What is your issue with Fran?

Let’s be real here. Be honest with yourself?

All I see you do is thrash him?

Why

no issue with Fran whatsoever, who would? but what I don’t like is reading posts here regarding recruiting and the NIL coffers that I do not believe are true. I don’t believe the program is as well positioned financially as many think they are and I think the lack of portal activity is a huge mistake. we have 3 of the best recruiters on staff in the country but we can’t grab a few difference makers in the portal? Please. Why do you think that is? Because some 2.5 star LB from Batavia is ready to play immediately? It’s delusional nonsense and seen it too many times. The all these guys have measurables, bigger, faster stronger, blah blah unti they aren’t. That’s what I am tired of. Love the freshman classes but not backfilling with a few key pieces is crazy, that's my whole issue here

This is perhaps maybe one of the worst takes I’ve ever seen on this board.
 
No mention of Key in his departure tweet from GT. Wouldn't be surprised to hear that they didn't get along.

I was on board with his post until he went off the rails when mentioned the guy from Batavia.
Rollercoaster of a post. I do think he got it together a bit for the final line.
 
Regarding special teams stats, in my un-expert opinion I want to know how many punts and fgs were blocked, what's the FG %, and coverage teams, how many yards are you giving up.

Well clearly you have an issue with the way the team is being built, and Fran is the one building the team, so therefore you do have an issue with Fran.

Patience my friend.
Come August and the Team is as is, id be slightly concerned. But I doubt that will be the case.
Although, I have alot more confidence that development of players will dramatically improve.

we can see what next year looks like when we get there and the feeling is mutual I assure you. I have been on this forum 27 years I assure you this is not one of the worst takes. i think some of yours will prove to not age well though

Exact same take. It’s amazing how people get all worked up with this. Everyone loves Fran but not acknowledging that the approach from 2024 recruiting to 2025 changed is a bit weird. He totally crushed it in 2024 in a very short time . Nobody is saying to pound the portal but not recognizing that we may need at OT and a couple LB’s is putting a lot of trust in a HC and program that we have had over the last 20 years. I love the culture Fran is implementing but we also had one of the best QB’s in the country and still had to fight and scrap for a 9-3 regular season record with a very manageable schedule. Whoever the QB is next season you can pretty much guarantee it’s going to be a step back. It also seems like people are punting on next season because of the brutal schedule and numerous roster question marks. Fran doesn’t seem like a guy who would punt on anything. The portal OT that Maryland bought and multiple LB’s that were bought shows that we are not even close to compete in the current NIL landscape. Fran obviously identified those are positions of need or he wouldn’t have went after them. All i’ve ever wondered is if we went away from a recipe that worked last season on purpose, or because of NIL competition. Also, not being able to admit this class, HS/Portal combined, has taken a step back. I’ve also never heard a HC who said he wasn’t excited with the guys he currently has signed and on the roster. Again, I love Fran, but if we didn’t have Kyle we probably win 6 games this year with one of the more manageable schedules we’re going to see. There were huge questions on defense and special teams that I really didn’t see fixed. Expecting next year is going to be a developmental year in todays CFB landscape is wishful thinking. We finally have some momentum. Being able to follow up on that to show it wasn’t a fluke or just because of Kyle would go a long way.

That’s what i would look for. It seems this guy had a good kicker and a good kick return guy. I’m more interested in punt coverage and KO coverage. Also, were any blocked kicks or FG’s given up.
