James Franklin Implies Michigan's DBs Are Well Coached at Holding
Full story here but relevant portion:
“They hold. They grab, they hold, they tug, they pull. They get called for it a decent amount, but they also get away with it a lot more....They’re gonna run with ya and be in your hip, but while they’re in your hip they’re grabbin’ your pants, grabbing your hip, very rarely is it the jersey because you see the jersey, they’re well coached at it.”

If we have to get that crew at all, hopefully it's for the Rutger game.
November 2nd, 2018 at 11:03 AM ^
This is actually an excellent point and probably what we will see going forward.
November 2nd, 2018 at 10:02 AM ^
So Franklin's brilliant idea to combat Don "My mustache will eat you for breakfast AND steal your girlfriend while doing so" Brown is to try and put a bug in the refs ear that Michigan's DBs are a little handsy?
Okay.

He is a douche. What is with this guy. Is he 20? Focus on your fucking game preparation instead of tweeting out Michigan and making dumbass comments. He is classless. Such a punch able face.
November 1st, 2018 at 11:01 PM ^
I mean, it's not really a dumbass comment. It's exactly what our DB's do.
November 1st, 2018 at 11:22 PM ^
Franklin's DBs do the same. He opens his yap about it because he's James Franklin. It's the yapping part that I think most people take issue with here.

November 1st, 2018 at 9:15 PM ^
He’s subtly trying to tell the refs to look out for it Saturday. Quite a bitch move if you ask me.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:16 PM ^
This is the kind of thing that leads Big Ten officiating crews to not call a thing all game long
November 1st, 2018 at 9:20 PM ^
It is really funny because he’s essentially saying the refs are incompetent for not catching our DB holding. Might’ve been a counterproductive statement James.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:22 PM ^
Hopefully so. Turn this into a physical game, just one more advantage for us
November 1st, 2018 at 10:04 PM ^
I don't think subtly is the word I would use.
November 2nd, 2018 at 1:57 AM ^
Blatently is the correct word choice.
November 2nd, 2018 at 7:09 AM ^
Not exactly subtle
November 1st, 2018 at 9:15 PM ^
He really is a great fit for that fanbase
November 1st, 2018 at 9:17 PM ^
At least we know he watches film.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:18 PM ^
That was from a grad student while Frankling was spending his time on Twitter during game week.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:18 PM ^
Just getting the excuse train going for that big l that’s coming for ped st

November 1st, 2018 at 9:31 PM ^
I see what you did there, "I" for Incomplete.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:21 PM ^
Much of the same rhetoric can be applied to Sandusky.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:22 PM ^
He's afraid.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:24 PM ^
I'm sure most PSU players would love to be well coached at something.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:25 PM ^
They asked KJ hamler about it and he said he thought all DBs did that. Lmao
November 1st, 2018 at 9:27 PM ^
He's not a fucking moron, unlike Franklin.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:27 PM ^
Is he trying to work the refs ahead of time...?
or just whining because our DBs have good technique and he's dreading it.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:28 PM ^
That is a slight to the M coaching and the M secondary.
November 1st, 2018 at 11:24 PM ^
And Zordich is a Penn State alum!
November 2nd, 2018 at 1:34 AM ^
Next he'll cry about us jamming them at the line of scrimmage.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:30 PM ^
Whatever. Part of me wants Harbaugh to go public with something similar about OL holding calls on our DL. But no, don't play that game. The high road is the harder to take, but it's always the right path. Leave the douchbagary whining to the douchbag whiners.
November 2nd, 2018 at 12:42 AM ^
Didn’t Harbaugh complain to the Big Ten about Michigan State holding in 2016? Didn’t he whine about the refereeing in the 2016 Ohio State game.
November 2nd, 2018 at 7:17 AM ^
In this context, yeah, the Michigan St. thing is hypocritical.
However, I don't recall Michigan DB's openly tackling the other team's receivers and getting away with it. So when it come to the OSU game, blow it out your ass.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:31 PM ^
I hate his voice and the way he speaks. Eat shit, you walking penis.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:33 PM ^
How do i change this GIF so it says Franklin season? Maybe put the murderwolf face on bugs.
November 1st, 2018 at 10:08 PM ^
Send up the MGo bat signal for Chunkums.
November 1st, 2018 at 10:28 PM ^
Make this happen, this would be awesome lol
November 1st, 2018 at 9:36 PM ^
He's such a drama king.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:38 PM ^
Any holding by our secondary makes up for the complete lack of calls going against opposing teams' O-lines for holding our murderface D-line. Every. Damn. Play. Any coach with eyeballs knows that Michigan's D-line destroys everyone and doesn't get calls their way, and those same coaches thank their lucky stars. It has to be embarrassing to the fan base for you to already be making excuses days before the game is even played.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it, you hack.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:39 PM ^
Strap it on and let's find out. Go Blue !!!
November 1st, 2018 at 9:39 PM ^
Whats up PSU? You guys used to whine and make excuses for losing after you lost. Youve graduated to whining and making excuses for why youre going to lose even before you lose now, impressive.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:40 PM ^
He’s right, and it’s the way most good DBs play.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:43 PM ^
Whenever you’re feeling down on your luck, just remember:
A major division 1 football program hired James Franklin to be their head coach.
Anything is possible and there’s still plenty of hope for you to accomplish whatever you want to accomplish and become whatever you want to become.
November 1st, 2018 at 10:26 PM ^
Yeah, it was weird when Vanderbilt hired Franklin.
November 1st, 2018 at 10:27 PM ^
and if you want to rail at the bloodymindedness of the universe you can remember that he has beaten OSU (once) and has a (barely deserved) B1G trophy on his shelf.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:45 PM ^
Coaching staff there have historically done a fine job at holding defenseless backs. I'm sure he's just politicking for calls. Beat Penn State!!!!
November 1st, 2018 at 9:46 PM ^
He can hold this L.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:50 PM ^
Hamler was asked about Franklin's comment and said something like "yeah that's what all DBs do."
Can't wait to boat race these fools.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:51 PM ^
douche
November 1st, 2018 at 9:52 PM ^
Fuck that used car salesman and the pedofile apologist enabling fans.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:55 PM ^
He Ain’t wrong! My favorite is when they pull the WR back to slingshot themselves forward. Classic Michigan DB!!!
