Getting lots of love from the announcers on the Eagles/ Cleveland game.

Practicing what we preach...respect for our opponent.
Critics can be silenced... temporarily. They're like cockraches, you know they are out there. Even if you don't see them.
Like one season of Matt Rhule wouldn't kill his popularity with the BWICAC!
Have had the opportunity to speak to some parents. He's held in pretty high regard. Some have even expressed consternation with some of the negativity coming from a small portion of the fan base.
Competitive sport is based on respect. If you achieve victory over an opponent who doesn't engender respect...what have you accomplished?
How would people have felt about Franklin if PSU would have lost yesterday? Especially when we won 1st downs 28-16 and total yards 518-409? It shouldn't have taken two no calls on PI or a bad pass by Moss at the end of regulation.
How will people feel about Franklin if we lose @ Wisconsin in 2 weeks?
He is. And if he were fired at the end of this year, USC would continue to pay him more than Franklin currently receives for the next seven years. So if ro's (TIC) scenario were to come about, I'm sure that any deal PSU would reach with Riley would have them pay Riley less than they are currently paying Franklin..........unless you think that Riley is worth $18mm or more p.a. Frankly, I could see the nimrods who run PSU doing that.
If you think Riley or any other renowned coach is coming to PSU at a discount...for whatever the reason or circumstances...I've got a bridge to sell you .
Cannot speak for anyone else, but I will feel the same. Two things would change my stance: the program a) going into the toilet; or b) regularly contending for and from time to time winning championships.
If Penn State is a blue blood program they will pay the going rate for a HFC. Except for Matt Rhule, who would forfeit his 9M per year deal to give PSU the home town discount it deserves. LOL
I like Franklin, but we’re still biding our time until we can get Al Golden.
You filled up on scones and lattes this morning, I see.
No college head coach is making $18+mm, though that could change in two years. Again, ro's scenario was TIC. Somehow I don't see the logic in paying a HC top dollar who was fired from his last gig because he won basically nothing. But this is PSU and they did once-upon-a-time hire Ms. Excellence.
Your scenario presumes a discount because a fired coach carries a buyout. That isn't happening. Besides, why are you obsessed with what coaches make? Like any job, they are worth what someone is willing to pay them. I check my bank accounts. I've yet to contribute 1 cent to a coaches salary.
A lot of folks on here who were pretty quiet that first half when James wasn’t beating USC.
They were? I suggest you check the game thread
Yeah, everybody is out there paying fired coaches top dollar. Name one case when that happened, in a 1-2 year time frame from said coach's firing.?
I was on it.
I didn’t see what I see now. James has earned the skepticism that I saw from many during the first half.

Rhule made $5.5mm when he started at Nebraska and is making $6.5mm now. That's not even close to the top of the heap.
A JoePa move to be sure. Love him for that.
Nebraska announces salaries for Matt Rhule’s coaching staff
The University of Nebraska recently announced the contract and salary details for offensive coordinator and quarterback’s coach Glenn Thomas.

Rhule for one
His guaranteed money is 74 million over 8 years. Look, I don't really give a ****. If James stays, he'll get a bump after this year. His agent isn't gonna let him slide below #12. If he leaves, PSU can't afford to bring in a no name hopeful to replace him. So they'll pay between 6.5 and 8 M A year. If it's your fantasy to find a discounted coaching staff i understand.
Another reason why wrestling is a fantastic sport. Win or lose, at the end of the match, you stand up and shake your opponents hand.
Well considering how many times we have been f d by bad calls/no calls…
It didn’t take just that. This team fought its butts off for the whole 60+ mins. Sometimes putting yourself in a position to have a chance to win helps you find that little bit of good luck as well.
CJF frustrates me to death at times, but I am still a big fan, W or L.
Some of us have self control and do not feel need to vent our frustration on the message board as things are happening live.
Some on here certainly lack that ability.
They have a classic trap game off a bye at Wisconsin in two weeks. Can’t overlook that one.
A win against OSU at home in a year when it would greatly matter would go a long way.
I was, because we were out. I didn't see it until early in the third quarter. I try to watch when I can, but my life doesn't revolve around it.
I like the bye before this game. Traveling out and back from USC, then having to go away to Wisconsin back to back would have been pretty tough. I think the week off is coming at a nice time for us.
I think it's more important to pay the going rate for elite talent. I think a $5 million coach would do better with 5* talent than a $10 million coach would do with 4* talent.
But I think he's got that team moving in the right direction. Having Raiola for another 2-3 years is big.
