Ferentz handshake

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

That was the coldest hand shake I ever remember in 18 years.

It was such an obvious "I hate you as a person" hand shake that it stuck out from his coldness after games to the few coaches that he dislikes.

That says a lot about Franklin when Kirk treats you like that.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

you got all that from a fraction of a second clip on tv?

And more.

 

[hawkbleeder]

Without a doubt. I don't think it was lost on Franklin fwiw. He ended up saying very complimentary things about Iowa, so it might have had an immediate effect.

 

[Row55]

Yeah, it was like KF couldn't get away from him fast enough.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Tons of respect for Coach Ferentz (USCHS alum from the Burgh)...didn't get a dismissive vibe from the very brief handshake, though admittedly, don't know much about his typical end of game demeanor. Regardless, both coaches were very gracious in their post game comments.

Great game Hawkeye fans. Good luck the rest of the way.

 

[MitchL]

Add Franklin to the list, then. Dantonio is already on it.

"Dumb".

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Kirk is human too. It was an emotionally draining game to the very end.

That's how I would interpret it, not a sleight against Franklin. I don't pay close attention to Franklin and PSU so other than the whole field goal controversy with them why is Franklin a douche? Honest question.

He's a salesman and he comes off as brash.

I think he has come a long way since arriving at PSU TBH and think his first few years were humbling. I will say this, he works his ass off and expects the same of those around him. I'm a fan but obviously jaded and it is always easy when you're winning. Guy put in a lot of work and effort to get them where they are though and I respect that.

 

[24 so far]

Kirk is an emotional guy to be sure, but I Guarantee that the midfield meeting with many other Coaches goes Way different than that one did.

He clearly does not care for Mr. Franklin one bit, that was readily apparent.

 

[hawkbleeder]

You need to know too that KF wanted nothing to do with Franklin at midfield prior to the game. He didn't waste time in moving away from him.

So why is that? Up until this game I've never heard many criticism of Franklin.

He could be the world's largest sack of crap for all I know, I'm just asking what you and others have heard.

Dude, he iced the kicker for Georgia State with a few tics on the clock while up 56-0.

I know. So other than leading up to the game this week, what else has Franklin said/done?

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

Looked like the got along fine in the pregame

Why is more needed? Having said that, Franklin also took shots at Pitt in DB'ery fashion (and KF grew up in Pittsburgh), so there's that.

 

[Hawkeye Dan in Storm Lake]

classliss kirk! ! classliss!! cant stand people who cant take an L. maybe wadsley should have fell down at the 2 insteed of the touchdown with ONE MINUTE LEFT. ugh!!t hen we would have took a coouple knees, ran the clock down, kick a game winning fg and boom we feel alot different today. 16-15 but nooooo.

 

[madmustang4]

This.

I'm leaning more this way. Maybe KF was just kinda drained and perhaps upset giving up that last drive.

Okay. Hopefully he joins Joe Paterno then in the 7th circle of Hell.

No...KF has always had a couple of words with an opposing coach even in the most difficult of defeats.

 

[hawkbleeder]

lol. Just saying the guy has nominated himself for DB status.

 

[luvmyhawks]

I'm leaning more this way. Maybe KF was just kinda drained and perhaps upset giving up that last drive.

And maybe he needed to take a dump.

 

[Hammer93]

Running up the score on Georgia State on purpose is going to rub some people wrong. I'm one of them. I think he has lost perspective on "sportsmanship". KF downing the ball last weekend at the 2 yard line.....he gets it (even though it cost me my spread in the game.....UGH!!!) My issue aside, it's simply not cool.

[Lonetreehawk]

Recruiting tactics, perhaps? Ferentz has shown underlings the door for allegedly bad-mouthing other institutions on the recruiting trail. That is supposedly a big no-no in his book. Any word of such instances regarding players we have gone head to head over?

 

[bigfridaynite]

If SB goes pro and he should before Franklin kills him off.Penn State fans will be wanting franklin fired with in a year. SB is a 1 man show and Franklin knows it and is very cocky right now

It wasn't so much a swipe at Pitt as it was how they approach each game. He made the same comments at Vanderbilt when they beat Tennessee. It not like he is making millions and has his son living in low income housing taking it from people who could actually use it.

It was disrespectful to Pitt to deny that any rivalry exists (which it clearly does with the fans). He communicated poorly then, like a DB would.

 

[scotthawk1964]

C'Mon guys, it was an emotionally draining game and that handshake was a mere seconds after the Hawks had just lost Franklin's weekly "Super Bowl", give Captian Kirk some slack.

Yeah it's not like any rich person should teach their kids to survive on their own.
How many millions has franklin donated to help people? Get a clue tool.....

Maybe ferentz is disgusted by pedophile state and doesn't want to touch the hands of anyone associated with such repulsiveness.

Agree. Without Barkley, that is a very average football team.

 

[Suterman]

I disagree completely. That was an excellent Penn State team we played last night. Trace McSorley threw a perfect pass to win that game anything less than perfect gets batted down and we win. That's a great Penn State team with an all universe running back.

The good ol Penn State we tolerate anything as long as we win attitude. Stay classy PSU, like your coach.

 

[Tim Dodge Rules]

Am I the only one who doesn't give a rat's ass what Franklin did at end of Georgia State game?

 

[JoelBittner]

Glad he hates losing to Franklin. I want him to hate losing to every other coach just as much.

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

Seems like it.

It says ferentz is a poor Sport. He is butt hurt because his son can't coach. Maybe Franklin should do the same and we will blame ferentz.
