Vandy has boosters who sneeze $50M over 10 years.

This is true ... very wealthy alumni. Our frat house was looking pretty run down ... one of my frat bros ponied up 100K for starters, and the raised about 650K in a month to rebuild it. Scary money.

That sums it up nicely.

This was the best part:

That's how we get these petulant, churlish blowhards saying things like:

"James Franklin is a coveted 41-year-old head coach who probably would make a fine hire for any of his other suitors. Just not Penn State."

and

"Franklin has not been tied to the case, at all. But he was the coach when it happened and that should be enough -- especially at Penn State."

and

"Penn State football is still a toxic waste dump and the last thing you need at a toxic waste dump is a guy who had a train full of chemicals derail and blow up in his last town."

Aye, there's the rub. At Penn State, we're not allowed to hire the best man for the job because of something so insignificant it wouldn't have affected his employment anywhere else, because of an alleged indiscretion that has, obviously, been well vetted and researched and then cleared once again by administrators who must have known the chorus of idiots would start chirping as soon as the news came out. And it's all because of the ouroboros that is media outrage which becomes a spectator sport in its own right, feeding on itself until it becomes the story, until these writers become the story.

The stupidity of people and how they use a tragic event for their own benefit is sickening.

I am happy for them. Franklin is a great hire for PSU.

 

[LawDawg]

Thank you Franklin for getting Vandy to the next level. Let's hope that what he did sticks, and the next coach that comes in continues to build. I wish him the best. I look forward to PSU pounding the shit out of the rest of the B1G in years to come.

Radio sports report tonight said that Franklin will earn approx. $4.5 million per year as the Penn State coach. Yikes...that's a lot of dough, and would make Franklin the 2nd highest paid B1G coach (Urban Meyer earns approx $4.6 million annually).

Some skeptical folks are saying James Franklin is a bad hire for Penn State because he will probably bolt for the NFL in a few years.

Well, with the kind of dough Franklin is supposedly going to be paid by Penn State, I don't think he will be jumping to the NFL anytime soon. Plus, if Franklin is very successful at Penn State, you can be darn sure he will be given a pretty good raise.

Check out this list of NFL coach salaries, and you will see that Franklin will be making NFL money at Penn State...in fact, his Penn State money would put him into the top half of NFL salaries:
