News to me that Shaw took Stanford to the playoffs in 2022.  Notwithstanding the fact that Franklin took Penn State to the playoffs as recently as last season (and making it to the semi-final), I agree we shouldn’t hire him, but it is nothing like hiring Shaw in 2023.

I was thinking more in terms of a coach that had good success in the past, but then his team went downhill fast.  But, I will humbly accept your critique of my comment.

Like BC said, Franklin had good success within the past ten games. Totally different than Shaw's slow multi-year decline. I wouldn't hire Franklin; I'd go for the hot shot OC like the guy at Oregon, because Luck is doing 2/3 of the work that head coaches traditionally had to do. 

Franklin was in State College for 11.5 seasons. I'm starting to think it is crazy to think you're going to get more than about 8 years out of even the best coach these days.
