Franklin to AD and Rhule to HFC
- Thread starter MacNit
- Start date
Franklin's buyout is 7.5 million x 9 years after this season. That sounds like a "realistic alternative."
IIRC he only did it for 2 years and it was 40 years ago. There's now way too much involved for a HC to also be the AD. JMO.
Yeah and Rhule walks on water right? Probably will be available next year since he is doing such a "terrific" job in Carolina.
Before her , tell me what sports, that people give a shite about, were we better at. And, I still think if it was a straight man as AD, you could give a crap.
Then tell me which of the coaches for sports which "people give a shite about" she hired. I'll spot you Shrewsberry.
Whatevs. Most importantly, Sandy’s having fun.

Congrats for making the big time!!
Not solely responsible. But that is a core part of her job description. And what would lead you to believe the BOT has a clue? Have you seen the University’s Academic rankings plummet while tuition has skyrocketed since the dynamic duo had been in place?
Am I counting you in as a Sandy admirer? She has placed PSU firmly on the same type of path she placed Cal. An unmitigated disaster.

Sure she’s having fun. She is being paid handsomely for a job that would get her fired at most places.Whatevs. Most importantly, Sandy’s having fun.

Only because I am so nice. Franklin has actually earned a dismissal. The AD position would be a face-saver (and any living, breathing creature would be an improvement over SB).
Just think if someone on a message board a few years back said hire “Barren and Sandy.” They would have been correct and would have been probably the worst two hires in all USA Universities (just check their records via the numbers).
I’ll take my suggestions any day of the week.
I did think you were being generous. There are plenty of posters here, many of whom I really respect, who want CJF outright fired. There was much breast beating, hair pulling, and gnashing of teeth on this board when he got his extension. As far as I can recall, your OP is the first to suggest a non-HFBC role at PSU for CJF.
Up to now I haven’t bothered posting in this thread because I try to follow the wise words of the great mathematician G H Hardy: “It is never worth an intelligent man’s time to express a majority opinion. By definition, there are already enough people to do that.” It’s pretty unanimous here that your OP should take up permanent residence in the “Not Happening” file. I concur.

Let me help you here. Women and gay people are now in leadership roles. Deal with it.
No he hasn't earned a dismissal. Thank goodness you can scope out any ex coach with PSU ties and think he's the fixer. Maybe he can get Golden away from ND and Jay as his OC too.
Look at these eye popping numbers.
NFL: 10–23 (.303) NCAA: 47–43 (.522) Bowls: 1–2 (.333)
There ya' go. Can't answer the question so deflect to something irrelevant. Don't care about an AD's gender or sexual preference, just performance. So back to the question, which coach has she hired that's a world beater?
The Wayback Machine worked overtime on that one!
A guy who hasn't coached in nearly fifteen years.
And the discussion was limited to PSU, but you knew that, too.
Good God. Why are you and your like so pissed?? What's wrong? When a position becomes available in a sport that matters, I'll let you know. Exclude Football, Wrestling and MBBall, what the hell else are you talking about?? What sport do you need to be so much better that's getting your undies all bunched up? Just stop hatin on people.
I'm the one that's pissed? Did you read what you wrote before hitting the "Post Reply" button? Don't know what it is I'm doing, but I think I'll just keep on doing it.
Agree to disagree. After 8 years, the program is mired in mediocrity. The primary issue? Franklin’s teams are soft.No he hasn't earned a dismissal. Thank goodness you can scope out any ex coach with PSU ties and think he's the fixer. Maybe he can get Golden away from ND and Jay as his OC too.

He does recruit well, but games are won on field. There he is very lacking with head scratching game management coupled with the propensity for his teams to get pushed around. Even by the likes of Villanova.
The only thing that you are spot on correct about is your own thinking that you’re spot on correct.
That's fine, PSU was also went to 3 NYD 6 bowl games in 4 years and won a BT title in that stretch, so while the last 2 years were disappointing...and they were, your opinions are pretty much off base and not grounded in reality. Not to mention the recruiting haul he just pulled in, but lets just keep up bring up Rhule whos numbers are actually **** but he had Joe connections so some PSU fans put him on a pedestal. He's not even a .500 coach, but you want to talk about mediocrity which would be a step up for Rhule.

A significant # of resident experts here are of the "what have you done for me lately...." ilk. They cried when we went to the Cotton instead of the Rose....they bitched when we went 11-2 and 11-3.....No one is happy with the past two seasons. But the BWICAC is NEVER happy.
Just keep hatin, whining, complaining, and pissin. Franklin is staying. Sandy is staying. Deal with it.
Certainly hard to argue the soft remark. Toughness does not seem to be a trait of his teams here and I hate that.
A significant # of our resident experts here are happy with anything. They make excuses for Indiana, Illinois, Villanova, Michigan State, Ohio State, Michigan games over a number of years and seem to be fine with a team of Penn State’s resources that continues to be pushed around the field, make mental mistakes and coaching mistakes, and does not even seem to be interested in playing football - choosing instead to opt out.
Perhaps we should not be surprised as such lack of accountability is the hallmark of academia.
Probably why JoePa stood out so much as an exception to such acceptance of mediocrity.
Is this the “recruiting haul” that will put us over the top? After 8 years, Penn State can not even control the line of scrimmage against Villanova? Or they get thoroughly dominated in then trenches, at home, by Illinois? When will Franklin get this rectified? Year 17? My opinions are off base? Yiubare in denial. And after the last two years of debacles, Penn State is looking down the gun barrel of a third straight year of mediocrity and underachievement.
So you just skip over where he had success in the 8 years.....makes sense. Doesn't appear you can analyze the whole picture which is fine. My issue with him was the annual flirtation and yes he did take a step back the last 2 years, but putting him to AD and hiring a coach who isn't .500 surely seems pretty odd to me....to each their own. Good fantasy you had, but I do like reality better.
