Just remember he loves South Florida not the redneck meth making capital of the south.

Franklin was arrogant and condescend ending to the questioner and stated that Penn State throws to open receivers? Franklin was self-assured about no throwing contested catch balls. The thought of actually listening to a competent question was dismissive in Franklins mindset.

Not to get too technical to fellow elitedoggers but I would like to bring up something about the pass attack. Running a pass pattern in a schematic drawn up play is entirely different than running a pass pattern as a tagged receiver who has to find a way or solve how he is covered.

As a scheme participant receiver steps are counted and geometric compliance is emphasized. A tagged match-up receiver closes the gap to the defender to inflect stress and works the defender with step sequences to disorient the defender. The receiver has built in discretions to get to his spot decided by the offense.

This is taught in the NFL, Ohio St., and Mater Dei High School yet not even known or accepted by Franklin thus a low ceiling at PSU and a rightful termination?

I think you need a mix of both in an offense. Because one on one match ups are based on Jimmy's and Joe's and if you don't have the better Jimmy and Joe you need a way to get the ball to your playmakers. That's where things like crossing routes come into play. Now, that said if you have the better Jimmy's and Joe's it does make sense to take advantage of that.

Frankin's offense was always old school run first at Penn State for the most part. Pretty boring scheme to watch.

Either one is closer to where he wants to be than Oxford.

Miami lost again today. Sexton probably has him an interview set up already. If Miami or Florida opens up I think Kiffin is gone to one of them.

Maybe they hire a college coach, but I doubt it. I don't see their job affecting anything in CFB

They hired that squirrelly guy coaching them now. Anything is possible.

I don't think LK bolts for the NFL. He's working the hell out of the portal and can get the kind of players he wants. That's much harder to do in the NFL and he knows that and he wouldn't make anymore money. He's a giant prick but he's no dumbass. I think he stays at the collegiate level.

I would fire him just because of the way he dresses.

They'll consider Kiffen but once their schedule evens out you'll see how much they consider him. It'll be like Mullen when he was here.

They go with Cignetti.

Or maybe Rhule.

UAB fired Trent Dilfer today.
