This dude is more than psychotic... he’s an asshole and a jerk and then some... he’s one sandwich short of a picnic
Franklin FLIPS OUT on his news conference
- Thread starter Hawkeyeinsoutherncalifornia
- Start date
Maybe I missed it but I didn't really see Franklin flip out. He yelled and rambled on though. Not a fan of the guy but I don't mind his underlying message of going from great to elite
He’s an intense football coach with a ton of pressure to win. I see nothing wrong with his message and I agree.
Grade A douchebag, right there. What a damn arrogant prick... referring to himself in the third person.
BTW: So no one is confused, they are a GOOD program. They are not yet a GREAT program.

My bad... I was watching the BTN alive and saw a segment where he was losing control and out of hand .. when I can get the presser I will post.. and yes maybe it’s just me and he could be super intense like a previous poster stated .. I will take the blame here where it’s due
Ferentz would certainly never get that animated during a presser, but I thought Franklin's message was great. I wouldn't want to be a player at PSU practice this week.
Sigh..........................can we please just beat this James Franklin-coached team and give him another loss that he deserves-

What was that comment he made to the sideline reporter at halftime last year in IC? Some dig about "not to worry, just look how we beat these guys last year." Total egomaniac dbag. Hope we show up in HV this year.
When he went after his fan of PSU shows his identity... sorry but I don’t think I have ever witnessed anything like that besides maybe in the WWE

This is one of his best ever! Maybe James really wants to check out these hot wives..

This. I’d be fine with Franklin being the coach at Iowa.
Does this fall under the rules? That pictures are required to see how well he follows that criteria?
So what's this douche bag gonna say when our "Good" Hawkeyes kick their "Great" asses Oct 27?

I don't think it was that bad. I kind of like the emotion and he's clear that he is taking all the responsibility......I think that's better than the coach to the West whom is throwing his players under the bus.
Sounds like he sees things quite clearly. He gets it. Very articulate. Hell of an assessment and a good plan forward.
Overall, I have no problem with that press conference. It is a little odd at times, but he's passionate and emotional and I personally like that about him.
One yellow flag in that speech he gave is twice he mentioned that there are some players that don't seem to care much about their class work.

Man that Franklin sure hates to get L’s & he shows it.. couldn’t he be a bit more graceful when he gets beat?? I mean just accept losing, don’t let it fuel a fire for you and the whole program so much geez!
The message is right on, a little redundant but he speaks the truth....We all know that when you push oneself through your comfort zone there is a good sense of accomplishment...
Likely a reference to three kids missing class during the week. Some are key in various rotations. By team rule, because they missed class, none of the three played.
I'm glad that I clicked on that vid. The baldy is damn entertaining -- he even confessed to being a psychopath and his intention to exceed his past psycho-ness. Franklin throws out the word "obviously" as freely and expertly as KF does "certainly." But all said and done (and I never expected this), Franklin comes off as a intense but pretty likeable guy.
I agree. And while I appreciate many things about KF, one thing I despise about him is his seeming inability to say positive things and be a bit more of a rah-rah guy. I'm sure if Franklin coached Iowa I'd say the opposite at some stage...
No, it's actually the other way around.
My post was wholly facetious and I was well-aware of your serious tone.
Oh and I disagree that Franklin would be a good fit at Iowa, btw. He most certainly would not.
I'm sure you'll disagree with me, but that's your fault.
Put a gun to my head and I'd take the gun out of your hands and pull the trigger myself, before I'd see Franklin or someone like Bret Bielema as the head coach at Iowa.
I'll die with my integrity intact. Thank you......................Friends?
This is laughable. It’s clear that Franklin, in no way shape or form, believes he’s the problem (that 4th down play was my fault, we’ve called similar plays in the past that have broken for big gains, but this one was my fault... huh?). His reaction to the fan who pointed out that he should have passed the ball on the last fourth down is a true indication of this guy’s character. This press conference was a manipulation, nothing more. I mean, really, did he just figure out on his walk down the tunnel that he needs to work harder? Or was he just trying to preempt the questions that were sure to come?
Amen CU... the dudes a nut job...! Can you imagine KF going off on the crowd or pointing someone out with a big lip shooting his/her trap? I don’t think so
