Franklin on Saban Being New Commish

[Chitlin&theDude]

This is worth the read. Franklin makes some good points. It's time to step up and start solving some problems that are starting to really hurt college football.

PSU's Franklin: Saban should be commish of CFB

Penn State coach James Franklin says with the new landscape of NIL and the transfer portal, college football needs a commissioner, and the man for that job is Nick Saban.

Yes!!! Just what we need!! A Bammer being in charge of something. What could possibly go wrong?!?

 

[BanditVol]

Oh HELL no.

 

[OneManGang]

Saban promises to make the NCAA into something the Alabama football team can be proud of.*

*Bonus points and confirmation of your status as an Old Coot if you get the reference.

 

[Special Ed]

College football doesn't need a Commissioner Sa(t)an who would have a hellish bias toward Alabama:

 

[OrangeBloodinTN]

If Saban had been commissioner this year Alabama would have been in the playoffs.

 

[SockeyeVol]

Everyone comes from somewhere. Every sec commish, executive, etc. At some point, you have to trust some people to set aside bias for a former institution. Roy Kramer came from Vandy and certainly showed no bias towards it as SEC commish. What makes you think Saban can't do this just as well as everyone else?

Do you think Šaban will also be biased towards Michigan State, LSU, Toledo, and Kent State?

 

[praxite33]

I'm actually down for that. Saban loves college football. I'm not blind by hate like some folks. Who better than the best to ever coach it?

 

[allstar34bd]

Sign me up for Commissioner Saban.

 

[LibertyVol]

Sign me up for Commissioner Saban.

No, Never trust a gump when it comes to football.

Yeah, just what we need.

A narcissist running the college football landscape.

 

[Volbrando]

Saban hates the current state of college football and even though we all hated him coaching at Bama, he probably would be good to help put some rules in place to help things

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

No, Never trust a gump when it comes to football.

He's not pure Gump. He was rented.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

As we saw with Fulmer, a good coach doesn't necessarily mean you can do other jobs just as well.

Besides that, I think Miss Terry might hurt the man if he threw himself into another high pressure job. It's pretty clear he's enjoying being a TV talking head and he can do that job easily, collect a nice check, see a lot of ballgames, and be at home for the off-season with no responsibilities at all.

He just left hell, so why would he step back in the flames?

 

[utvolpj]

He's already ruined cfb once...

 

[LibertyVol]

He's not pure Gump. He was rented.

lol. That is true. I just don’t want to take any chances. I can’t stand them. I am near irrational when it comes to Alabama.

 

[JBVolunteer]

On paper, I agree with virtually everything Saban has said regarding the current state of college football, NIL and the transfer portal. Definitely, we cannot go on much longer without significant changes.

Possibly an appointed commissioner of college athletics would be able to propose the sort of common sense legislation needed. Sadly, even with my disdain for Alabama; I can’t think of anyone better than Saban for such a role.

He’d be good if the lawyers would let him run the show…but ultimately they wouldn’t and he’d be about as impactful as he was as an Alabama consultant this year.

No such position exists, nor will it.

 

[m1al]

Honestly if you're going to have a commissioner, Saban is probably the best choice..

Enough of this "Gawd no, he's uh bamer" BS. Some of you sound just as dumb as the bama fans you ridicule...

 

[hog88]

What would having a commissioner solve? I highly doubt the conferences are going to give up the control they have now.

 

[Chitlin&theDude]

No such position exists, nor will it.

That's actually the point of the story. There is currently no leadership to make executive decisions, and it's time for some. (the NCAA is a proven impotent bureaucracy.) Make some basic transparent ground rules- limits on transfers, cap NIL, etc.

How so?

OK Let me see if I got this straight. You think Nick Saban should be the commisioner. AND? You use James Franklin as the influencial expert to convince Tennessee fans of the validity of the whole damn thing?

Yeah. Sure.

Long before he accepted the Indwelling and became Lucifer’s Vessel, Nick Saban attended Kent State. I believe that he was there from 1969 - 1973, which means that he was present during the National Guard presence and the tragic shooting. He remained enrolled and played varsity football 70 - 72, graduating in Spring of 73.
