Interesting that he's leaving but I get it when you stare down the gauntlet of BigScheduling.

 

On the other hand, why is it that JF's coordinators get poached yearly, but no one is trying to poach him? That is the one common denominator of the program.

Franklin has been rumored to leave just about every year up until a few years back. I think it's probably due to years of saying no, and his big buyout. Why even try, he's made it clear he isn't leaving.

There’s something fundamentally wrong with our football program if a coordinator accepts a lateral move to a lesser program. If he does go I’d have to say those defenders that are currently 50/50 about staying will probably leave too

@psujoe My first thoughts as well. Assuming he took a pay raise. Poindexter next man up?

Singleton is no longer in the student directory. Allen is still currently listed.

IMO I think it's a bit delusional to say Clemson is a "lesser program". They've won 2 national titles and been to multiple CFPs in the past 10 years. In what universe are they "less than"?

I also assume he's getting paid more, as assistant coaches down south all make bank.

@roaminglion according to Southerns bigdogometer Clemson would not qualify for big dog status and there is no way they should be able to outbid us for anything

Tom Allen contract situationAllen had a $1.5 million salary during his first season at Penn State, according to the Centre Daily Times. He signed a three-year deal with PSU and was set to make $1.6 million in 2025 and $1.7 million in 2026.
 
As of December 2024, here are some of the salaries for defensive coordinators in the SEC: [1]
  • Blake Baker, LSU: $2.5 million
  • Pete Golding, Ole Miss: $2.15 million
  • Glenn Schumann, Georgia: $2.003 million

  • Brad White, Kentucky: $1.75 million

Generative AI is experimental.

Singleton looked like he was gone starting about half way through the season. Glad he finished strong..

Reading it was more of a “cultural fit” his outlook lining up more with Dabo than Franklin. Claims money not an issue here.
