What must HCJF do different/better this upcoming?
- Thread starter 12375CAT
- Start date
Call some of the posters on this board and get all the answers.
My main in game criticism of coach is his time management. If he can clean that up some I would be happy.
Quite frankly, there is nothing he can do that hasn't been for the upcoming season. He has demonstrated that he cannot manage a game real time. If he had the ability to learn how to manage the clock, he would have already. With an 11 year sample, it is clear he will simply not improve in this regard. Same for recruiting. We will continue to have massive holes in the roster and have multiple square pegs in round holes on both sides of the ball. He has shown he has the ability to hire a pragmatic offensive coordinator (which we currently do not have, especially in the portal era). He needs to find that ability on both sides of the ball but that is best left for the offseason. Bottom line, we are what we are and what we are looks like a repeat 7 win team.
Wondering how he would be doing had he stayed @ the Commodores. They would be happy with 7W/season but not the Lions.
Uh this is Franklin’s 9th season at PSU coming up. Any more “wisdom” you want to share with us?
Nope, other than get ready for a five loss season. Franklin's overarching philosophy is flawed and not exactly compatible with Big Ten football. It has proven to work in the SEC but proven not to work in the Big Ten unless you are Ohio State.
Well I’m sure he could cure all his problems if he just consulted with you.
So obviously none of the other coaches in the Big 10 have the right philosophy either….interesting.
I challenge you to quote the post where I advise CJF how to coach. I am here to learn football from some of the most accomplished couch coaches in the nation. Taking detailed notes about "metrics" and the consequences of pounding square pegs into round holes. It's all very fascinating.
Improve the o-line and running game. To his credit, he recognizes that these have been weak points of the teams he's coached
All the experienced and talented members of the NNNNNCAC are dedicated to helping CJF with his coaching and meet here every day. They are omniscient and omnipotent football minds honed by years of beer drinking and couch analyzing all the trends on the gridiron. You can't buy this sort of advice!
Every time I see the no #1 WR for 6 years thing I have to laugh. 15th overall picks aren't #1 guys I guess.
I walked out of the Cotton Bowl on 12/28/2019 feeling pretty damn good about PSU Football.....and I've seen the ups and downs since 1966.
With JB as the bell cow and MP on the other side of the ball.....I thought PSU had a shot at another top 10(and possible playoff spot)finish.
The HC who engineered 3 eleven win seasons hasn't forgotten how to do the job.
No one can be happy with all that happened the past two years (actually, I totally dismiss 2020 because of the mess that the Presidents and AD's made of the COVID response and the unique protocols that PSU required resulting in massive loss of preparation and practice time,)
Coaches, players and officials do err.......only our beloved couch coaches never have and never will make a mistake.
Yeah, thought that was an incredibly stupid statement.
Unlike some on here, I leave the coaching to the professionals.
And I'm very confident that the PSU admins will not hesitate to pull the plug on him quickly if they feel his presence impacts their bottom line. They have shown that given the right circumstances they would be supplying a phone number for him to call regardless of terms left on his contract. That does instill some degree of confidence they will do the right thing.
LOL wishin and hopin.....70 milion to buy out cjf and more to hire a new guy......LOL are you brain dead?
How much you think it cost them to remove Paterno? LOL, you've got a real short memory.
Or, perhaps you think the BoT is reluctant to spend large amounts of money. Bwhaaa!!!

What will happen and what I'd like to see happen aren't relatively close.
- I'd love to see a FB on the field. A nasty dude to lead block, pass block, run some wham, and catch a few balls in the flat.
- I'd love to see the scheme adjusted to help the OL. Plays designed for OL to fire out so they're not always on their heels trying to stop penetration.
- Minimize plays with zero yards gained or loss of yards. Above two adjustments should help there. This, in turn, helps extend drives and keeps the D fresh.
Slim down playbook with MY so OL has a chance to not be confused AF. He recruited top level RB talent so let them run. Stop with BS call like going for it, 4th down on our side of field. No more boneheaded Michigan fake FG choices. Play real football.
Me too....but sadly the only way we will ever see 1 and 2 again will be on old game films. Nothing says football to me like a fullback stepping on the toes of a LB.
I want to see a more physical offense and a more physical defense, especially the defense. The teams that beat us last year outside of tOSU were not as good as we were at the skilled positions, we lost games at the line of scrimmage. Not to constantly be looking backwards but strength on the DL/LB and OL is what allowed PSU to be so successful on the road and in bowl games......go back and watch many of the years and teams could not run on us, and we could run on many teams.......mix in a few highly skilled WRs, and DBs to a strong RB group and you did not need to have the greatest QBs you could win almost anywhere with a smart game manager QB......
How many #1 receivers get shut down by corners in single coverage? The answer is none but it happened routinely last year to said 15th pick.
Should be pretty easy for NFL teams to defend then.
Guess we can change the topic of this thread to: "define #1 WR"
Easy to shut down any receiver with a bad O line and an injured QB.
You are talking out of your ass again. Guy had 90 plus catches was most productive vs Ohio State. Not to mention a first round draft choice in the NFL.....Now you profess to be more knowledgeable than CJF..... but substituting your couch coach knowledge for NFL scouts and coaching is quite a leap.....even for someone as delusional as you.

Curious which game he was shut down.
Michigan was probably his worst game if you put things into perspective.
Considering we couldn't run, at all, last year, it's quite the feat that Dotson had 1100+ yards.
But yes. Let's talk about how great Geno Lewis was. He's the #1 who got away...(and never became more than a #3).
Someone is a square peg trying to fit into a round hole......LOLJahan Dotson College Gamelog | College Football at Sports-Reference.com
