hell no. Ferentz could have taken the high road. But he is a punk.
What???? Franklin is a Coach who couldn't be bothered to check a weather forecast at any time in the 120 hours previous to our 2017 game at Michigan State.
Franklin has some strengths as a Coach, but "attention to detail" is not one of them.
The Texas A&M qb that helped beat Alabama was a backup who had a terrible game the week before and played great the next week. We never know. They won big today also.Nope. I'm not about to judge a young athlete based on about a half game and being thrown into a crisis situation.
But you can do what you wish. I'll give him a full game before I'd start to trash him and even then I wouldn't.
Ya think?Well, theyre gonna get at least one penn state fan trolling them on their board, just shoved it to them.
Agreed. I read all the posts from the experts here who claimed that Levis would have been better than Cliff....but he didn't get the snaps with the first team in practice......Fanatics won't give anyone half a break. Mickey Mantle got sent back to AAA in his rookie season. Patience is a virtue. No coach is going to judge a QB on an emergency gig. If Cliff can't play, we get to see what Roberson can do. I wish him well. We have some real "loyal" fans here.The Texas A&M qb that helped beat Alabama was a backup who had a terrible game the week before and played great the next week. We never know. They won big today also.
You've repeated this same thing for 4 years. Why is it at all reasonable to think a coach should be able to predict a 3.5 hour delay? What weather forecast, let alone one 120 hours in advance, would predict weather that would mandate such a delay? You've repeated this so often I'm sure you think it's true. But it's really pretty silly.
So a good friend of mine went to Iowa and now lives there. He has been a Hawkeye die hard ever since he started college there back in 96. He is a season ticket holder and after the loss last week he called me Sunday and rubbed it in , all in good fun, but then stated that if Clifford stays healthy and the defense wasn't gassed because of the decline in offensive plays that they lose that game, in his words by 3 scores. I just got a text from him saying congrats on beating us. He said Penn State definitely exposed us last week and Ferentz spent so much time with the stupid injury argument that he obviously was not focusing on Purdue. He said this loss was 100% Penn States fault.

Well done!They made an entire thread on their board about me from today. I'm flattered.
If we won that MSU game in 2017, we might have been the #4 seed in the playoff.
But we didn't --- and the blame is on Franklin. It's a valid criticism of a coach who likes to talk about being "elite."
You could have saved a bunch of typing and just said, "you're right; it's silly."
You mean the game where an All Big Ten corner dropped a game clinching pick thrown right in his hands. Too bad Franklin wasn’t playing. Grow up.If we won that MSU game in 2017, we might have been the #4 seed in the playoff.

Seriously this is the whole point. Fans are fans. But I'm absolutely astounded that a veteran coach like kf got caught up in this. This is on him and his chicken shit coach that rolled on the turf.hell no. Ferentz could have taken the high road. But he is a punk.
but you always wear a raincoat.I attended that PSU @ MSU game ...... I flew in for the weekend from Colorado.
I knew that rain and thunderstorms were coming. I brought my raincoat. How is it that I would know the weather and prepared but Franklin didn't?

Sweet black rain soaked Jesus.I attended that PSU @ MSU game ...... I flew in for the weekend from Colorado.

There’s a difference between preparing for rain and preparing for a three hour rain delay…you get that, right?Your "quip" does not answer my question. How come, in an age where the internet is a thing, Franklin was not prepared for the weather?
I don't care. The fact that you are still stuck in reverse is your problem. Jay says hello.Your "quip" does not answer my question. How come, in an age where the internet is a thing, Franklin was not prepared for the weather?
On a half, not game, pinned down inside the 10 for the most part, TE failed him twice..Yep, makes perfect sense for fanboys to judge a qb based on one game.
He was a deer in headlights....Purdue had 3 qbs handle Iowa. This isn't Div3 or HS. He didn't have to play like an all American just a decent div 2 QB would have workedYep, makes perfect sense for fanboys to judge a qb based on one game.
Yeah, get rid of him. he sucksHe was a deer in headlights....Purdue had 3 qbs handle Iowa. This isn't Div3 or HS. He didn't have to play like an all American just a decent div 2 QB would have worked
I can’t wait to see our “package“ for the kid. I think he’s gonna KILL it!Yep, makes perfect sense for fanboys to judge a qb based on one game.

LOL….that’s like a wooden stake thru michnitt’s heart. 😎Jay Paterno would kick your ass.
We can worry about that next week! Too much enjoyment to be had reveling in Iowa getting pummeled today!I’m all for this beat down but is nobody here is worried just how bad Roberson is??
That IS ridiculous!You've repeated this same thing for 4 years. Why is it at all reasonable to think a coach should be able to predict a 3.5 hour delay?
