yeah but...housing costs in Eugene....Go James! Keep taking care of your family. That's a good man.
He presided over a program that furthered that sheet show. Bama was one of the worst offenders of paid players before the NCAA permitted paying players. That is how Bama was rebuilt after their sanctions.Who can blame him with the sheet show college football has become?
Here's wishing the GOAT a long and healthy retirement
I hope so, the entertainment value would be great.Franklin will somehow get a raise out of Uncle Nick hanging it up![]()
That’s the one certainly in Nick’s retirement, and James isn’t even remotely under consideration.Franklin will somehow get a raise out of Uncle Nick hanging it up![]()
Understandable. Like losing to Jughead Jones.Couldn't take the shame of losing to Hairball.
Gotta think that hes gettin too old for whats about to happen and wants no part of itPassing of the guard. Wonder if the chaos of NIL and portal helped him reach his decision more quickly.
Also won a National Championship at LSU in 2003. Seven titles total with an overall collegiate record of 292-71-1. Respectable.Complicated guy. Not exactly a warm personality but players and their parents seemed to love him. Built a dynasty at Bama via clear skirting of the rules early on. Later years were probably more above board as 5 stars with nfl dreams willing arrived and sat the bench. He eventually became the cradle of rehab for assistants. Countless nfl guys.
Yet, didn’t have that success at MSU and was basically run out of the dolphins locker room when he couldn’t dominate nfl teams with a roster that was subpar.
to his credit, NIL and the portal were probably his undoing and he knew it. Whatever advantage he had was gone. Credit to him for not trying to hang on.
When will we be seeing you on the late night talk shows Bob?Tonight at the dinner table:
Franklin: Ha! You hear that? Saban is giving up. He’s done! He goes out losing with a subpar team. Glad I’m not him.
Fumi: Seriously, James? Knock it off an eat.
Franklin:![]()
Gotta be honest. Seeing them mention Joe and his wins made me a little verklempt.
