I disagree that an extension for Fran should be measured in wins and losses, though a key indicator. Obviously gun shy how we handled Dino’s contract, extending off one good year but I don’t think it’s a direct correlation to Fran’s situation. He’s a North East guy, whose mended relationships with recruiting and the local community as a whole, while also reaching out to alumni and bringing them back. He’s changed perception and brought a sense of pride back to the program in a very short time. He understands what it takes to thrive in our part of the country.

There’s a story from last year (I’ll probably get some of the details wrong) where Fran went to an event and saw some kid standing by himself. Fran went over to that kid, put an arm around him and said you’re gonna kick it with me. That’s the guy we need for this program.

Sure, if a factory comes knocking, there’s nothing we can do but I want to hit them in their pockets and make them pay for it. Plus, an extension is more symbolic than anything. We support him, we want him here, we’re behind him, there’s stability.
