Nobody does post-game celebrations like James Franklin does them.
If nothing else, you have to admire the man’s consistency. He’s still a dick.
James Franklin was, is and will always be James Franklin.

Franklin’s a dick and everything, but so is the fan in this case. I just wanted to note that. We now return you to your regularly scheduled Franklin bashing.
That whole sequence was one of the worst end-game coaching jobs I’ve ever seen. It might be THE worst.

I’ve seen some terrible end-of-game play-calling in my life (thank you, Mark Richt and Jasper Sanks), but that was the most anti-climactic buildup following three consecutive timeouts I’ve ever witnessed.
LikeLike
Not sure if you’re referring to separate incidents with Richt and Sanks or one play involving the two, but Jasper never played for Richt.
LikeLike
Wasn’t he the guy Richt ran up the middle against Auburn his first year and let the clock expire.
Pretty sure it was.
LikeLike
You are mistaken. Richt called a handoff to Jasper Sanks after a long pass play inside the Auburn 5 in 2001. There were 16 seconds on the clock. Sanks was stuffed. Time ran out. Game over.
Sanks had 5 carries for 24 yards in that game. See the box score here: https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/boxscores/2001-11-10-georgia.html

I guess I was thinking Richt ran Jasper off prior to 2001, not 2002.

I actually think anyone in the stands could have called a better play than Franklin went with there. Mainly because you don’t have to be a football coach to know the right call is to put the ball in the hands of your best player.

I thought him screaming at the photographers “can you give give me a minute?!” was just as bad. Dude, you’re an insanely well compensated employee of the highest profile position in the state. Having your pic taken constatnly during good and bad times comes with the territory.

Having to choose between those two is a true source of stress. You wish with all your being that both could loose.

Not true. Saban, Stoops, Mason, Orgeron, and a cast of dozens aren’t, even McElwain. But Urbie, Franklin, Boom, Malzahn, etc. have consistently proven themselves to be worthy of the adjective, even at different schools, and to different degrees of “dickiness”.

I think you’ve got your subsets mixed up. Saban is the godfather of assholes. Pruitt and Boom fall under assclowns. Franklin, Malzahn, Jimbo, and Kiffin fall in the dick class. Herman and Kyle Whittingham head up the creepy weirdos, with Dabo right on that line. Harbaugh is a hybrid creepy weirdo-dick. Paul Johnson is the head of the crotchety old bastard crew, and Hugh Freeze corners the market on sleazy, phony asshats. The Urban Liar is in a class all his own- asshole/hat/clown, dickhead, sleazy wet flapping douche bag sociopath.

Yeah, the list could have been more expansive. Certainly, any list should have Harbaugh on it. Johnson is a dick, but irrelevant to me, just don’t care about him. Saban can be a dick (Maria interview), and most would put him on this list, but he generally civil and has a reason for all his positions. Control freak, but we have that with Kirby; I don’t consider either one that, but that is just me. I agree with most of his positions, and he always acts reasonable on the field. Just a minority opinion, I can see both sides but like him more than dislike him. Certainly don’t “hate” on him, doesn’t make me cringe when I see him like the others.
