A week has gone by and we've heard basically nothing. I guess it's safe to assume it's nobody from the current staff. But could it also mean Franklin struck out with his top choice?
OC search
- Thread starter fairfaxlion2
- Start date
IMO, that means he wants someone from a team that played yesterday, and he knew he could not really get their time for an interview until this week.
I think we are still under some Freeh/Mitchell BS that we have to post a job and have to wait at least 14 days before making any hires....could be wrong but I think this is what we are waiting for. Expect an announcement this week or next whenever the BS timetable is up
Franklin said Rahne will call plays for bowl game but OC will come from outside program. New OC will spend time evaluating talent during bowl period.
I guess Franklin is doing this on his own instead of involving us. Weird.
James Franklin is smart and aggressive and unafraid. Expect a home run. I do.
I meant Franklin using Survey Monkey to make the hire. Lol, but I just might make a poll.
You do realize he kept the same staff that he's had since his very first day as a HC? This isn't a guy who's been hiring/firing people for decades. It is pretty new territory for him.
I hope you are being sarcastic otherwise you must have se kind of agenda that doesn't involve being a PSU Fan.
You do realize coaching has been poor since Franklin took over, right?
Perhaps some changes should have happened earlier?
You're being too transparent. The effective trolls take a more subtle approach, sprinkling in some positive comments with the trolling
Oh stop
When will some of our fans like you realize there are plenty of us that can be objective. Lack of objectivity already got us into major trouble once.
As we saw with Paterno, a coach can be loyal to a fault. Donovan never had a good offense and I'm not so sure Franklin should have brought him along in the first place.
Yep and he is going outside this time. Any question on how well he recruits? His staff is very loyal to him for a reason, as well. This is his destination job and time is on his side in this search. He will get what he wants. I believe that.
See, again, same problem with this post. Just trying to offer some feedback. I can respect a creative troll but your strategy...it needs a lot of work
He won 9 games in back to back years at Vanderbilt...of course he's going to bring his staff with him.
Nope, don't realize that at all. Maybe to some fans with unrealistic expectations, but not to fans who understand what he's been up against.
Just to narrow it down a little bit.

"Right now we're looking outside the program," Franklin said of offensive coordinator search. Adds could be from NFL, HC, assistant, etc.

And Donovan's offenses were not the reason. I don't think he ever cracked the top 85 nationally. That is not good. I'd literally rather have the Jay and Galen show.
Wanny as OC. That blows my mind. CJF is a wily one. Getting the analyst gig just to woo Wanny. Think about it. With Wanny PSU would really dominate the state in recruiting. Makes sense.I heard CJF interviewed Wannstead yesterday.
Wanny would construct a brick wall around the entire region for recruiting. It would be a very impressive and expansive wall, rivaling Donald Trump's Mexico wall.Wanny as OC. That blows my mind.

Now if he could get Pitt to pay for the wall, that would be really impressive.
