Has Marques Hagans been fired yet? If not he needs to be. We have to be the only school in the country that can recruit multiple 4 star receivers and none of them pan out. His level of incompetence is reprehensible.
Has Drew Allar declared for the draft yet? If not he really needs to do so. There’s probably never been a college QB with so much NFL hype after playing as bad as he has in all but one of the most meaningful games of his season. But but but his apologists say, “he’s 6’4” and has all the intangibles and can make all the throws”. Ummmmm yea he can make all the throws IN PRACTICE! See ya Drew, if you’re smart you’ll declare now.
Hey Joe!! As far as I know, there have been rumblings all year about replacing Hagans and supposedly something is in the works. Whether that comes to fruition is yet to be seen. I can tell you this, myself and some other alums have been approached as recently as just before Christmas to see if we'd be interested in "helping" fund a replacement. I declined, some alums joined me and some gave what they could. I'm not about to give another dime to that university until changes are made at the top (CJF). To be clear, my contributions are not anywhere near what the CEO's could donate but there was a time where members in my financial situation pretty much carried the football program. I have a hunch your're old enough to remember those days. Like Thekid said a few days ago, many of the big boys (and girls) are hesitant to dole out the funds necessary to bring our program back to the top until wholesale changes are made to this staff.
A lot of the angst goes back to when Franklin showed Larry Johnson and Scrap the door without so much as a "thank you for time with us" message.
Also, our constant fighting with the BOT's is getting old too. We're slowly getting rid of the lame asses that rolled over during the Sandusky scandal and cowered in the corner like sheep.
Anyway, keep fighting the good fight. If you're ever coming to Maine hit me up. BT, I still owe you an email but my typing skills have waned. In fact, The Kid is typing this while Im dictating it to him. I've had better looking secretaries but he's the only one that can kick my ass so I guess I'll keep him around for a bit longer. Peg says "hello". Say, what ever happened to FT?? Also we had a Notre Dame fan on here that went by the name "culture thrives" as I recall. Is he still around?? If he is please give him my regards and tell him I said congrats!!
The BOT screwed JoePA and I believe gave the order to purge the staff. As a result, Scrap & Larry got screwed as colateral damage.
@rip I have no doubt that's the way it went down.
Also, don't be surprised if Hagans becomes Franklin's scapegoat and gets fired by week's end.
Sad that it is public the guy is on the chopping block but I guess that is the profession. That being said, based on the performance of receivers I don't think he should be surprised and he should have been looking for a year or so...
@tsuga Hey Hemlock! lol Yeah, I was thinking when the Kid was posting the other day. He's got fingers, he was on the cc list, between the tow of ya, you can surely put something together! Or since I'm sure he's busy, I'm pretty sure they have some kind of wizard machine that will take spoken word and put them to type. I'm even pretty sure my cheap $100 phone has something that will do that. Haven't used it, I prefer to make my own fat finger typos, although Lil Suzy uses her's all the time.
Give Peg my best & a big squeeze, if you would, sir.
Last we heard from 4'em Tighten he was worried about Trump making him disappear. Of course that was before we back doored into the B1G championship game. He's like a kid brother, a PITA, but ya sort of miss him not being there to annoy you. Hope he's ok.
Haven't seen of hear anything on here from culture, think he disappeared before you went on sabbatical. One of the few righteous ones that wasn't too full of shit.
@tsuga Man I hope you are right about Hagans! I think everyone here knows my opinion of JF is that the guy is good but he'll never be elite and I also feel he should get a lot of the blame for lack of QB and WR player development. He seems to always have a fall guy on his staff and it's pretty sad that they rely on your donations to help replace them.
I don't find Hagans to be elite or good. He's failed to get any good recruits, and the WRs haven't developed at all. Not sure what else a WR coach would be graded on.@tsuga Man I hope you are right about Hagans!

@roaminglion I doubt anyone on this forum thinks Hagans is good or elite.
