PSU Franklin to interview with Jets?


just browsing PSU site, i'm sure there's no truth to it, but just curious.

I'm confused. What would they be interviewing with the Jets for?

Did they mean the Giants?

 

[qban29]

I have no idea, maybe a position within the Jets? who knows.

@qban29 the thread says NARDUZZI is interviewing, not Franklin

On the one hand, it would explain the seeming exodus of Franklin's assistants.

On the other hand, it would be a ridiculous hire for the Jets.

Of course, on the third hand... it is the Jets we're talking about, here.

 

[qban29]

yeah but one of the comments afterwards state franklin would also interveiw. I was not sure if that was sarcasm or not, but why not explore the option a bit.

The Jets hired a coach last year who took them from 4 to 10 wins, and you believe that they're looking for a new coach after that one year? Guys. Come on.

Old Chinese proverb: It is the fourth hand that bears watching.

I sure hope Franklin stays at PSU for a while.

Jets have an opening for special teams coordinator and that is it. They fired special teams coordinator last week.

Realistically, what was the best you think a coach could have done under a few years of sanctions? I don't know if he's the used car salesman people say he is or if he can or cannot coach, but I think people are over estimating him as a bad coach. He came on during a time when many of the team's best players bolted and he didn't have a full roster of schollies to hand out.

If he gets to stick around with a full roster, he might not be as bad as many think he is.

Maybe not. We'll see. Right now, I think he stinks.

Nits have been trying to get Pitt's goat for a couple weeks with regard to Narduzzi moving on. This is the latest effort

What ridiculous is you are talking about people with a 3rd hand :rolleyes:

Bill O'Brien: 15-9 at PSU, with a strong veteran team that included 3-4 NFL offensive linemen and an All Pro-caliber wide receiver who made a lot of mediocre throws look good. Revered as a great coach, heads to NFL.

James Franklin: 14-12 at PSU, with an FBS-caliber offensive line, largely because his predecessor chose not to prioritize that position in recruiting, and a team missing any semblance of quality depth. Horrible coach.

Don't get me wrong, OB is a better football coach than Franklin, who is much more in the CEO mold. But the perception of these two coaches, considering the situations each had to work with at PSU, are so different it amazes me. Granted, OB can point to some big wins (Michigan, at Wisconsin), but he had much more talent to work with overall.

Nonsense. I practically have a third leg.

 

[rubaseball78]

OB stole a page from Flood's notepad. Should have pulled Hoyer at the half while they still had a chance.

[laughing][roll][jumpingsmile]

Ok, I explored that option a bit.

Hackenburg Although recruited by O'Brien played as an upperclassman under Franklin. Both had Jesse James.Franklin has better running backs (Hampton for sure). Franklin better or equal receivers and TE's. And this years senior deep Defense was better than any O'Brien had. O'Brien had less Scholarships....by A LOT. Really think that his record at PSU was impressive for situation he took over. Just the fact that he held that team and program together is impressive (Although here too he suffered with players being released from scholarship thus forced to play walk ons).

Would be awesome to have Narduzzi go to the Jets!!

Help so much in our recruiting!

 

[ddsmugs]

The more rumors the better it helps with our recruiting as our coach should be here for awhile.

To do what? Pick up jockstraps from the locker room floor?
