Fran's Game 7 Press Conference | Pitt

[Cusefan78]

I'm not convinced that he is money oriented, given that he makes way more money than he needs.

Needs and wants are two different things. Fran is worth much more then su is paying him. Hopefully they know that and have offered him a massive raise (ie. More than double what he makes now)

PSU could certainly bring in Fran for an interview but I don't see how they can try to hire a coach like Fran at this point. Maybe that would be feasible for them in a couple years but he is still unproven as a HC. A program like PSU doesn't hire a excellent recruiting position coach who had one good first season as a HC, and the next heading toward a question mark. Their a program that hires a proven winner as a HC.

I'd be very surprised if Fran interviewed.

Just like Franklin was worth a 10 year contract.

Anyways, I believe Fran is committed to SU for the time being and more money is not a lever to get him.

Okay so pardon my ignorance from earlier, some of you folks are upset about the way he answered the question on the penn state opening. That’s respectable. I would also agree he could have answered it a bit better but let’s make one thing clear, he isn’t going anywhere this year or next.

It seems the university has given Fran everything he asked for. That’s after taking a chance on him. Penn st has more money and will sell out because they are a state school. He will also be under the microscope more and if he thinks our journalist are difficult he would be in for a challenge. Hope he stays but if he goes I have faith in JW. Won’t replicate Fran but will be looking for someone similar.
