Have we been bamboozled, as some have suggested, by a rah rah, good recruiter guy who really has no clue how to run a big time program or offense? Expectations were so low at Vanderbilt that any success was considered a miracle. Did Franklin play his success at Vandy into a big money deal, like Matt Cassel did with the Pats a few years ago? We shall see and that should come as soon as 9/12 vs. Buffalo. After yesterday, the entire offensive staff's jobs should be on the line. This is not an acceptable performance by a staff with the talent on the squad. I don't want to hear that it's the Oline, Hack, etc. that is what the coaches get paid for and you better play the best guys you have on the squad or you will lose the team. It looked like the team quit on the staff yesterday and maybe deservedly so. If I were Hack, I would be screaming in Chef Hand's ear to get Palmer off the field before he gets killed. Gee, to think we thought Hack was arrogant when he got into yelling matches with Donovan on the sideline last year. Maybe he was telling him he didn't know shit about running an offense. O'Brien knew what he was doing offensively, see Matt McGloin now. Unfortunately, I fear this is a low point in the post-Paterno years and will continue to be so because I am beginning to have no faith whatsoever in Franklin and his staff, especially offense. Even in the dark years of Joepa, we were able to do more than what happened yesterday.
