So we should never hire a coach that coaches in the big X?


This is SECTard logic in a nutshell. Coach X goes undefeated in some other conference : Well look who he's playing, that's not the SEC and if he loses a game, well look who he is playing, that's not the SEC. They just don't understand relative differences, it's impossible to explain to people that only see things in black and white terms.

As for Franklin, TBH i didn't really think of him at the start because i heard he was on the hot seat there. But he has turned it around and combine with back to back 9 win seasons at freaking Vanderbilt, I wouldn't have a problem with us hiring him at all.

James Franklin is on his way to 10-2. By the way, Did LSU beat their poor big 10 opponent? Did bama beat there's two years ago?

the B1G has 4 teams in the top 10. He won 9 games and a bowl 2 years in a row at VANDERBILT. Overall he was 24-15, 11-13 in the SEC at Vandy. At PSU he inherited a team on probation and has improved every year 2-6 in conference 4-4, now he has a shot to make the CCG.

But no we don't want him, we'll take a guy that was 10-28 overall 3-21 in the SEC cause that was 10 years ago and coaches can improve.

Thought I would bump this since I got down voted 26-2. Just goes to show the mentality of this board.

No, we didn't want a guy that won a conference championship in his third year. He should be going to the playoffs as well. We don't want that guy. When I mean we, I mean our fans.

Great bump.
With all that mess that was still there from Paterno/Sandusky sanctions. That Texans coach wasn't gonna do it for damn sure. Franklin is an outstanding coach who just won the best conference in football this season. So many idiots on this board.

There's no question he can coach. But he's not leaving Penn State

Penn State is 11-2 and big 10 champions.James Franklin has turned that program
This is a fluke year at Penn. The big ten is down with the exception of OSU and Michigan.

Penn State has beaten TWO P5 teams with a winning conference record. And one of those wins was the fluke win at Ohio State. Not much to hang your hat on.

Franklin will still be fired within the next 3 years, just like he was going to be this year if not for the outlier season.

Wisconsin says hello......also you say the Big Ten is down? Dude what are you smoking, you do realize that they have 4, YES FOUR TEAMS IN THE TOP EIGHT. Are you an idiot
The SEC is down outside of Bama ole baw

Franklin is the man and he would've been as good of a HC candidate as Herman and possibly Jimbo. But it is too late.

You don't leave penn state for LSU. Sorry, Penn state is a longtime, blue blood, national program.

Mellenials don't know Penn state. They only saw the last few years of Paterno.

82,86- won the title
69,73,78,85,- played for it
94- were the best, most complete team in america.

LSU-Penn state are not equal.

Exactly- Franklin and Penn St. are severely overrated. I am not on the Franklin band wagon...
