"I would make a general statement to the class about appropriate attire without pointing fingers at the intended target. Maybe that would be enough for her to get the hint."
Not my profession, but I have to think that's about as bad a piece of advice that can be given in this situation.
James Franklin is going to run circles around the likes of GT, Louisville, UVA, and Pitt in recruiting. He'll be right up there with Miami and Clemson (who is slipping further down the ladder everyday).
Yes, why is it that sometimes the more women get dressed up/makeup/hair, etc - the worse they look? Most times, the simpler and more natural - the better!
Not only will James be coaching in 2026, it will be at a higher salary than his $8 million per year at PSU - probably in the $10+ million range. The idea that he would accept less than $8 million at the new place just to "stick it to PSU" is absurd.
