. He is poised to have a much improved season next year.

Joe was once AD. And he was miles a better coach than Franklin. So why not?Franklin to AD? You not fvcking serious?
Back at you Skippy.Remember when you used to post good stuff? Me neither.
Ok genius, what in that post is off base? Franklin is a good in-game coach? Better in admin part of coaching than game day? Sandy a great AD?Enough already with mindless, idiotic posts.
He’s been there since 2014…is this a papal appointment?Coach Franklin just brought in a 6th ranked recruiting class. A man of character who runs a very clean program. He is poised to have a much improved season next year.

Two big ifs and then we win a whole more 2 games?If Sean Clifford stays healthy and the OL improves this team will win 9 games.
This is far more realistic than your original post. But it will be a LONG TIME before PSU can even entertain canning Franklin for anything less than just cause. That whopper 10 year extension made sure of it.Seems to be settling in as a .500 coach with teams that lack toughness.
Of course what I proposed in our in the sky. A more realistic alternative would be Franklin being dismissed outright. He has underperformed and team play on field, where games are won, is regressing.
That said, Franklin sees like a good guy and perhaps he would make a good AD. Again, could anyone be worse than Sandy?
Ah-ha! OK, now I'm seeing through the Sandy part of your anger, I know what you're about. Keep on hatinOk genius, what in that post is off base? Franklin is a good have coach? Better admin part of coaching than game day? Sandy a great AD?
after one year..... fire RhuleThat might be a combination that would work? At this point, Franklin’s game day coaching does not seem like it will be suffice. But a good admin and PR person and anyone would be better than Sandy.
Makes perfect sense. Franklin gives up 8 or 9 million a year for a 1 million per annum desk job.That might be a combination that would work? At this point, Franklin’s game day coaching does not seem like it will be suffice. But a good admin and PR person and anyone would be better than Sandy.
What’s hate? Sandy has proven to be a spend-happy incompetent at two major institutions. She should be immediately terminated.Ah-ha! OK, now I'm seeing through the Sandy part of your anger, I know what you're about. Keep on hatin
Who said it should make sense to Franklin? At most instititions he would have been fired either outright after the Illinois game last year or immediately after the season. He is underachieving and the team is in. downward spiral?Makes perfect sense. Franklin gives up 8 or 9 million a year for a 1 million per annum desk job.
Why - because people are calling for Franklin after 8 years?after one year..... fire Rhule
As long As I live the 6 to 4 loss to Iowa will always be the worst game I ever watched No other game will ever come closeWhy - because people are calling for Franklin after 8 years?
Let’s give Matt five years. I would bet dimes to donuts that Penn State will not get bullied around their home field by Illinois. Or make egregious mental errors. l - starting in year 1.
Okay, "let's" propose something as if "we" are the decision makers and that will never happen.Why - because people are calling for Franklin after 8 years?

Hmmm, so Sandy is solely responsible for CJF's contract extension.....and no one else (BOT subcommittee on compensation) had to approve?Who said it should make sense to Franklin? At most instititions he would have been fired either outright after the Illinois game last year or immediately after the season. He is underachieving and the team is in. downward spiral?
But what does Penn State (Sandy) do? Sign him to a ten year extension. She should have been terminated immediately for that negotiation debacle.
