So Franklin having NFL interviews lined up proves he has no interest in the NFL? Curious logic
Is the B1G swallowing up Pitt?

"you're fooling yourself to think he won't listen if the NFL comes calling."
The NFL has already "come calling" and he didn't bite. Logic! That's rich.
Son, there were dozens of kids from the South on the Pitt roster, and it wasn't because Majors had "connections". Ask your grandfather about how the Golden Panthers operated, how they got caught, and what Pitt did when faced with a few hard decisions.
And as always, ask him about the great Burt Grossman, who famously stated that when he went from Pitt to the NFL, he had to take a pay cut. I believe that line is in Sports Illustrated.

I know all about the Golden Panthers. They operated the same way all big time booster organizations did. If you think the same things weren't happening at PSU you're naive.
It is comical watching these Pitt fans try to convince themselves that the 7 years during the late 70's were the norm for Pitt. I guess it was Steve Pederson's fault in the 80's and 90's. Thus far, Narduzzi has done the same thing Paul Chryst did at Pitt. Actually, I think Pitt was a little more successful recruiting upon Chryst's arrival. The only difference so far is that Narduzzi uses twitter and photoshop.
BUT Franklin can't coach remember....why would the NFL want him?
He's a "terrible game day coach" yet he's leaving in 4-5 years.
It was glaringly obvious that BoB had aspirations of being an NFL head coach. I don't see those same aspirations from CJF. Is he quoted somewhere as saying he aspires to be an NFL head coach?
That being said, I'll say the same thing about Franklin as I did about O'Brien...if the NFL wants you it must mean you're doing something right at Penn State. If that's the case, good luck sir and next man up!
I love when opposing schools use the NFL lure to put a school down. Lol. Yeah, I'd much rather have some half-wit that's there for 10 years with .500 records, just for the sake of having him. Morons.
Penn State pays top dollar for its head coach, they'll always be able to find suitable replacements. Especially if a trend starts where WE ARE a gateway to NFL head coaching. Fine by me!

Don't worry, he'll justify it somehow. He's over here pouting now and he'll figure out a way to convince himself Pitt is the better program. LOL, f-ing idiot.
It's yet to be seen if they will want him. He's going to have to beat the top teams like OSU. He hasn't shown that he's capable of doing that regularly. He's going to be hard pressed to even win his division with Urban and Harbaugh around.
If he doesn't produce the natives will be restless...and if he manages to be successful he'll parley this into a better job e.g. NFL The highest level for his profession...the big time
Pitt Guy and Pitt is # 1
Answer me 1 question. Narduzzi is great and Paul Chryst sucked, right?
You realize that on June 28th of 2012, Paul Chryst's first year that he had 12 commits already including Scott Orndoff and Travon Chapman. Many of the commits are more highly rated than Pitt's current huge class of 3!

You must be a hit at parties...such a charmer...and no worries about disarming folks with your intellect
gotta admit...you're playing both sides of the fence like all Pitt fans. Franklin sucks...but he's going to the NFL. makes no effin sense.
we hear both sides of the fence comments quite frequently.
We're seeing The Greatest Hits of Pitt arguments. This is using a team that just won a National Championship as their surrogate in the discussion. When is Pitt going to be better than Florida State and win the ACC?
They can no longer kid themselves that they are on Penn State's level. They need to use other teams in the Big Boy club of college football.
Yeah, I'm just not understanding something here....how is CJF a terrible game day coach but going to the NFL as well?
I mean, this is why these boards are ridiculous. No one can even remember what they wrote. Their opinions change with the wind.
Is he going to the NFL based on his recruiting ability? Do some people know more than we do and is the NFL going to start recruiting college graduates instead of drafting?
C'mon, at least stick to the same made up bullsh*t, don't waffle.

When you get frustrated and know you're wrong, it's hard to say it. He'll just keep moving the line.

Win the ACC??? Hell, when will they be over .500 in the ACC while playing in the easiest division in the Power 5? Baby steps first.

have to remember it is tough being a Pitt fan....they never were really relevant in the modern era and all the programs surrounding them are successful.... It's tough to take an epic beatdown like that year after year and not become bitter....
I never said he sucked. I said from my vantage point he is a good recruiter but not a very good game day coach. I never saw him coach at Vandy but did catch some PSU games last year where he didn't seem to be on top of things like player substitutions or clock management.
With the Rooney rule in the NFL a viable African American HC candidate is always going be on folks radar with a modicum of success.
I don't have a Youtube page or a Facebook page or a twitter account. I'm not a fan of social media. As far as ladies man, yes I am. Married to my beautiful wife for 33 years and have 2 great daughters, one of whom was a scholarship athlete at PSU a few years ago...first team all Big Ten one year.
you're throwing the Rooney rule as why he could potentially go to the NFL? bro, I had your back for ahwile but you're fading fast.
good recruiting has 0 benefit in the NFL, and if he's "not a very good game day coach", how the f*ck is he going to go to the NFL? c'mon man

He managed to go back to back 9-4 at Vandy even though he beat up the cripples. It was enough to get him a shot at PSU. If he has a couple of years where he parlays a weak schedule into 9 or 10 win seasons he'll be on the NFL radar. Like it or not the Rooney rule is very much in play. It's just reality.
