Source: York Daily Record, Pa.迷你倉旺角Jan. 12--For Penn State football fans, going through a head coaching search for the second time in 27 months is an unusual position to be in, at least by Nittany Lion standards.So as York County fans welcomed Saturday's news that Penn State hired James Franklin as its 16th head football coach, local reaction hung on the question of how long Franklin will stay in State College.Here's what some local residents had to say.----Raymond Smith, a 1983 Penn State graduate, said he wants to see Franklin continue the work that Bill O'Brien started.But he hopes Franklin is different in one very key way."I'd hate for him to be another 2-years-and out," said Smith, of Stewartstown. "I'd like to see him stay at least 10 years."Smith said he was disappointed when O'Brien left after only two years."He preached loyalty to all his players, and (coaching at Penn State) ended up being a stepping stone for him," Smith said.Franklin is going to improve the game at Penn State, Smith predicted."I think it will bring us back up to Ohio State level," he said.----Bryan Fink of York watched the Penn State news conference Saturday afternoon.Fink, a lifelong Penn State fan, said Franklin expressed his dedication during his introduction. That was good to hear, Fink said."The first thing he said ... he told the people how dedicated he was in the past," Fink said. "I think his past record speaks for what he's telling people."Vanderbilt won 16 of its last 20 games under Franklin, and he led the Commodores to three straight bowl games.If nothing else, the $4 million a year Penn State will pay Franklin should keep him around, Fink said."I think I could live off of that," Fink said,mini storagethen laughed.----Mike Mummert of Spring Garden Township said people who are cynical about how long Franklin will stay at Penn State need to consider the times."You're not gonna have people staying on for 20 years like Joe Paterno and (longtime Florida State coach) Bobby Bowden," Mummert said. "I think this is a sign of the times."Mummert said Franklin seems "energetic, he's young" and will do a good job at Penn State."The biggest thing is gonna be if the recruits are gonna stay," Mummert said.----Tyler Klinefelter of Red Lion said he's been a Penn State fan since he was a little boy.He gets out to a couple games every year, and he's looking forward to seeing the team under Franklin's leadership next season."I like it, I think it's a good choice," Klinefelter said of Penn State's choice to hire Franklin. "He's a Pennsylvania guy."Klinefelter said people need to "give him a couple years" and let him do some recruiting, and the program will be stronger.As for any doubt about Franklin's longevity at Penn State?"I don't think that's gonna be an issue from him," Klinefelter said. "He said this is his dream job."Klinefelter's uncle Keith Groves, also of Red Lion, said people can say and think what they want about Franklin, but only time will tell."This is one of those situations when you have to have faith," Groves said.Groves said people shouldn't make a comparison between Franklin and O'Brien in terms of their dedication to Penn State."O'Brien was more of an NFL coach from the start," he said. "I think (Franklin) will stick around."Copyright: ___ (c)2014 York Daily Record (York, Pa.) Visit York Daily Record (York, Pa.) at .ydr.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉
