    James Franklin Is A Players Coach Like Tomlin

    But he has his team 2 in the nation! Beating the crap out of Michigan as well. These player coaches really suck!

    Big difference between coaching the NFL and college.

    Vince Lombardi was a player's coach too, but his methods were different and legendary. More recently, Nick Saban has been a great college coach that absolutely bombed in the NFL.

    A big reason for that is because he chose D. Culpepper instead of D. Brees in free agency. Brees had just come off of shoulder surgery I believe.

    Wasn’t Satan also the piece of crap that walked past a kid that later died and basically told him to suck it up?

    I remember reading that Saban was a giant douchecanoe to his players and far from a successful enough coach to get away with it.

    Technically, Saban wanted Brees; the GM & owner wanted Culpepper.

    That rift (and decision) was the beginning of the end.

    Ahh, I wasn't aware of that portion of it. Certainly makes a lot more sense, Culpepper was the flashier, get people in the seats, player.

    Tomlin is definitely a players coach. So was Bill Cowher. Players loved playing for Cowher, and he had a very good reputation among players outside of the Steeler organization, as does Tomlin.

    Guess player coaches only get you so far. Stupid coaching at the end playing it safe. Rushing 3 and prevent defense led to both scores. Running the ball 3 times in a row then punt. Reminds me of Cower and Tomlin so much. With that said James Franklin has what it takes to be a NFL coach.

    Penn State had an 11 point lead with 5&1/2 minutes to go

    With regard to the loss reminding you of Cowher's performance, "the Steelers were a remarkable 108-1-1 in games in which they led by at least 11 points."

    Reminded me of Cowher cause he always played it safe. Just ask Ben when he told him in the SB not to.

    And Tomlin lost only 2 games when the steelers led by at least 11 points too(2009 vs Bengals and 2015 vs ravens)!

    Re: James Franklin Is A Players Coach Like Tomlin

    THIS, is why I like this guy!

    “But make sure everybody’s clear, and don’t misinterpret this at the end of the game that I was running off the field, I would never do that,” Franklin said after the game. “I saw a few of our players running off the field, not going to shake hands, and we’re going to win with class and we are going to lose with class, and we are going to shake people’s hands and give them credit because they deserved it.”
    https://www.si.com/college-football/...-shaking-hands

    Its a gladiator sport and you respect the guy who's ass you whooped and who whooped yours. IMO.

    They choked BIG TIME the last two. I do respect him making his players turn around and shake hands. Class move.

    The players morale was down yesterday after the loss last week and Imo why they lost yesterday. Last weeks loss was on the coaches and this week on the players.

    I thought when the Steelers were not mentally ready to play that is always Tomlin's fault

    That 3+ hour lightning delay in closet sized locker room probably didn't help things either.

    Franklin is a good coach. He has that team playing well and set up to be pretty good for years. Right now, PennState fans need for the school rep to become shiny again. Franklin is a great guy/coach to move it in that direction.

    Tough to be in the same division as Ohio State - one side of Big Ten is loaded with Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State and Ohio State while Wisconsin rules the roost in the west
