As assistant coach

Hate to see him go as he was probably very valuable, however, he’s an NFL guy and probably wants to get back there at some point so he wasn’t going to stay long term regardless. Seems as though Bama is the last stop before becoming a HC or going to the NFL recently.
What is his head coaching record? If he's better than Franklin, why is CJF earning 7 million plus and Ken is being paid as a consultant. Assuming he knows more football than Franklin is just nonsense. LOL
You do realize that Franklin is at Penn State, right? What does Penn State do better than burn money?
The first question one of these assistants asks Nick Lou when the assistant is given a "special" assignment is "how many sugars do you take?"
Well, now Nick Lou has four "special assistants." Franklin has some catching up to do.You do realize that Franklin is at Penn State, right? What does Penn State do better than burn money?
Apparently what PSU does best is employ clueless football coaches who wouldn't qualify to be consultants....let alone be position coaches in the esteemed NFL.......LOLYou do realize that Franklin is at Penn State, right? What does Penn State do better than burn money?
I know. It's not easy these days trying to buy eggs and pay PSU football coaches.You do realize that Franklin is at Penn State, right? What does Penn State do better than burn money?
DUde, I am pro JF as anyone but what you typed is ridiculous.
Wis is a great football man. To assume he's schooling CJF is what is ridiculous. Coaches, as you know, are the biggest sponges (at least the good ones) learning and sharing ideas from one another. PSU, I believe is up to 20 support staff members (including analysts). This was much needed and was one of the things CJF fought for in his new agreement. Not just his compensation, but more funds for the program. Experienced eyes and ears are a big plus. But in the end, its the HFC that provides the structure. Are you saying that Franklin couldn't have chosen to be a position coach, a coordinator or a HC (with a losing record) in the NFL? Two good football people who simply chose different paths and destinations.
Next year the theme will be Diaz is gone......we have no hope Franklin is alone. LOL
According to 24/7 PSU has increased to 10 analysts although Whisenhunt (2yrs) as never been listed.
I am estimating that Alabama is at 12 or 13.
I guess these guys never unpack their suitcases - must be a tough life - I guess like being in the Military - always on the move at least no one is shooting at you just the fans
Touch surprising that this news generates this much interest. Had he done what Dan Conner did with Speca for our undersized DL, I might have kicked my dog today, but Wisenfish was a middling NFL coach who is not associated with big recruiting wins, who did not uplift the talents around him...Maybe the near belligerent intensity of Saban will make him a 3-star coach one day, but for me I would rather have a hungry dude who aligns with our strategy to conquer the east coast in recruiting.
Guys like Whisenhunt are the very fortunate ones. He's had two HC gigs and those are usually lucrative deals. He probably doesn't need to be breaking his balls as a position coach etc. Lot's of lifers don't get that big payday and yes they live out of a suit case. Falling in love with football and coaching is one thing......but I can't imagine some of the coaches who have families and move from one D2 or D3 job to another. Now that's tuff.I guess these guys never unpack their suitcases - must be a tough life - I guess like being in the Military - always on the move at least no one is shooting at you just the fans
Haven’t heard that but Tengwall is still recovering from surgery last year and may be doubtful for full participation in the spring.
A new coach with new perspective is usually what happens, CJF seems to do well in this area.
Entirely "rumor." Seems like Williams is doing the "cold calling." DC Maryland roots?
