When I see Franklin have that John Cooper deer-in-the-headlights stare on the sideline, I will let you know. Until then, he is no John Cooper.

He hasn’t managed to amass the talent, so that’s on him. And while Coach Cooper lost several games where we had the talent advantage, we did have multiple years that were significantly better than some of the Ring of Pretty Good Year seasons.

I'm pretty sure one of the first mongoloids to respond said something like "Jay is available"....

Yeah hire the completely not-talented son of a Pedophile-enabler because his last name happens to be Paterno. That'll work out great!

Are you not on board with this hire?

The defensive line would surely hate to see Larry Johnson go, but that dude is not a head coach. Go right the fuck ahead.

LJ, Sr. is, like, 65-66 years old. Do they think every coach coaches until he's 90?

He's had it a few times that I've seen. Like when the flurry of time outs was happening on 4th and 5...

This is very true.

If you want to scream at the TV (i.e. Cooper) for a game played 25 years ago, rewatch the 1993 Holiday Bowl. Absolute torture.

You're going to dog on Cooper and you pick a bowl game that he actually won?!?!? Maybe you're thinking of the 1990 Liberty Bowl?

Go back and watch it. Yes, we won. Yes it was torture.

Quiet storm ran for over 2 bills in that one, no?

Well if tortuous winning is a problem, I'd better forget about most of the 2002 NC season.

I'm not talking about winning close games, or even winning games that we shouldn't have won. I am talking about the worst kind of coaching not to lose that was indicative of the Cooper years.

Ah. That's kind of a broader OSU cultural thing pre-Meyer though. The best example didn't directly involve OSU. It was the blowing of a 35-3 lead by Glen Mason against TTU that cost him the Minny job. Dude went to a 3-man rush and never came out of it.
