Texas enjoying the Nebraska curse of firing a serviceable coach thinking it was either playing for titles every year or nothing and now they are just running through coaches and becoming irrelevant.

To be fair even when A&M and OU are both good there's more than enough talent just in Texas for UT to be right up there with them

They have had a run of coaches who simply cannot turn the recruiting stars into on-field production

10-9 over his last 19 games. 2-12 against top 10 opponents including losing 8 in a row. I'll no longer be miffed if he leaves for somewhere else, though I'm not thinking of firing him unless next season looks much the same. Hopefully they can hang on to both their blue chip QB recruits and actually have something to work with there. Not feeling too optimistic at this point.

A .500 record in one-score games is totally fine.

I get why Penn State fans wouldn't mind seeing Franklin leave, but Franklin feels pretty close to Penn State's ceiling as-is. Penn State has been the best team in the Big 10 not named Ohio State over the past 5 seasons.

That's my point, they ran out a perfectly serviceable macklin brown because he wasn't winning titles every year and now they are reaping a bunch of poo poo coaches. They absolutely DESERVE sarkesian.

I get PSU fans frustration with franklin, but looking around at who is available and what's happening with texas, nebraska, etc would give me pause. Same boat as UM in a lot of ways. Take A&M for an example, would PSU be comfortable with a situation like that? Cause it looks like a step towards worse.

Man, what an incredible loss. Sark was an uninspired hire and I’m not optimistic for his tenure at Texas. Team keeps getting worse as the season goes on so I’m unsure what gets fixed in the offseason.

Idk, has been a lost decade so don’t have super high hopes, really just a competent team at this point.

Hence why I'd prefer to be more conservative with it and keep him around and see what he's able to do in the next two years. There's a pretty vocal subset that wants him gone yesterday which would just be foolish. If he leaves on his own though, what are you gonna do, ya know? Well, not hire Steve Sarkisian I guess.

I feel pretty good about where A&M stands, unless you’re taking the salary into account. We’re talented as hell, the defense is elite; we’re probably a quarterback injury away from being 1-loss team. I think we’re in a much healthier place than Penn State.

They are college football's most average team and produce a weird amount of NFL talent. There's something to admire about them.

NC State is always good for one (1) insane upset a year, they're kind of the ACC's equivalent to Kansas State in that respect. Don't know enough about SEC to have that conference equivalent, my eyes just see 'Bama and glaze over.

PSU without a quarterback injury might be an undefeated team. With lower ranked recruiting classes. Also, I didn't mean to disparage A&M; they have money to do what their doing. It's just a good comparison to think about, and i'm not sure PSU is ready to pay like A&M did. If they did, then I think the fans would have even higher expectations.

I didn’t watch the UF game Saturday. After sewing up the loose ends on the mother of all hangovers with a few slabs of bacon and some caustic black coffee, I spent the afternoon wandering around the beautiful grounds at Sierra Nevada in Asheville, drinking sparklingly bright wet hopped beer right out of the loving brite tank and laughing at the points and yards being racked up by a basement dwelling SoCon team playing a paycheck game in the swamp.

I don’t have any insider info obviously, but I doubt Stricklin—who brought Mullen to Gainesville—is going to fire him at the end of the season, but I also don’t think Mullen has any business coaching the Gators next season.

After giving up the most points ever—to anyone, much less Samford—in a half of Gator football, he was indignant with media and said it was disrespectful to the game to bemoan a win.

This is clownshoes nonsense and he’s totally lost the narrative.

I will watch us likely lose to Mizzou and FSU the next two weekends, and hopefully we can miss a bowl and put a dagger in this amateur hour bullshit once and for all.

Hearing the Mullen as better than Kirby all last year and right after their Bama game this season was absurd. I’m not saying Kirby is the next Saban but any actual observer had to see that they aren’t on the same level. Kirby makes some… decisions but Mullen is still operating like he is at Mississippi State but he isn’t.

Stricklin is the problem. He seems perfectly happy with Mississippi state part 2 as UFs football program. There’s just nothing there to push Mullen to do better, so he doesn’t.

I've never heard a serious person say this, but Mullen schooled the poo poo out of him last year.

Mullen just doesn't think he has to recruit to keep up with two of the best recruiters of all time which :suicide:


Also, I just kind of hate him. I hate when these smug shitheads don't take responsibility for their failings.

I know you hate Spurrier but he backed up his poo poo-talk all day long and took responsibility when things were going sideway. ALWAYS.

Mullen has failed in Gainesville and it's ugly as hell. Which is a shame because that team last year was a functional defense away from a title.

Throwing a 31yo LB coach right into playcalling duties against Samford shouldn't have resulted in, well, that. Do we really not have anyone more experienced on staff to take over? Pasqualoni is on staff.

Anyway, I dunno. Throw the whole loving program in the trash.

If Franklin stays and keeps Yurcich and his recruiting class intact, that's okay. But some assistant coaches need to be sacrificed for how bad the OL and RBs are. He has the best QB in the country coming in and that will buy him a couple of years.

But I also think Franklin is quickly becoming a stale and probably hit his ceiling a couple of years ago. If he takes another job, I won't be very sad because maybe the relationship has run its course and it's time to go a new direction with Rhule.

I think he'll be Penn State's coach next year because his stock has tanked, and it costs $20M to buy him out. So we are stuck with him. USC and other schools would be fools to hire him.
