Donovan - followed Franklin from MD to Vandy then Vandy to PSU, fired after 2 seasons
Moorhead - left after 2 seasons to be HC
Rahne - left after 2 seasons to be HC
Ciarrocca - fired after the covid year so Franklin could hire Yurcich
Yurcich - fired this year - we can poll the board to determine if he was a promising OC while he was at Texas
Which promising OCs career did he ruin?
Came here to predict that it will be a defensive game and the general consensus here will be that that both of these teams are dog shit because it’s not 45-40.
And then both teams will put up 40 in their bowl game.
So the board, which by design had no financial interest in the success of the company, was willing to blow up the company because of reasons they haven’t really disclosed in the interest of OpenAI’s mantra that AI “should be an extension of individual human wills and, in the spirit of liberty, as broadly and evenly distributed as possible.”
Them firing Altman and Brockman likely ends up driving all of the talent to Microsoft ensuring that the developments they make, rather than being as evenly distributed as possible, end up entirely in the hands of 1 corporation.
Brilliant.
OpenAI corporate structure The most popular theory seems to be that Altman was pushing the nonprofit research tech into profit generating products faster than was desirable for the stated values of OpenAI the nonprofit and repeatedly deceptive to the board about it. Microsoft, owning 49% of the for profit segment of OpenAI was, unsurprisingly, upset about Altman being canned, was pushing hard for the interim CEO (previously head of the for profit group), to reinstate Altman. /wildinternetspeculation
So the board fired Altman and demoted Brockman from president, who then quit. The interim CEO was supposedly trying to bring Altman back so the board removed him and hired Emmit Shear, co-founder of twitch, as CEO.
Microsoft immediately hires everyone leaving OpenAI.
There’s a difference between intelligently stretching the field vs just throwing it up blindly and hoping for the best. Under every OC Franklin had before Yurcich a significant part of the playbook involved stretching the field vertically, because of course it did.
The passing attack has made absolutely no sense all season. The blame deserves to be spread around. This is the weakest WR group PSU has had in almost 2 decades. Most of that is on Franklin since he builds the team.Some of that is on Cephas, who was expect to be the WR1 or 2, not knowing the playbook for most of the season. Aller has been pretty bad at times in throwing accurately, a mix of inaccuracy and wrong wr routes. It’s just a whole load of shit from Franklin on down to the individual players.
But when Klatt is regularly calling out the play calling as “pedestrian” and “unimaginative” over multiple games, gotta get rid of Yurcich.
Franklin has had 5 OCs in 10 years at PSU, 2 have been hired away to be HCs but this is the 3rd he’s fired. If he misses on this one it will be his 3rd miss in a row.
Thank fucking god. The offensive game plan has been hot garbage all season. Guy has a QB whose biggest asset is his deep ball and I can think of exactly 2 throws over the course of 10 games that went more than 15-20 yards.
Mike Tomlin used to go for 2 a lot on his first td of the game, when he had the offense to do it. If you have an offense that can convert 2 yards more often than not, then sure, go for it. But if you can’t, the analytics break down.
I’m just saying that he was mentally soft. Got hit a bunch and just crumbled. Contrast that with Roethlisberger when he had terrible lines and stood in there and delivered over and over.
The o line broke Hackenberg more than anything. Sacked 11 times by Temple. I watched Paris Palmer block his own teammate out of the play to give up a sack against northwestern.
