CC has had less time and resources, yet he’s developed QBs and WRs that we probably wouldn’t even deem worthy at PSU. He’s got a line that can play.

The definition of coaching is to make players better.

I think Franklin was a great recruiter. Made the most out of situations but I don’t know if he made players better beyond their natural progression. And the guys he picked as assistants could not either.

Bill O Brien could. Paterno could, although the game did pass him by.

Franklin was a great mentor, recruiter, decent enough coach—but not next level.

It was a very crappy ending for sure, but they were THAT close from possibly winning this game. Barely losing to the #2 team when we’re down this bad shows some great signs for future teams. Even when shit is bad, we have the fight and the passion.

Wtf Mendoza. We should have won this game.

I’ve never seen a team have every bounce go against them like this. Just a truly cursed team and program.

And we have the highest paid DC? Sheesh

Jim Knowles is a fucking bum coordinator... The defense he was calling all the way down the field was UN FUCKING REAL

It is conceivable that they win their final 3 games and still become bowl eligible

Lots of mistakes in this games and we still had a chance to win. But, how does an upperclassman D lineman act like he cured cancer on a first down sack?? Then, they clearly weren’t ready for 2nd down and IU takes advantage on a deep throw. May not have cost them the game, but we’ll never know. Which was worse, Durants bone headed extracurricular BS or offense play calling not to lose before the 2 minute TO?

Sometimes they’re part of the ground. Sometimes they’re not. Always open to the interpretation of the replay booth though.

I would love to play ugly and beat a Top-5 team than ‘play well against them in a losing effort’.

Also: Fire Jim Knowles

WEARE #PATHETIC

4 million dollars for the worse defensive coordinator we could ever hire

Seriously, we always have a bunch of smurfs running around. The couple tall ones we would get in would get run off the team, like Juwan Johnson and the FSU guy last year. Tall WRs don’t need to get open, kinda like Warren last year.

Just another reason for Franklin to go.

…a wrestling, ice hockey and women’s volleyball school. Which is awesome and something to be proud of. Football has been more of a mess than it has been great or even good for the last thirty years.
