Look closer at his schedule during those 11 wins seasons
it was actually 11pts not 6 but look who they beat was my point. Not that impressive schedule. Although they did play a similar game against Indiana as Tennessee didLast year they went 11-2 and they played 6 games vs top 25 teams, we played 3. Their losses were by 5 points to an 11 win Minnesota team that finished in the top 10, and by 6 points to an Ohio State team that would have beaten Tennessee by 45 points last year.
You think losing to UK for the first time in 35 years is bad? Franklin lost to Temple, first time PSU lost to them since 1941.He i better than what we currently have that if for sure!!

A lot of these names bounced around here sound good until you look closer and they have their warts also. A lot of PSU fans were ready to move on from Franklin before this year.

That’s a great question. I imagine the folks at Michigan aren’t second guessing the hire despite the results. It seemed like a great hire for them at the time. Whereas hiring CP was not so obvious. Much easier to question our hire than Michigan’s.Here’s a question for you. Would you trade Pruitt for Harbaugh?
Didn’t want to start a new thread on this and this one seems to currently be the most discussed “Freeze thread “ even though RV77 titled it “Franklin“ but I have a question / observation that I have not seen addressed yet.
Everybody knows that Jimmy Sexton is probably the most prominent agent out there . Everybody probably also knows that JS represents Hugh Freeze . I’m not sure who represents James Franklin but that isn’t really relative to this question / possible item of discussion and or speculation.
Jimmy Sexton is a UT alum , former football team manager and his first client was Reggie White in 1984. He has represented Fulmer , Kiffin , Dooley , Jones (for at least one season ) & I’m not sure about Pruitt but I would say there is a good chance he is. I know that a lot on here are not big fans of Jimmy Sexton because he puts business over his allegiance to UT but it’s obviously made him a very wealthy and powerful man.
All that for this :
Does anybody know if Fulmer and Sexton are still friendly? Does anyone have any thoughts on how this could potentially help or hurt Freezes chances of being contacted by UT indirectly through Freeze about a potential job opening ? Basically any thoughts on how Sexton could get word to Fulmer or vice versa about interest in a potential UT job opening ?
You conveniently forgot to mention the Georgia State game and BYU game and this year Kentucky and Arkansas. We blew a 13-0 lead at half against Arkansas and not only did we lose to Kentucky at home but we was dominated by Kentucky.You think losing to UK for the first time in 35 years is bad?

No I didn't. I was just pointing out losing to UK for the first time in 35 years is not as bad as losing to Temple for the first time in 74 years. At least to me, maybe you disagree.You conveniently forgot to mention the Georgia State game and BYU game and this year Kentucky and Arkansas.

good / informative points . It is easy to see how / why Sexton loves Phil . I guess my question & invitation for input was more along the lines of does Fulmer love Jimmy? (lol that felt weird typing out ). Does Fulmer hate Jimmy (equally weird ) I know Fulmer is usually all for Fulmer so even if he has grown to despise the man would their be an opportunity for Fulmer to somehow personally profit by brokering a Freeze to the hill deal? Conversely does anybody have any thoughts or even I dare say knowledge on how Fulmer &Sextons past relationship could have any impact on this sort of thing , be it positive or negative ? Any insiders been hanging at the Shoneys with Jimmy and Phil?Well, Sexton took Phil to the absolute cleaners on Pruitt's current contract, which may or may not have a way to off-set buyout money if he takes a job, and Fulmer also extended him coming off a year with the worst home loss of the modern era and absolutely 0 pressure that Pruitt would get a sniff at another job. That has now made Pruitt's buyout over 12 million dollars.
Harbaugh has been mentioned in this thread a few times. Harbaugh is 150-67-1 in his career as a head coach. He's been to two NFC Championship games, the Super Bowl and has won 10+ games 6 times as a college coach. Care to guess what his buyout is if he's fired on December 1st 2020? 6.3 million dollars.
So if I were guessing, Sexton loves Phil. He's made Jimmy a bunch of easy money.
