    Am i reading this right? They had to pay him $50m to fire him? Surely it’s not like footy release clauses where all the money has to be paid up front right…?

    yeah, not all at once. usually takes years

    money usually gets reduced if they take a new job though

    8 million per year. Don’t think anyone gets the full check upfront.

    Absolutely pitiful, emotionally-driven decision to let the mob get what they wanted

    They will regret this

    What would the justification have been for keeping him

    lol

    Was the writing not on the wall when he lost the single most winnable "big game" in his tenure as HC? Losing that game to Oregon, to me, meant that he was never going to win when it counted. Then he went and lost 2 absolute layup games to follow it up

    Given his history, how are those results acceptable and what has/had he shown that would make you believe things were going to get any better?

    No, it’s paid over time. It’s why people like Jimbo can sit around and not do s***.

    Not sure why I immediately thought of release clauses

    Usually Franklin could lose those games but still keep the recruits pouring in but apparently the recruits who showed up to homecoming was abysmal

    Hard to save yourself when the fans are revolting, players aren’t trying, and the recruits are turning away

    JUST REMEMBER AS IT RELATES TO JAMES FRANKLIN

    NEVER LET PEOPLE TELL YOU THAT THE GRASS CANT BE GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE!

    It can be! And sometimes you have to take that risk and go to the other side of the street to find out!

    Same AD who was at Temple when Rhule was hired there.

    Also Rhule played at Penn State.
