James Franklin makes two-fold mess by talking nega

vallieklein — Wed, 31 Aug 2022 04:53:31 +0000

CHICAGO Penn State Dan McCullers Jersey s James Franklin is trying to get his program back into the upperhalf of the Big Ten East Division.He now has the attention of those three main rivals after comments made in an last month."They're not having to deal with some of the things we're dealing with," Franklin said, referring to the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. "Those programs as well as others know that and use that against us."On Monday, Franklin spoke about everything out of which the program has come. On Tuesday, Ohio States Urban Meyer and Michigan States Mark Dantonio took turns refuting those claims ofnegative recruiting against Penn State.MORE: I know we have a lot of reporters here. Everybody's got a pen, Dantonio said. But from my standpoint, I have not said anything negative about Penn State."I'll addre s that with Coach Franklin if that is an i sue," Meyer said. "That's a pretty strong allegation that I've not heard yet."Harbaugh hasnt responded yet, but you almost have to believe thats coming, perhaps via social media.Now we Rod Woodson Jersey have some Media Daydrama. Franklin created a two-fold me s, and he responded by clarifying his comments in an ."All I said was that every kid that we're recruiting is also being recruited by Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State and Notre Dame and that they don't have the same challenges that we have now," Franklin told Bruce Feldman. "Then, in a separate quote, I mentioned that right now we're (dealing) with negative recruiting. It was two separate quotes, though, over a 35-minute interview.It remains to be seen how much damage is done. Franklin spent Monday talking about how the program is still coming out of the aftermath of that scandal. Twice this offseason court documents reopened those scars from the scandal that cost Joe Paterno his job.Negative recruiting isnt a new tactic, either. A lot of coaches use it. Land of 10s Jeremy Birmingham reported, however, that the father of one four-star recruit said Franklin was the only coach who engaged in negative recruiting among those four schools. Thats Ryan Shazier Jersey another layer to the story. Coaches use negative recruiting. Franklin isnt the first if he did, and he wont be the last.Just got a DM from father of a 4* prospect. Weve visited (OSU, UM, MSU and PSU) - the ONLY person that negatively recruited was Franklin." Jeremy Birmingham (@Birm) Thats not the worst part. Franklin somehow became the first coach in Big Ten history to unify Ohio State, Michigan State and Michigan,the three schools Penn State is trying to catch.Penn State is 0-6 against James Harrison Jersey those schools under Franklin. The Nittany Lionslost by a combined 79 points in three games last season. They lost by an average of 19 points per game to those schools. Franklin said Monday this is the first year hell get a crack at those three teams at full strength.We're not comparing apples to apples, Franklin said. I get it. Everybody is looking for that type of win and those signature points you can focus on and say, that goes back to something I said before. This is our first year in a similar situation to everyone else in the country. It's fair to start making those comparisons now."MORE: Its fair to say Franklin will have all of those schools attention this season. Michigan State used center Jack Allen to score a second-half touchdown in last years 55-16 blowout. Meyer and Harbaugh would have similar responses given the chance this season. Franklin still has a chance to help Penn Terry Bradshaw Jersey State make a move in the Big Ten East. The Nittany Lions have a lot of talent, including a Heisman Trophy darkhorse in Saquon Barkley. Franklin spoke at length about this being Year 1 for this regime in the offseason.Theres positive energy within the program.Thats why Franklin shouldnt be talking about negative recruiting.

If you play, we're going to be in the position we're in right now.'"For (Shane) Buecheleto throw three interceptions, that's not like him those are touchdownpa ses that he launched. When you're playing the way they're playing and like they have to play for this coaching staff, and Ican see the frustration building. We have one to go getand we have to go get it and we're gonna go play."Itold them just loosen up and have fun. You have not done that in the last few weeks but you owe it to yourself. You put too much work into this game for thatnot to happen. Itold them,'The thingyou're gonna learn from this is you've been through a lot here you have had to overcome a lot of challenges. The adversity that's been here, somany obstaclesand you're gonna learn from this down the road. Probably 10 years Houston Astros Jersey from now you're gonna be at your job and things aren't gonna go the way you want them to go, but you've learned a lot of life le sons in this program from the short time we've been together and there a special group and Itold them, 'Iadmire you for hanging through it and staying together and being a football team.'
