Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Franklin is like someone trying to convince me to enjoy Brussel sprouts.

Them: “Oh, but it’s so good for you.”

Me: “I’ve tried it, and I despise it.”

Just imagine if Brussell sprouts could immediately pack on 30 pounds of muscle. You'd love them then. Just like when Franklin brings us back to winning 10 a year and competing for championships

 

[Johnny Majors]

I have no idea why Beaver is getting a platform of credibility in the RF after the Gruden chronicles.

 

[HankHill]

He's also biracial, isn't he? So he gives you your warm and fuzzies, no? With the proven record to go along with it. Home run

Yup. Franklin is for sure a home run and i would compare us pulling him to Texas A&M pulling Jimbo. Give Franklin Jameis at PSU and he probably has a title just like jimbo.

Well Schiano was accused by someone who heard something of an incident 20+ years ago at the time , how come the fanbase lost their minds about him being hired then?

Cause he would have been a garbage hire

 

[MarcoVol]

Who wants to make a bet? Will @Neyland Rising catch up first or will we have a head coach first?

Just got a like from page 4288 three minutes ago. He’s falling farther behind.

He was .500 at Rutgers. I don't think that's immensely successful. I understand they're a crap program, but his record there gave me heartburn.

one could argue that Vandy was an even worse program that Rutgers, especially considering facilities and being in the SEC, yet Franklin was still very successful there.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Anybody that thinks that PSU didn't look into everything possible in order to clear James Franklin after the worst scandal in history is crazy.

And Greg Schiano was vetted and looked into at OH St. Whats the difference?

 

[engineerVOL]

Penn State had an horrible year last year, wonder what happened.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Only one race, bass. I know what you mean, but it's not even worth mentioning.

I agree. I'm not the one who mentioned it. @HankHill is.

 

[T Dog]

then I say f@$k white and franklin and good bye Tennessee.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Self aggrandizing isn't your style nick! But we do appreciate your selfless sacrifice for others well being

People like that burn me up. Dude, you’ve got your mask strapped on. Great for you. Who do you think you are to try and push that on her?

 

[VEKZY]

And Greg Schiano was vetted and looked into at OH St. Whats the difference?

Schiano sucks as a coach

 

[PeerlessVol]

There are alot of football coaches that have baggage. I am an attorney, and simply being the defendant in a lawsuit means crap. I can't say that I like the guy, and his Vandy record was a little fluffed, but he can win games.

True, his win against Florida his last year was with McElwain at the helm. Still, Candy should never be that far in the positives with their W/L for any given year, let alone two years out of theee

 

[Ashevolle]

In regards to your first sentence..... who out of even semi realistic candidates are “for sure better” than Franklin. I really can’t think of any based on resume. It’s all about how you view each persons potential and upside.

There are none. From a pure coaching standpoint, we would have just gone out and hired a top 10 college football coach. I honestly didn't think that would have been possible before this all began. There's no way to not be awe-struck of DW's abilities if he pulls this off.

 

[Ten_Titans]

How hyped are y'all gonna be when it's Campbell out of nowhere.

 

[bluegrasser]

Add bacon tho

Is Yurchich tagging along as OC the “bacon” in this scenario?

 

[VFL92]

Someone needs to be sold on James Franklin after making Vanderbilt relevant and kicking our ass while he was here? Our fanbase is funny.

The same people who need to be SOLD on why James Franklin is a legit HC are the ones who would have no problem explaining to you why Kiffin is qualified for the job.

Again, please name me another FBS coach that currently has what is said on his resume.

This isn’t a guy paying player on the side man. That’s completely different that some of the stuff that has come up against Franklin.

100% agree.

 

[99Vol]

Fired? I don’t know. I’ll just say this. If Donde and Boyd hire him after their integrity spiel I’ll never a trust a word they say again.

And I won’t watch the football team. Nobody will care but I’m not gonna follow them with somebody like Franklin leading the way. I want nothing to do with that guy.

Can’t argue with that. I’m no fan of his and with all the things going on in college football smoke is most always fire. $ and despite hides a lot.
Despite the smoke and wins for that matter, never liked him.
I will watch the team though...

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

And Greg Schiano was vetted and looked into at OH St. Whats the difference?

Greg Schiano was a DC who was vetted by a slimy head coach. PSU was forced to cover their bases to the extreme in hiring their HC after what had happened there. Not even close to the same thing

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Fun fact. The OC for PSU is Kirk Ciarrocca who was basically Fleck's OC and right hand man since 2013.

Fun Fact. Not ture. Kirk is gone Franklin just hired Yurich

 

[seaofORANGE22]

Tony Elliott keeps being interesting to me the more I learn.

Penn State had an horrible year last year, wonder what happened.

Their whole team opted out basically and their star RB had a season ending injury. Their version of Hank T opted out, expect their version is much better and is about to be a top 7 NFL draft pick.
