Franklin presser

L
2 former players, brought into the program, and the university, by Franklin are charged with rape and people actually think reporters won’t ask Franklin about it. It’s not the smallest amount reasonable to think that this would not come up. That PSU didn’t have a better response is negligence. You may not like the reporters or that they asked about it. That’s fine. But to not be prepared for probably the most obvious question asked all year is an indicator of total PR incompetence. As for Franklin, when you make $7m per year, you should be prepared for the question, even if the response is to refer to the university statement. That is all he needed to say. Not too hard.

She did nothing wrong, except acting like a moron and setting a very poor tone for the rest of the PC that was supposed to be about football, which she should know as a member of the PSU FOOTBALL media.

You're defending her like she's your sister. Yep she acted childishly. And she'll have to live with the loss of respect that she will have from Franklin and likely some other media members going forwar.

About the only thing I agree with you on is that no, I don't like it. As lots of others that are football fans don't like the fact that she derailed what is normally a mid week PC on the PSU football team and their upcoming game.

You claiming she's a moron for asking a legit question is emotion based and lacks logic
How is it childish to ask how early the knew about it? Franklin says "Please refer to the statement" and they move on but we handled it poorly
You're trying to blame her for this when if she didn't ask someone else would have. The next reporter, no matter who they called on, was going to do it.
We handled it poorly as a program. Someone needs to be fired for that.

lol because I understand reporters are going to ask questions even when they're told not to? Yes, that's dumb. Have you never seen a press conference before?
It's okay to admit our PR department messed up here--they handled it poorly--don't believe me--see that national take on it.
We continually do this to ourselves

I'm not even remotely wrong here. I told you all it would be an issue before the mainstream media even ran with it. A HC can not walk away from the podium and have someone else speak for him. It's not Franklin's fault--our PR department handled it correctly.

I love that people can't ever accept that Penn State did something wrong--this was obvious but you'd rather blame a reporter for asking a question instead of how the obvious questions was handled

yes. sure, that's true.

bottom line is, i didn't feel comfortable or confident slotting anyone in at 197.

For the record, I'm a big fan of the Crystal Ball format, and especially so with the Brain on the case. I find it way more compelling to know what someone that follows the sport as closely as you do thinks the pecking order is going to be than what some rote formula predicts where judgement only comes into play at the margins. Unless that formula is written by @Unbiased_football_fan, anyway. I'll eat his data any time he wants to share it.

PSU did nothing wrong. It’s not their fault that reporters are too stupid and obnoxious and keep asking questions after being told several times there would be no further comment beyond the press release.

Yes, we handled it incorrectly. The reporters weren't stupid--they asked simple and obvious questions. Who wouldn't expect that? When don't reporters do that?
It's their job to be prepared for it and, if they weren't, that's worse than the bad plan it appears they came up with

Well if your boss tells you not to comment and defer to the SID, then that’s what you do. If the reporter really gave a royal rat’s you know what about when Franklin learned about the charges do a little work and get the arrest record and criminal dockets and compare that to when the players were on kicked off the team.

And, this is why I'm not blaming Franklin--but I understand he'll take heat nationally for it

Yes he was cowering in the corner of thr stage likely due to a directive he was given. That's going to be the takeaway of most. A head coach shouldn't need someone else to control the reporters for him or refer to a statement

This isn't about James. This is about our media relations being incompetent and making him appear weak.
