it's good the players are mad when they lose. He needs to chill

I salute the coach. It's easy to be graceful when you win. Being graceful after you lose is much more challenging and is the right way to act. Sportsmanship is difficult to live up to after an emotional defeat. It's still the right thing to do. Franklin acted like a leader.

Win or lose players need to show respect and not run off like spoiled children, we don't need anymore Cam Newtons in the league.

Very true and well said.

I liked the move. Show class in victory and defeat.

Agreed.  I have generally found Franklin to be annoying over the past few years, but he handled two very difficult weeks in a row with nothing but the type of class I would expect from a tradition-rich program.

Funny how a coach who has a history of classless acts and comments expects his players to act with respect. This is the dude who iced a kicker up 56-0, and said “Beating Pitt is like beating Akron”. Franklin did the right thing this time, it’s just a tad hypocritical to expect his team to show class when he doesn’t.

what's wrong with "beating Pitt is like beating Akron"?
