"Divided" Fanbase?
- Thread starter Srg111
- Start date
Ah, so you decided to double down on irrationality. Between all the flubs here, and in your incorrect contractual analysis, we're going to have to let you go, as a poster. Your negotiated buyout - a bucket of paint chips - will be provided to you on your way out.
Well not exactly one play. We needed to drive 40 yards AND make a FG. But if you want to call it one play away so be it. We were also one play away from having NEVER beaten OSU during Franklin's tenure. So there's that too.
The next coach may go 3-22 against top 10 teams. Can't risk it.
No biggie, he has us involved with 7 CFP in an alternative universe. "One Play Away" is noise-level delusion. Give the man some space.
One play away against Minnesota and USC each from missing the playoff last year.
You can wish the fanbase didn’t turn on Franklin and that his accomplishments were more appreciated, but anyone that goes to the games knows Kraft had to do this. It has become incredibly toxic in the stadium. If that type of fan behavior bothers you from your living room couch, then please take one of their spots in the stadium.
Jesus. What a stupid argument. There was no 12 team playoff so your hypothetical situation isn’t worth a cent.
When they expand to 16 or more are you going to come back again to rewrite more fiction?
give it up.

NEWSFLASH!!!!!! There IS a 12 team Playoff NOW, and under its CURRENT configuration, Franklin would have qualified 7 out of his first 11 years based on Penn State’s CFP Committee final rankings.
Just this month, Franklin has achieved a couple of records of futility that have not been seen in almost half a century. And the team collapsed at home.
Change was necessary.
If he loses two consecutive games as three TD favorites, give next coach 10 years? I mean, it’s only fair - right?
Yeah, it doesn’t matter. If NASCAR still had the original points structure, some drivers that have won championships would have less, so e would have more, a few drivers who don’t have a championship, would have one. But guess what, that is not the situation because it is hypothetical and not based on actual facts and reality. So PSU coulda, woulda, shoulda…didn’t.
THERE IS NOW!!!!!! IT’S 2025. NOT 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023!!! HE WOULD HAVE MADE IT EVERY ONE OF THOSE 6 YEARS!!!! 2024 THERE WAS A 12 TEAM PLAYOFF AND HE WON HIS FIRST TWO PLAYOFF GAMES AND MADE IT TO THE FREAKIN NATIONAL SEMI-FINALS!!!
Yet you think we will magically get some super magician that would have also qualified us under a 12 team CFP system in 2014, 2015, 2020, and 2021……at the very least????
So we get Matt Rhule. At Nebraska, he failed to make the Playoffs last year, and he would have failed his first year. That makes him equal to Franklin in his first two years. In Franklin’s third year, he had two bad losses, but still won the Big Ten Championship and went to the Rose Bowl. He would have EASILY qualified for the 12 team Playoff in 2016 under its CURRENT configuration, and gotten a Home game. He would have been a 5 seed and played Western Michigan at Home in the Beav.
Rhule is 5-1 right now with his hardest two games left at Home. USC and Iowa. He should be favored against Minnesota, Northwestern, UCLA, and us. Let’s see if he wins the Big Ten and QUALIFIES for the CFPs this year. If he does, his first three years will be on a par with Franklin’s through 3 years.
Then he will also have to qualify Nebraska for the CFP going forward under it’s CURRENT format in 2026, 2027, 2028, 2031, 2032, and 2033 to even EQUAL what Franklin accomplished in his first 11 years.
Good Luck with that.

Your argument is stupid and immaterial. Good luck with itTHERE IS NOW!!!!!! IT’S 2025. NOT 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023!!!

Good Luck with that.
of course, there would be some against the firing. That's just human nature...there are a lot of fans out there
"Good Luck" with our next Coach AT LEAST matching that. Pretty expensive gamble.
This indicates that he is loyal only to an individual, not the program. The lowest form of life, good riddance of this, things are better when the likes of him are gone.
Since it has happened only once in a millennium, very low chance for history to repeat itself. Franklin has been uniquely bad!
