MichiganCardinal Posted October 11 Posted October 11 Franklin may not survive the year, buyout or not. That team is in shambles. Quote

With the win over Oregon and Oklahoma getting destroyed against Texas - Indiana may be #3 or #4 tomorrow. The Cignetti guy is 64. How did nobody discover this guy before now? And MSU - Wow, losing 38-13 at home to a 1-4 UCLA team And Franklin WILL survive the season - it would cost WAY TOO MUCH to fire him Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted October 11 Posted October 11 If Franklin were to go it would be after the season. My guess is Bill O'Brien would return to Penn State. O'Brien was a good NFL Head Coach. Then he became a GM too and well.............he should stick to coaching. Quote

Mr.TaterSalad Posted October 12 Posted October 12 How are we 80% through the 1st quarter and that is the first time Cup Chip Lindsey has called a running play with Haynes? Quote
Mr.TaterSalad Posted October 12 Posted October 12 What the ****? USC commits actual offensive PI in the first half and there is no call. Then the refs call it on Michigan for blocking a guy? Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted October 12 Posted October 12 I did not expect a win for Blue tonight and I am probably not getting one. But they should keep fighting. I think USC is kind of soft. Quote
Deleterious Posted October 12 Author Posted October 12 That should about do it for Luke Fickel. Quote

It was clearly an emotional decision. Ultimately it may have been the right call, but it probably shouldn’t have been made today. Quote

What bothers me is the cost of buying him out and how it comes from the state (commonwealth) of Pennsylvania, does it not? To have this kind of money to throw around, but to still have so many people in need. We prioritize the wrong things. It's just a stupid game. Thought about this after the Tigers loss. It pissed me off for a day, but really does not effect my life in any way. As a Michigan fan, I wanted Franklin to stay. Franklin is like Jim Caldwell. Has good teams, but can never win the big game. He has them prepped, but makes bad in-game decisions. There is a likely opening in East Lansing coming, MSU could do a lot worse than James Franklin. 2 Quote

But when they needed him to fill in - he did the job and he's beaten Ohio State. Wasn't the biggest name, but no reason to get on him. They weren't winning that game last night with a Freshman QB. When you have an 18 year old at that position, you're gonna have some struggles. Underwood hasn't been bad this year, he just hasn't been good either. He's been a little better than I expected. Michigan fans need to understand that when they made that kid the starter they were saying this would not be a contending year. But their schedule is cake the rest of the way. Washington, MSU, Purdue, Northwester, Maryland, Ohio State. They could be 5-1 right there. 9-3 might mean playoffs - especially when they want your brand in the mix. And if they could be Ohio State last year............ With Jim scurrying like a cockroach when the lights came on, Moore has managed well. Others would have crumbled. Quote

In a sane world someone at PSU or Harrisburg, or both ought to be broomed for that kind fiscal irresponsibility. ..yeah - I'll keep dreaming. Quote

Do rebuilds even exist anymore? 2 bad years at a program like Michigan is not really excusable IMHO. Quote

I will believe a Ryan Day coached OSU team will beat Michigan when I see it, ha (yes, I know it happened in 2019) Quote

IDK how much of that is completely necessary to be good, but a lot of the best teams have it. Quote
