I felt this was somewhat relevant to the board. Penn State fires OC John Donovan http://www.thescore.com/news/896536 (via http://thesco.re/theScore_app )

I thought it was only 2 envelopes? Either way he is running out of people to blame.

2 envelopes does seem a little unforgiving, while 3 envelopes is more life-like and realistic. Like baseball, you're allowed 2 swings and misses. But not a third.

It's cute that they think the OC was the reason they couldn't run a coherent offense given the fact that is supposed to be Franklin's calling card.

I thought his calling card was beating up on the bottom of the SEC and evaluating the hotness of coaches' wives.

Maybe they'll move their DC to OC and hire Les Miles as the new defensive coordinator.

Well at least we know that next season we'll get to laugh at all the unrealistic coaching candidates that PSU fans will come up with. Everyone from John Gruden to Houston Nutt will be on it.

I think Vandy was the perfect job for Franklin. Being a climber isn't a good look for him. He could've coached for 20 years there, made tons of money and been loved for 6&7 win seasons while having a huge impact on a ton of good kids. This seems to be a terrible fit.
