What are the 2 columns? Or, rather, what do they represent?

 

[24and7]

If I was one on the top of the list I would beg to be fired...

You would be fired anyway.

Good, then I would be rich... getting fired should be a job..

N/M, I didn't see the column titles the first time I looked at it.

My eyes are tired from work (I look through a microscope for most of the day at my job) and I tend to not notice things when they're like that. Sorry.

Good gawsh.... Clark Lee is N/A.. I know he is an allumni at Vandy but you're telling me he wouldn't listen to Penn State?

Sheesh...

Sheesh...

On the Penn State side, why? Franklin was better at Vandy and look how that has worked out for them.

A lot of good agents smoking big cigars these days...

True, Lea's been there longer but it is debatable what Lea inherited was a bit different.

However, I can see a fundamental difference in Lea's teams Vs Penn State. And Franklin's only win against a top 5 team was Penn St Vs Ohio State at home in 2016. He didn't beat anyone of significance as Vandy's HC unless you cound a #13 UGA

Come on down UNC!

If I was one on the top of the list I would beg to be fired...

but you wouldn't be fired because you're on the top of the list

Per the article, Franklin’s buyout drops to 1 million AFTER January 1. 48 million before December 1.

Franklin's buyout, the amount he would have to pay to leave, drops. The 48 million is what PSU would have to pay him.

Lol, read the comments. Lot of Alabama being mentioned by fans..... particularly Oregon fans.

And someone refresh my memory, did Alabama ever actually offer him the job? Because by my recollection, they didn't.

No. There was never even a formal interview with him.
