Speaks well, presents well, look at his recruits. What are your
Non classy examples?
Speaks well??? Nope.
He’s the Mike Tomlin of college football. Inundate the audience with bullshit and hope for the best.
Scandals, badmouthing ND not being in a conference.
Not classy.
Sounds like a Pussy to me. Go Irish Go

and a major plus is that...
n.d. beat them in the playoffs last year. that's classy!
Franklin has baggage that VT ignored
His players at Vandy and Ped State were involved in sexual assault scandals. A player sued Ped state for hazing and
Macho culture.
Franklin is a jerk.
By your standard, every coach has baggage
Show me a single coach who has been in the game for any length of time that hasn't had players accused of something nefarious.
Yes, this includes Lou Holtz. That guy has baggage!
Holtz didn’t cover up sexual assaults. Nor did Ara nor Freeman
Franklin doesn’t get a free pass. that’s absurd.
Wish him well. Never understood fans' animus re Franklin. Seems like a good sort.

Interesting take. All the PSU fans I know admire him for taking job and winning
Disappointed in his lack of top wins but appreciated his elevation of the program.
I personally think very little of him based on his clownish behavior before last years semifinals and how he approached a sexual assault investigation of a player at Vandy.
I don't live near Penn State and the fans I know are pretty successful or military buddies so not necessarily the "typical" ie nongrad fans that Pennsylvania locals see.
Seems like a good fit

I was watching ACC Network early this morning and they promised Franklin a ton of $$ to buy players
Look for Franklin to follow the Indiana model.
