Does anyone else LOATHE Franklin as much as I do?
- Thread starter SRD_PSU

I would much rather have Franklin as a coach than you as a fan.
Unfortunate that your "friend" lives in a world where the only options are loathing a person, or accepting mediocrity ("mediocrity" of course being ranked 6th/7th in a division with 134 teams).
He should visit the real world sometimes, it's a pretty cool place.
Mediocrity is 5-7, 6-6 or 7-5. 10 and 11 wins may not be elite or meet your standards, but it's pretty good.
Tell your friend not to watch the Playoffs this year because he's really gonna loathe watching Franklin coach our playoff team!
I’ll tell my friend Franklin couldn’t coach his co€k out of his pants!!

He's worn his well come out with me. I wish Jason Kelce slammed him off the ground instead of that phone.
I'd rather the highest of highs and the lowest of lows than this purgatory.
I also understand that it can be much worse, but just go get a Matt Campbell or something and save 3 to 4 million dollars per year if this is who we want to be.

I like James as a Person. He seems genuine. He seems to care about his family and his players. He has the right values.
He just can win a damn big game. He never will.
I teeter on wanting him gone and keeping him because of the good things he does/professes.

Post your life's accomplishments and then we'll all compare them to Franklin's.
One accomplishment is loathing a man he’s never met because he doesn’t win enough football games….so that tells you pretty much all you need to know about this clown.
How do you know he can’t and never will? All you know is that he hasn’t won most of the big games to this point.
Excellent post. He’s a fantastic leader and role model for young men. For that, he’s a terrific ambassador for our university and we are lucky to have him.
The frustrating flip side of that coin is that he’s just not very good at his job, at least in so far as what his job title says he is. For that, he’ll never reclaim the glorious highs our program historically held, and we’re hopeful that he’ll be dismissed of his duties.
From a prior post of yours ...
"I had undiagnosed ADHD, depression, and anxiety.
I took a while, but I finally got the right meds dialed in.
Through meds, newly founded release mechanisms, and the most supportive wife on the planet, I’ve conquered my demons!
If anyone out there has the ADHD (I have the inattentive type), please research RSD.
I’ve had prior handles on the old board, and I would go full nuclear, fly off the handle, full blown scorched earth, when the team lost.
Looking back on it(and not that it’s an excuse), it was my ADHD(more specifically RSD), that was talking, NOT me.
So(and I won’t tell you my prior handles), I deeply apologize for being a giant d$&K in the past.
I’m truly blessed to have the support network I do.
My point of all of this, is to bring awareness. There’s a stigma behind mental health. If anyone is or has suffered from any of the above, please know you are not alone!
If I slip again, I’d love nothing more, than to have this board as a leaning post!
My name is Scott, and I suffer from terrible ADHD-I"
Here's a more recent post of yours ...
"FIRE FRANLIKIN! FIRE FRANLIKIN! FIRE FRANLIKIN! FIRE FRANLIKIN! FIRE FRANLIKIN! FIRE FRANLIKIN! FIRE FRANLIKIN! FIRE FRANLIKIN! FIRE FRANLIKIN! FIRE FRANLIKIN! FIRE FRANLIKIN! FIRE FRANLIKIN! FIRE FRANLIKIN! FIRE FRANLIKIN! FIRE FRANLIKIN!"
Maybe think about revisiting those coping mechanisms and your mental health/ADHD meds? Relax and enjoy the likely 11-1 record and the playoff berth.
. Bingo. What an absolute clown. I guess he missed that Texas, Georgia and even OSU also have lost and Alabama has lost twice. Maybe he should jump on the Notre Dame bandwagon since their loss is to mighty Northern Illinois.Maybe these impatient haters should go back and look up how long it took Paterno to win a Natty and Engle left him with a helluva lot stronger program than Franklin took
over after the sanctions.
Sure. Name that coach that guaranteed it would have been much fn better over last 11 years? Key word, guaranteed!
For what it’s worth- Neil Rudel post on X
I am not in Fire Franklin camp -- he's built Top-10 program --but do believe he and team haven't coached or played their best vs. OSU.
Perspective on AP Top 5 metric: Joe Paterno went 14-33 vs. Top 5. Was 2-12 from 1966-80, an incredible 9-4 from '81-86 but just 3-17 thereafter.
Edit - apologies as I didn’t answer OP’s question. No

That's a "partly true" statement. 1968, 1969, and 1973 were undefeated seasons not recognized by the polls at the time. So State got good pretty fast under Paterno. It's a different game now.
Lol. I’ll take less wins over having a scumbag as HC.
Fire Franklin, let's be like Nebraska.
You are dreaming of things that never were ... our "glorious highs" took place almost 40 years ago (1982 and 1986). In JoePa's final 25 years, he lost 2 or more games 23 out of 25 years. He lost 3 or more games in 18 of those 25 years.
