Was in the playoff last year. Wow
By Penn State. That's a big job that just came open. Buyout was 48 million dollars.
Who does Penn State go after?
Dan Mullen to Penn State!
Kiffin to UNLV!!**Quote:

They go with Cignetti.
I know a lot of PSU alums and they got tired of him never beating OSU, Michigan and now Oregon. He could never win against a top team and they did not see Boise State or SMU as top level teams. He basically was their Dan Mullen with more talent and an easier schedule. Now they run the risk of hiring a Moorhead though and falling to Wisconsin status. Not sure I agree with the firing, but I understand the frustration of a coach not being able to win a big game
Wow. Talk about a reactionary decision.
Guess they believe it's never too early to start looking.
Just who in the hell do they think can do better.
Who can we write a check to on their OL?
Kiffen’s buyout is $36 million
This screams they have a big fish lined up. Think urban Meyer might return? Still pretty young
CigenntiQuote:

That is likely what the buyout is if fired- not to take another job. That's probably around 5-10MM
I'm sure LSU is subliminal ESPing PSU take Brian Kelly please. We will wave any buyout that PSSU might have to pay.
Moorhead to PSU
Kiffins buyout is only 2 million if he leaves for another job.Quote:

Elko ain't leaving a money heaven for a State school that MSU probably has more money.Quote:

Plus PSU has a top 10 budget while Mississippi has a top 30 budget.

No one thinks more of OM than them, and unfortunately, usQuote:

Penn State is a much better job than Mississippi in football.
Lame has settled in and is doing something Mullen couldn’t do- not yelp at every decent job that comes open. Lame likely only leaves for Bama/LSU/Miami type job. He’s not going way north or making a lateral move
I can definitely see both Miami (nfl) and LSU opening up this year.Quote:

I could see it. He loves living in FloridaQuote:

A case in point was a press conference he had when asked about the lack of 50 – 50 balls or contested catches at Penn State when opponents beat Penn State with contested catches.
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?
