Story HighlightsJames Franklin is a talented and coveted football coach, but Penn State should take a passThe rape case at Vanderbilt involves Franklin players, and it must be considered by Penn StateThe memory of the Sandusky child sex scandal should guide every move in Penn State athletics
You’re Penn State, and you have an opening for a head football coach. Your squeaky clean miracle worker, Bill O’Brien, just finished up two years fake oakleys in Happy Valley and bolted for the NFL.
So now you’re looking for another coach, an O’Brien clone, someone once again above reproach, because, after all, you are Penn State, and you still are just 26 months removed from the worst scandal in the history of American education. Not just athletics. All schools, all time.
What Jerry Sandusky did under the auspices of Penn State football was so horrible that one would think the mere thought of his despicable acts would guide every move by every person in a position of leadership at Penn State from now until, well, forever. For instance, because Sandusky raped young boys, you would think Penn State definitely would steer clear of anyone involved with that awful, terrible word: rape. That would seem to be a wise guiding principle for the search committee.
So, Penn State, who are you thinking about hiring?
A man whose tenure at Vanderbilt was marked by a rape scandal.
Penn State might make cheap nfl jerseys that hire?
Yes, Penn State. cheap jerseys
James Franklin is a coveted 41 year old head coach who probably would make a fine hire for any of his other suitors. Just not Penn State. Not at this time.
REPORTS: James Franklin to be Penn State’s new coach
BACK: Bobby Petrino returns to LouisvilleLast June, four of Franklin’s players were charged with raping an unconscious 21 year old woman in a dormitory and a fifth player pleaded guilty to helping cover it up. All five were dismissed from the team. If and when there is a trial, it will be Franklin’s former players on trial. One of the players’ attorneys was quoted as saying he wants to subpoena Franklin.
Whatever happens in that case, by hiring Franklin, Penn State will have attached itself to it. If there’s a trial and Franklin’s a part of it, Penn State would be a part of it, too.
Are Penn State’s leaders still that tone deaf to the way the nation looks at its school, especially its football program?Franklin, a Pennsylvania guy who comes from the Philadelphia suburbs and went to college at East Stroudsburg, has not been implicated in any criminal wrongdoing by investigators. And to be fair, he is the man who quickly kicked the arrested players off his team.
Even so, it was a terrible moment in college athletics, a black mark for Vanderbilt, for Franklin and potentially, one that by association will mark Penn State. Maybe Penn State’s leaders subscribe to the "misery loves company" school of management. How else do we explain this?
And that’s not all. Franklin cheap wedding dresses online has attracted other controversy. During a 2012 radio interview, he said one of the top qualifications for his assistant coaches is that they must have attractive wives.
