hey let's look at dino babers and penn st's james franklin

[B]"Nobody punches down quite as well as James Franklin.

Pair Franklin against a team that he should beat, and the results are pretty good. Franklin is now 81-21 (.794) facing opponents that aren’t ranked in the top 10 in 10 seasons at Penn State.

But any time Franklin moves up a weight class, he quickly shows himself to be overmatched. Time and time again.

It happened yet again on Saturday as Franklin’s 7th-ranked Nittany Lions lost to Ohio State for the 7th-straight season. Franklin is 3-16 (.158) against top-10 opponents, including 0-10 on the road. Extended to top-25 foes, Franklin is 13-23 (.361), including 2-13 on the road.

That scenario is Penn State’s existential crisis in a nutshell." (alex hickey)[/B]

Difference being franklin has his team ranked and relevant. but the fan base is still turning up the heat.
Dino Babers needs to have the same burners turned up on his buns. we punch below our weight. 
finish poorly and the conservative play calling boggles most minds. yes there are better coaches out there.
