  • Again being fair here... because M fans LOVE to make fun of Franklin ... is James Franklin THAT different than Jim Harbaugh?

    Jim Harbaugh. .720 winning percentage. No B10 championships.
    James Franklin. .709 winning percentage. No B10 championships. 1 Rose Bowl appearance. 1 win vs Ohio State.

    Heck... even Penn State has a top 5 recruiting class for 2022. Maybe Harbaugh and Franklin are marginally different when it comes to their success at their current job. Beat Ohio State on Saturday and I'll have a different opinion about Harbaugh for his overall tenure at M.

    • Not to defend Franklin, but he won the Big10 championship in 2016. That's the year they beat us

      We went to the playoffs instead of them because they had shit the bed in a non-conf game agaisnt Pittsburgh.

      • My mistake. Penn State and James Franklin did win one B10 Championship. I forgot they were a 2 loss B10 champ that was left out of the Playoff...

        IDK... I'm hesitant to make fun of Franklin as a M fan. Maybe it's just me.

        Franklin makes some stupid coaching decisions at times. Doesn't takeaway from the overall record.

        • Frankliin ..... guilt by association.
          Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

            And we beat that team 49-10.

            Count me among the Big Ten fans that enthusiastically welcome this news. Franklin is 3-5 against Michigan and one of those wins was with his 0-5 Covid team. He can have that one.

            Franklin may be a good recruiter but he is among the worst in-game coaches I’ve ever seen. Honestly, I think he’s a clown.

            • That was also the year of the controversial JT Barrett spot, yes?

              That ended being a bad bowl season for the Big10. We got humiliated by Clemson; Michigan and Penn State lost close games they probably should've won.

                It wasn’t controversial. It was bullshit.

                  Its the main reason I rant against Big Ten officiating. It was a textbook case of lazy officiating.

                        And it was the least shitty call of about five whoppers in the game.

                          • Well, but in that game, Hannibal is spot on. Oh, wait, Michigan has never been victimized by incompetent and/or lazy refereeing.

                            • Jeff: It won't be a valid discussion until it happens to them at least once.

                              Then, it will become a problem that needs to be addressed and corrected.
