Friday, Maryland Offensive Coordinator James Franklin was named the head coach in waiting for the university's football program. There could not have been better news for this team as it looks towards the future. James Franklin is the best man for the job, hands down. (This is of course a lie, but the is zero chance Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, or Jack Bauer would coach here). But so what if coach Franklin has no head coaching experience. The man has the intangibles it will take to take the football team to the next level. Franklin is already the best recruiter on the staff due to his enthusiasm and general care about his recruits. He is also a top offensive mind, as evidenced by the gaudy numbers k-state put up in two years with him at offensive coordinator. With him at the helm we will be able to retain the top talent in our area and hopefully build a conference powerhouse against the likes of va tech, miami, and florida state. I don't expect this to happen overnight, but like my other idols (Jack Bauer for example) he has the confidence in himself and the energy to lead everyone around him to greatness.
[Ignore the player he is talking to in the picture. He no longer attends this university, cheated on a pop quiz, and couldn't hit the broadside of the barn with a football. He was the football equivalent of Jay Gibbons circa. his last year with the O's.]P.S. The man also genuinely appreciated my congratulations towards his new contract. I've never approached the Fridge as such, most likely due to a fear of being eaten. Coach Franklin instead gave a solid thanks and wished me a great weekend. It's not quite a personalized Gary fist-pump yet, but if thats not baller status then I don't know what is.
