It's like he was ... born on 3rd base.

Think of all the chips Meyer would have if he was still kickin... er, I mean coaching these squads

What did this start as with James Franklin? Wasn’t he the Nick Saban of someone? I just can’t remember anymore.

James Franklin is the James Franklin of James Franklins

u/Any_Customer1000 Notre Dame • Land Grant Trophy Sep 13 '26

I imagine all of James’ Franklin’s motivational speeches in the locker room at halftime involve exactly these sort of pseudo-profound statements which, upon closer inspection, are just tautological platitudes.

If we were in the BCS era he wouldn't have a national championship. Michigan loss would've knocked them out of contention.
