Price: Franklin Likely Remaining at Penn State

[BigOrangeTrain]

My top 5 realistic candidates as of right now:

1. Matt Campbell
2. Luke Fickell
3. Billy Napier
4. Gus Malzahn
5. Bill Clark

I think Freeze, Kiffin and Chadwell are untouchable this go-round since what was said at the press conference about integrity being paramount.

Fickell is a defensive guy he is out

yet they were willing to negotiate with Franklin. So they can just stuff that integrity garbage!

Saban is a defensive guy...would we want him?

Agreed. I would understand him staying at Penn St., but it seems pretty strange that “locker room renovations” of all all things would be the reason why.

More peep holes?

Not that I want Franklin but you are saying he is staying at PSU because they are getting new locker rooms. That’s the weirdest thing I’ve heard for staying at a school.

Well it does seem like those locker rooms cause them a lot of problems

It’s gonna be an offensive guy

Too good for Franklin? Cool. Hope you enjoy Sonny Dykes or whoever the hell they hire instead.

 

[GetEmVols]

Our media is the reason we think no one wants us. Bet these people haven’t even been talked to.

I would rather have someone like Josh Heupel or Scott Satterfield over Franklin.

I agree that it’s weird. Price said it, not me.

I've got some pending bathroom renovations in my house, so I'm definitely not going to accept the new job that I was just offered.

“As for James Franklin, we believe Tennessee was deep in talks with him over the last 24 hours or so but he seems like he is staying at Penn State with locker room renovations heavily in play.”

Would have been a home run!!!!

 

[volgr]

Id rather have Jim Bob Cooter than Dykes. Where is ol Jim Bob these days?

 

[chattaboogie]

Too good for Franklin? Cool. Hope you enjoy Sonny Dykes or whoever the hell they hire instead.

I’d prefer Sonny Dykes to James Franklin.

Isn't Franklin a defensive guy

I’d prefer Sonny Dykes to James Franklin.

why?

 

[s1216]

Am I reading this right the guy is staying for a few cans of paint?

 

[AshG]

Franklin is blocking Vol fans on Twitter left and right. Must be getting tired of the attention.

I’d prefer Sonny Dykes to James Franklin.

How many times did AP even think to mention Danny White as a candidate for the AD position? AP is still getting his info from the good ole boy crew. That applies to Chris Low, as well.

How many “insiders” had Bryan Harsin winding up at Auburn? There were multiple candidates that were discussed and Harsin was never mentioned.

Maybe, just maybe, no one has a clue who DW is targeting. Let the dust settle and react accordingly. Until the announcement is made, there’s no need to panic.

If we have a coach who we believe is a homerun, then pay him 10 million per year if that is what it takes. I have never understood the pearl clutching with coaching salaries. A good coach will bring in massive amounts of money. Paying a lower tier coach 4 million and then buying them out every 3-4 years isn't exactly working

No. Would paying Pruitt or Butch $10mil have made them better? Of course not.

 

[GrizzlyVol]

Nope.

You have to understand the purpose of locker rooms, and showers, at Penn St. to really understand his motivation.

Man, take a shower at Penn St or be a Alabama fan. IDK
