Ferentz handshake

Well, when the reporters become the next Penn State coach they can do whatever they like. Hell, if they want to lay down and let every team on the schedule score 400 points have at it. But until then, it's Franklin's team and his call. And I don't blame him one iota for the stuff he does. Remember last year when Penn State won the big ten championship? Remember last year when Penn State beat Ohio State? Remember last year when Ohio State was picked ahead of Penn State for the CFP? Franklin's not letting that happen again, and if that means pitching shut outs and running up scores so Penn State can pass the "eye test" than that's what he's going to do. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't care what anyone thinks about it.
Once again your using hyperbole to justify your coach being dirtbag. Thats fine, he's your guy. Go and shine his shoes for him and be his personal wiper for all we care. Just don't come here and make up shit, because not one thing you just said has anything to do with why PSU didn't get in last year. I say its crappy for him to try and block a team from breaking up a 56-0 rout. You say he won't let teams run up 400 points on him. Yea, thats the same thing isn't it? No one was going to change their opinion of PSU football if that guy had made that kick. But you know that, so take your lame excuses back to State College.

A fellow student-athlete at Iowa alleged she was sexually assaulted by two football players on October 14, 2007. Within 36 hours of the assault the victim reported the incident to the highest levels of the Iowa Athletic department. Including athletic director Gary Barta, head football coach Kirk Ferentz, associate athletic director Fred Mims, and a faculty member. According to the victim's mother all of these individuals encouraged the victim to allow them to handle an on campus investigation rather than reporting the assault to authorities

And what was the resolution of that case when it was investigated?

Don't know. But when you have multiple admins and a head coach trying to keep rape"in-house" instead of going to the proper authorities , it's disgusting. Much like most here accuse Penn State of doing. So get off your high horse.

Again your comparing apples to watermelons, but thats what you guys do right. That case was investigated by the police, and evidently they didn't find anything to move forward. Not exactly what happened in HAPPY VALLEY is it.

I don't care what happened. But let me bold this for you. " all of these individuals encouraged the victim to allow them to handle an on campus investigation rather than reporting the assault to authorities."

Disgusting. You can spin it anyway you want but don't act like Iowa is somehow above this type of thing..and I have not once seen anyone on the Penn State board throwing that in the face of Iowa poster, not once have I seen Iowa referred to as " Rape- U" and I probably won't any time soon. Because in all actuality..the game was played last night and right now... Iowa just doesn't matter.

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?

Could this be related to the team quit comments after the game last year? Who knows, but it was obvious the two aren't the best of friends and there seems to be a lack of respect from Kirk's viewpiinr.

Franklin has definitely moved into the top spot, for me anyways.

1. Franklin
2. Harbaugh
3. Meyer
4. Dantonio

I used to hate Dantonio, thought he was a d-bag until about '14 or so. He doesn't come across as smug since last year especially. So I'd probably take him off my list, there isn't a team I "hate" per se, maybe Nebraska and Ohio State.
 
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.
Could it have been Kirk really upset over an extremely difficult loss, not wanting to chit chat?? Besides, if Kirk is upset with something about Franklin, he should be a man and say it to his face.

KF has done this for many years and has great respect from all of college football so when he does something like this Coach Franklin did something that was not going to fly with a 1st class coach and I don't always agree with KF coaching he is always very respectful to opposing Coaches Win or Lose

Listen, I also have tremendous respect for Kirk. I just don't understand what Franklin could have done other than win the game. As I said, if Kirk has a problem with James, he should address it, face to face. It can't be in recruiting. They don't recruit the same guys.

I watched them talk pregame and they were chatting it up pretty good.
 
You all realize that almost all of these "penn state fans" have never been seen posting on the actual BWI board right?

I think you are reading way too much into it. It was a tough loss, and you don't feel like chatting after a game like that, I think Kirk has plenty of respect for Coach Franklin. Go Hawks!
 
So are clowns like you who tout BS and lies.


"BS and lies"....wow, so you're one of those folks who say that whole "child rape and cover-up thing" never happened. Please stop taking oxygen from the humans and plants around you who use it in a productive way.
 
I don't think Franklin cares if the Iowa coach likes him or not.

For everyone who is so upset ITT, you do realize that Franklin, his players and PSU fans couldn't give two shets what Ferentz thinks, right?

Good Lord. Are you all upset about Jewel's HR swing too?
This. Franklin cares about one thing, and that's winning football games. And it appears as though he's pretty good at this.

Also, the people in here who think KF cares 1 bit about Fanklin and his staff/team are dead wrong.

Yeah, it was like KF couldn't get away from him fast enough.
I'm sure Kirk wasn't happy about the QB's shenanigans at the end of the game and let Franklin know about it. That stuff doesn't fly with the Captain as I think we are all aware of.

I was one of the ones that said there's no way ferenz tried to cover up a rape at Iowa..but news reports told me otherwise.

Thats why I asked before for EVIDENCE! Do you understand the difference between that and an ALLEGATION? Nothing came of this allegation, because there was no evidence that KF was involved in a cover up. But keep trying to liken that to what happened at PSU. And you Nittneys should stop complaining about Iowa fans bringing this stuff up. Your presence here has drudged up all of this crap, and when your gone, most of us will speak on it no more.

Most people dont tell someone to their face that they do not respect them. Franklin is a smug, arrogant punk.

It was good to see him humiliated when he first came into Penn State and it certainly knocked him down a peg or two. But as soon as things started going his way he became the same arrogant prick again.

Kirk handled it exactly correct. It would be totally inappropriate for Kirk Ferentz to stop Franklin at the middle of the field and tell him what a douchebag he thinks he is. Only a moron would think otherwise.

Of course you won't see it, because there's a BIG difference between an ALLEGATION by a person,(which was investigated), and NO EVIDENCE was found that said cover up happened. If you can't understand the difference between that and what happened at PSU, with dozens of victims who came forward, witnesses in your own program who testified that they brought concerns to Joe Pa years earlier, then I guess you thats where we are. Good day to you sir.

I'm just believing what the newspapers tell me.
And I don't know about you, but if my daughter was raped by two football players, I'm not letting them talk me into keeping the investigation " in house". ...hum...why would they want that? Wouldn't it be the right thing to do to tell that Young lady and her parents to go to the authorities? But Iowa had games to play. YOUR coach conspired to cover up a rape. Thats disgusting.
 
Interesting how we can seem the same thing through different lenses ... I think the handshake was brief ... but nothing more to it than that ... Kirk was still processing (like all of us) the last play of the game ... I didn't sense any bitterness, etc., in the hand shake ...

I know Kirk had to be disappointed. I can't read anything into the shake, but he generally always has a few congratulatory words for the other coach.

And not true-neither the cops or internal investigation found that to be the case.
