Franklin in legendary company
Anytime you make a list with Rich Brooks on it…

2-18-1 landed Brooks an NFL gig!
-
Obligatory:
-
He had enough T to beat Petersen in a big game because of the coug wife.
He's cracking, Penn St is a Washington type of job where you gotta be a killer/mental type. You can't just lean on crowd shit to carry you through big games.
-
That's crazy.
Oddly enough, his same record in the NFL.
-
The worst thing for Penn State is that he got it to OT so it's another "oh so close maybe next tim."
Instead of getting embarrassed 31-3 or something like it looked it would be after Oregon marched down the field twice in the second half.
-
at least he doesn’t look like the defeated and dejected Sark on the sidelines in the 4th quarter
-
George Welsh was at Navy a long tim — most of those losses were probably vs Notre Dame
-
If Sark stopped being Sark it wouldn’t be any fun watching Texas. He even fooled the Manning family.
-
Followed it up with the first loss by a top 10 team to a winless team (I guess 4 games in at least) in 40 years.
-
Since you're the resident Penn State expert - looks like Franklin's buyout is $51 million. You think they can make that happen?
-
I don't, at least not right now. They're in the middle of a bunch of serious stadium renovations for the next 2 years and put a lot of money into the hockey team this year to try to natty in that. I don't think hockey is cheap cause they have real NHL prospects getting paid. Chump change compared to the 50m buyout of course but I honestly don't know where that money comes from when the donors have been asked to fund the stadium renovations plus all those football players who came back + hockey. I mean check out who their stadium sponsor is.
I think they'll let Franklin coach this year and see if he can unfuck their mental block and see where things stand. Franklin sucks and PSU would be better off moving on but they may need to do a Harbaugh deal and get Franklin to take a pay cut first. Or hope he wants to move on himself.
-
Franklin didn't bother debating with anyone in his exit this time.
-
chinned for “unfuck their mental block”
-
Does Oregon get an extra win for beating them twice?
-
I don't think there is a program more dependent on one coach for their identity than Penn State. Nebraska had Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne. They hired Solich who lost to Miami in the BCS championship and wasn't good enough so they fired him and have been shit ever since
Franklin has won 71 percent of his games which gets a statue at most schools. He just has a knack for losing the important ones. I guess if you gave hm enough time he may win late like Bobby Bowden but Bobby was winning all of the little ones when he was losing the big one
Solich won 75% of his games
-
That's funny in how I think back at Solich as kind of a loser. I would not have guessed 75%
-
One of the endearing things about Husky fans is how every coach sucks and is a loser unless they happen to be sucking and losing at Washington. Then they need more time
-
Quite honestly I can't think of any other. Ferentz and Iowa? LOL
The only possible contender is Kansas State and Snyder.
