I think it’s a bit divided, as it is with most fan bases when it comes to coaching you know.
I think Franklin has done an excellent job at recruiting and maintaining a solid talent base in the program.
Some of his Game management has caused me a lot of frustration.
For instance, a couple years ago when we still had Saquon. That team should have been in the playoffs. They blew two games in a row against Ohio State and Michigan state. The Ohio State game having a 2 touchdown lead in the 4th quarter with the best running back in college football. And They just shouldn’t have lost to Michigan State that year.
There was also the 4th and 5 run against Ohio State last year.
But I am ok with giving him more time to get over the top.
Fair assessment. Thanks for sharing.
FWIW--I've been very anti Harbaugh for about 2-3 years now. The game that sealed it for me was the Michigan State loss at home in his 3rd year. Tough game, driving rain. We had very sketchy QB play that year (oddly considering Harbaugh came to UM with this legend for "developing" QB's but we've had terrible QB for most of his tenure in Ann Arbor)
And for some reason we threw the ball a ton of times and lost to an abominably bad Michigan State team. I honestly wanted him fired on the field before the post game handshake. IMO, he's been mostly hype and very little substance.
All the "Who's got it better than us" and that bullcrap. Just go win some frigging games. Then tell everyone how good you've got it.
Offseason trips to Rome and South Africa. And we're losing 62-39 against our most hated rival. Incredibly frustrating.
I will give him credit, he finally seems to have taken his archaic claws off the offensive gameplan. Gattis is the guy running the offense right now and they are humming. If we beat Ohio State this Saturday then I will relax my harsh criticism of Harbaugh.
But if we get shelled again, on our own field, when Meyer is not even the guy on the opposite sideline, then there is absolutely no reason to bring him back.
Just re-hire Hoke. At least he was only making half what Harbaugh is making for getting his head kicked in annually vs the Buckeyes. LOL
ANyway, I digress. This is a Cowboys forum.
I want Urban. Bad. I think he would be an incredible hire for Dallas. We'll see I guess. Happy Thanksgiving friend.
