something besides a sickness or getting tired of the job caused this retirement if there was really $20+ million on the table

I'm guessin you are right - he got paid to step aside

Who is Penn State waiting on?
I think this is a REALLY good question because that has gone eerily quiet.  I think that either they have their guy but he is coaching a team in the CFP hunt and unwilling to leave during a CFP run or they fired Franklin with no viable plan and have struck out on everyone they've called and now they are trying to figure out what to do.

Good for him too he’s earned it and will do well. Great recruiter and great coach.    May end up back at OSU someday with head coaching experience. 
That could happen someday.

That is the only thing that surprises me about this.  As phenomenal as his run has been, I thought he would leave for a higher profile gig. 
I'd guess that's his choice.
take a lower pr0file gig first and see how it goes - gain some experience

Lol. This made me laugh. I stopped caring after they bailed on Baker and put all their eggs in the pervert basket.
I have brought up before - serious/sincere that a collection of dewds on this board would definitely be better talent evaluators than many making a living in the No Fun League. Jimmy Hasbeen has his head so far up his own ass he could eat his lunch again.Many times the Browns had multiple 1st rd picks in a draft only to see them out of the league in 3 yrs. It's like the movie Groundhog Day only it's not funny,it's infuriating

Feels really rough. They had two kids sign. The coaches who might have been interested may look at that and see "set up to fail" now.

like the hire for MSU of Pat Fitzgerald. Dude can coach ball, but more importantly think he'll be a good fit there.

call me crazy but I think Lane Kiffin will fall flat on his face at LSU. seems to me like Ole Miss was the perfect place for him. dude was a disaster in the NFL, at Tennessee, and at USC. seems to me like the smaller jobs with less expectations and media scrutiny on him is where he thrives. LSU throwing $100+ million at back to back coaches only to get rid of both within 4 years is going to be hilarious. a) bc it's stupid idea to think you can just throw $100 million at a coach and it'll just work- cause save Saban and Urbz there ain't no such thing as sure bets in coaching hires and b) bc LSU is a poor school in a poor state that flat out just doesn't have the money or obscenely wealthy booster base to keep doing this wild cowboy go for bust never going broke worry about it tomorrow spending. looming disaster incoming....

The thing is that if it was just a current guy issue it would be easy, fire that guy and get a new one.  

Somehow the Browns have mismanaged personnel for decades.  

I said long ago that a monkey throwing darts at a wall with names on it would make better picks simply because, statistically speaking, the monkey would get at least some picks right.  

All you can do is laugh.

Agree with both Ole Miss is in a nice area paid good and they're glad to have him. He seemingly has a peculiar ability for rubbing everybody up the wrong way. The Cajuns will probably bring alot more froth than ole Miss Fans should things go sideways early. However he's almost getting a blank check for procuring talent but I wouldn't invite him to dinner or Harbaugh or URBZ either.

And Fitz at least has a grasp on straight forward fundamentals,mechanics,techniques and is a Midwest Guy. Neither Smitty or Tugger before him covered themselves in glory in E.L.

He's a terrible person. He's not just an owner that doesn't know how to run an NFL organization, he's actually terrible at his core and part of his wealth was from ripping off small business owner truckers and somehow it all got pushed under the rug. Makes me sick. I have nothing positive to say about that dude at all.

There's some undisclosed issue sidelining the Ohio Bobcat HC.

For all my personal sadness at having Brohm leave Purdue, I understand it. He was going back to his alma mater. He was deeply invested in the Louisville community. He's got family and connections there. And the fan base loves him.

I would be surprised to see him leave, even for Penn State which is undoubtedly a much "better" job when it comes to being high profile. But I don't think that's what animates Jeff Brohm. Hell, has he even traded in his old 2004 Honda Accord yet?

if Michigan got wise and dumped Sharon, Brohm would be way high up on my personal wish list. dude is a hell of a coach. doubt he'd ever leave Louisville though.
