This moron you are responding… last fall he had a post where he said Mike Tomlin should be drug by his beard to the top of the tallest building in Pittsburgh and tossed off…. His handle was JohnJumba…. Tom deleted the thread. He is a mentally disturbed nut
Yeah that is the posting of a rational man who doesn't have some mental defects......yikes.

You conveniently leave Bill O’Brien out of PSU history. He’s the one who came in a saved the program with the players who stayed during the worst part of the BS


Bs. O'Brien was looking for an exist as soon as hit hit the fan. Sanctions were phased in and out. One they hit the next phase O'Brien bailed. Year 1 he did not have to play any sanction players. They were on the bench.

If he didn’t come the PSU when that happened every player would have left.

O’Brien was there for 2 full years and he left to become head coach at the Texans. Not really bolting when you upgrade your head coaching position to the nfl.

He was also lied to when he was told that there would be no penalties FWIW....let's not skip over little things like that.

Calling everyone a racist all the time about everything. lol what a game plan
Calling one person is everyone now? How did you make that jump? Do you recall his comments as Franklin was hired? If you don't, how in the hell are you defending them......gee I wonder how. Blindly defending a guy without knowing what was said.....sure signs of another mental giant here.

Go over to the FFA site… the moron posts as JoeJohn there… you should see what he posted when the rumor was flying around that PSU was going after the BYU coach. All the proof one needs… but there are others that are political, DEI stuff. Ask Knicks and Phil’s Rug.. they will back it up!

Early in his career at PSU he beat the cupcake teams he was expected to beat. Later, not so much (eg NW, UCLA).

How many VaTech message boards are you currently following?
According to many on this board, every team he beat was a cupcake he was expected to beat. I didn’t know PSU was the second coming of Saban’s Bama teams.

Before he ever coached a single game??? Maybe you're pnny now...hard to keep track, but this was before he ever coached a single snap. It wasn't some huge amount of folks, but some of us do remember some of the posts that were deleted by that slob.
Never said that... you've been listening to BJmtnitwit and his fantasies.

Oh I remember his comments and the tone. It wasn’t vague or a mystery. I’m not surprised he’s still up to it either. That isn’t something he picked up late in life, this was how he was raised. Best to ignore his dumb arse.

Let's see the link where I disparaged BGJ before the first snap ever when he came. You can't because I never did. I supported BGJ at first until he exposed himself.

Did I see something recently on X I believe that big game james was already complaining about his office space at VT and wanted it bigger? Meanwhile Campbell had a large chunk of his office inherited from big game james cut out so the special teams would have a video room? If so what differences between coaches... We are seeing why PSU players are happier, PSU football alumni are happy and welcomed now back, the PSU administration is happier.

Actually OBriens first year included a roster of NFL rich talent. The BS was caused by the media generated noise. BOB would have screwed things up by early on demanding the players make an immediate decision to stay or go. He was persuaded to take a more conciliatory approach by Mauti and company. I'm amazed at how many fans here lionize him and ignore his loss to Ohio and Virginia that year.
He also managed to wrangle a new contract out of the BOT in what ended up being a two year marriage. That's something that is unforgiveable according to recent BWICAC rants.
O'Brien thought he would land an NFL head coaching job after the super bowl (which NE lost). He was being replaced as OC and Jaws gave Ira a heads up that BOB was available. It was a marriage made in heaven.....BOB was never about to stay at PSU. Not enough windshields in the parking lots.
OBrien had some huge challenges to face - but his situation and Franklin's were far different.

OBrien had to deal with:

The immediate cluster of the "open recruiting" of the PSU roster. (Thank you PSU BOT and the NCAA)
And he had to deal with maintaining program focus in the face of the daily insanity surrounding the program.

I think he handled both pretty well - and, as you said, he had a far better roster to work with than Franklin did the day when Franklin walked in the door (and part of the credit for having the better roster, in fairness, goes to OBrien for keeping a good number of the better and more veteran players at PSU)

There was no coach this side of God who could have maintained a quality roster given the NCAA/BOT sanctions that were imposed at the time.

Franklin had to deal with:

A hugely depleted, young, thin, not-very-talented roster.

But once the sanctions were lifted - which occurred a few months before Franklin came in (thanks to a few NEW members of the BOT, and some very perseverant PSU folks in the broader community):
Primarily the limitations on roster size, # of recruits they could sign per year, and the lifting of the Bowl ban.
The way was then cleared to replenish the roster, which he did, in fairness, quicker than one could have reasonably expected.

Very different challenges facing each coach. I think both handled their early years pretty well.

Someone said VT is the first school JF had been at that is subject to normal FOIA laws.


Well, if they specifically said "Freedom of Information Act" (FOIA), whoever wrote that is ignorant (or just trying to click-bait).*
If you misread the post, that could be another story.

So the post, if you are reflecting it accurately, would merit no further consideration.


The FOIA broadly applies to only Federal institutions (which would include the Academies, and that's about it).

'Virginia Tech is a public institution and Virginia's FOIA expressly includes the governing boards of public institutions of higher education within the definition of a 'public body.' Or so I read. Bottom line, they offer the strongest public records access of the three institutions CJF has been a HC for. Or is that wrong too?

"... they offer the strongest public records access of the three institutions CJF has been a HC for..."

That may - or may not be - true. And would likely depend on the specific nature of the requested information, and the specific State statutes (if any). Given the status of Tennessee's state regs, it is dubious if even on a state level such a contention would be correct - but that is another animal anyway (I couldn't swear to it, and would not have interest in researching it, but I think that was in play wrt the information that came out wrt Former HCJF's time at Vandy - but that is not gospel).

But, in any event, that is simply deeper information on the broad topic of access to information at Universities (free of charge). It is all irrelevant wrt what the post claimed - at least what you relayed, which I assume was an accurate re-telling - which is simply inaccurate and therefore not true.

laka is a bit touchy on this subject ever since he found out his self-proclaimed coolness no one else can detect didn't allow him to say the n-word with impunity.

After the first quarter of the first game?
The only reason he is acting tough is if you click on search....pnny isn't even in there. Hell he may have had 10 handles since then since he cannot control himself. He may not remember it as he may have wet brain or just blocks it out. Either way I don't care as I know exactly what he is....with or without the link as do a few others.

But he is fun to laugh at… my golf crew loves laughing at the moron. My one bud has all of his posts from the Rivals site. Joeaubie21…
