Uh, how can you ice a kicker in a 0-56 game?!

The only coach that I've seen live that I like less than James "from State College" Franklin is Joe "look the other way" Paterno.

That program is an embarrassment.

EDIT: The "James from State College" name is referencing him calling into Pittsburgh sports talk radio shows as "a Penn State superfan" to try to derail the conversation and steer it to PSU athletics. Yes, he is THAT pathetic.

Lol, what, no "Jimmy for the Nittany Mountain?"

Match made in heaven.

And they are winning. So much winning.

Absolutely beautiful.

The Cult is coming out strong today in defense of this clown move. Right on cue.

It doesn't get much better than Francesa calling Franklin (and Penn St fans for defending him) a "horse's ass" for making a clown move.

 

[TheCusian]

My favorite line of thinking from Cult fans is that the Sandusky stuff is behind them and they are back and better than ever. It's BS. The stuff that went on there will be tied to the university forever.

Hopefully his OC gets hired.

It's a lot worse than that part - he contacted the victim after the incident - for purely altruistic reasons I'm sure - and he also was actively involved in "damage control", to put it diplomatically. Guy is a real peach.

Match made in heaven for that program.

Francessa can't retire. Please don't retire, stuff like this is classic. And for the love of god can he get a simulcast back on TV of his show so we can see these rants like the old days on YES or FS1

Yep he said he contacted her to "help" her. If help means coerce her into not reporting it, then yes he was trying to help

Scum coach at Scum U

The amazing thing about this is whether he is lying or telling the truth he comes across as a jerk.

Whether you are trying to ice the kicker or truly calling a substitution time-out to try and preserve a 56-0 lead on the last play of the game, you are still a clown and .

The fact that Penn St fans think that making a substitution to preserve a 56-0 lead is justifiable, just shows how delusional they are and how they will believe anything told to them is proper behaviour.

 

[Newhouser]

The amazing thing is none of it matters - as long as he wins - and PSU sadly isn't alone in taking that stance.

Glad Numbah One had something to go off on and keep him awake in his waning weeks on the air.

Yes, and I am not sure Mike should be the arbiter of what is and is not classy.

2 different situations. Most college coaches are some form of shady in terms of what they do to win. That is not the issue here.

But even if they are skirting the rules off the field, most will still show class when they are blowing people out 56-0 or they win, Not James Franklin.

 

[Briancuse]

Franklin is a dbag, so glad they get left out of the playoffs this year. I hope they get left out again this year.

To the OP:

PedState has a real issue right now, I mean besides the criminal actions by several high ranking officials, character issues of the entire staff, kool-aid drinking of the entire fan base, they play a relatively weak schedule for a championship caliber team. Right now, they play only two ranked teams, #8 Michigan and #10 Ohio State. They grinding play starts at week 7 and concludes on week 8. They only have 6 cupcakes and tune up games before the grinding schedule and finish off with 4 games that are not much different.

I almost think that Franklin is beating on the little schools like O'le Ball Coach, Florida Gator Steve Spurrier, garnering "style" points by crushing lesser teams while avoiding a real schedule. Not sure whether this is a Franklin trait as it was with Spurrier or if it is due to the weakness of the B1G this season and thinking that he needs to do whatever to keep the ranking. Either way, he proves he has no character, again, ignoring all of the above.
