CJF to Tennessee?
- Thread starter Thus Spoke Mainer
- Start date
These guys have any idea how much money we have been giving away to anyone that wants it the last few years?????? $10 million is nothing but chump change.
James Franklin ain't going anywhere.
I’m going to say this as clearly as I can.
Penn State is as good a gig as any CFB a coach will get. Period. Big time football. Big time pay. Excellent, if spoiled rotten, fan base.
CJF not going anywhere.

Penn State is a top 10 coaching job, past , present , and future.
Bama, Ohio ST., Michigan,Miami,FSU, OU, Tex, USC, and ND are the others.
Tennessee wasn't happy with 2 and 3 loss seasons dumping Phil and they have been in a tail spin since. As one of the posters in this thread said Penn State has a patient fan base.
If you read the tea leaves, the press is stirring the pot, Greg is an SEC guy, we aren't that naive.

Franklin is smart enough to know that he has Penn State close to being a national power again and when he does, he'll get his payday. He knows he could make $20 million in 2-3 yrs at UT, but then be out of a job.
Yes, and he'll name Rahne as his OC. Jeeesh!
Franklin would be a Boone to their recruiting.They pay coaches at Tennessee? I thought they were all volunteers.
Hope we don’t have to listen to TN fans tell us how its better job for a head coach, just like Shoop few years ago.
PSU was always and will be a better school for football coaches then TN.

I still cannot figure out why anyone with PSU ties would patronize the organization that fraudulently took down our university.
Because they are SEC shills, and if they make up stories about how coaches from other conferences, especially the B10, want to go there, it helps perpetuate their false narrative about the SEC. The fact that it might hurt PSU is just bonus to them.
The biggest drawback to coaching at Tennessee is that the coach would
have to move there.

You do realize that all those are made in Kentucky except the Jack right?
no...I don't drink...thanks for the update, though. (the point was to make a joke, not to be factually correct).
I have a lot of fun pointing out all the Mayflower trucks to my wife on trips! 'Hey dear, its a Mayflower truck. Wonder where the Ravens are headed?'
Within the next month, my neighbors postman's aunts adopted sons 5th grade teacher will be guaranteeing Franklin to be going to all of the 7 SEC jobs opened by bowl time. I think he is very happy where he is and is building an absolute beast. Of which could have been awakened years ago had Joe retired and they hired outside the group. Looking forward to the ride!
The drunk guy at the end of the bar at the FL/GA line told me the same thing. Said that CJF fancies Shoops wife and Shoop will be named Assistant to the Head Coordinator. Take that to the bank.
Why should Franklin wait 2-3 years to get more money? IMO, there is NO chance of him leaving Penn State, but it is clearly in his financial interest to say little or nothing in response to rumors about Tennessee (or other schools) wanting to throw money at him. If the rumors become sufficiently strong or widespread, it will make Sandy, Barron, the BoT, and wealthy PSU donors nervous about keeping Franklin, and increase the likelihood of a contract extension and raise. Happens all the time in CFB.
They just gave Franklin a raise and an extension. If he's angling for another one on the heels of that, and I don't think he is, they should let him take another job.That being said, Barbour & Co. didn't make the last round of negotiations easy. Doing that doesn't exactly endear you to the coach and, more importantly, his agent.
McElroy talked about it again today. Said Tenn should back up the truck and pay him. He didn't mention that PSU is a better job than Tenn. I'm wondering why coaches like Malzahn, Chryst, or others are never mentioned but Franklin is. Hell, Auburn fans were ready to run Gus out of town after his second loss this year.
And on a daily basis, McElroy demonstrates why he didn't win the Rhodes Scholarship.
