Does CJF need another "signature win" in order to keep his job?

In answer to your question no. He just received a large contract extension.
Yeah, he might not get another extension every two years, but he's not going anywhere anytime soon.
I don’t know he he needs one, but we sure as hell do.
I’d say we need a few because one or two will only tease us and risk pulling some with properly lowered expectations back toward believing in fantasy.
He started last season with two big wins on the road at Wisconsin and home over SEC Auburn. Of course, as Casey Stengel once said, he couldn’t have done it without the players.
Who really thinks that this team, which has gone 11-11 the last two years, can play any of Ohio State, Georgia, Alabama, or even Notre Dame and Michigan, and come away with a signature win?
I think there is a lot of talent on the team, and leave it at that.
We wouldn’t beat any of those times often…but obviously we “can” beat any of them on the right day.
He is what he is. He can recruit but his coaching results are proven to be just good. Faced with very good competition he will lose more often than not. If that’s ok with you I won’t argue. We are stuck with him and his contract for another decade.

Good question. I rarely visit the Penn State sites and I could not give you an update on recruiting or the proposed lineup for this fall.
It’s sort of like my feelings for the Harrisburg Senators. I’ll go if I’m gifted a ticket in a corporate box, but I don’t much care if the Senators do well.
When it comes to professional baseball I’m a Phillies fan. IDGAF about the Reading or Lehigh Valley teams. As for professional football, I have been a Packers fan for 56 years and that won’t change.
College football has died IMO.

S, but how many signature wins until the idiots in the peanut galley stop complaining about his huge salary?
I’d say he needs a solid 9-10 win season, signature win? Auburn and UW on road we’re pretty big wins. Cliff stays healthy? Excuses aside 9-10 wins is more important than any one game and win bowl game.
LOL.....he laughs at posts like this. What's his buyout? Perhaps the BWICAC can raise the money? 63 million + after this season.
Now that just might be the motivation he needs!CFP appearance and I shut up for five years.
Can't see him going anywhere regardless of record, PSU is on the hook with this guy good or bad for yrs to come.
Well they did go 1-1 against Michigan in that time span sooooo....
CFP appearance and I shut up for five years.
Franklin laughs at the CFP.
If Franklin gets good recruiting classes in a row, beats auburn 2 years in a row and the nittany lions reach the top 5 twice in a 3 year span will they give him a 5 year extension on his current deal or will they hire you to interview coaches to get the signature wins you want?
What signature win? What he needs are wins -- period. Then all of those communication majors (athletes) will have something to talk about.
A question? In your opinion or knowledge (broad spectrum) the upcoming Big Ten TV rights are expected to significantly increase the funds to each member school. Did our former AD tag much of that windfall to justify any of CJF's new contract and if so, how much? Monies diverted from that to the contract in discussion reduce monies toward facilities improvement, a desired/necessary component to a successful program.
Our former AD is/was not that forward-thinking. Other than that, your analysis is spot on.
I don't care about her one way or the other....but its a bit simplistic to blame her for CJF's contract. The Compensation Committee had a vote.
So if she had never proposed it, the Compensation Committee would have done it on their own? Or maybe they looked at the alternative and decided that the contract was the lesser of two evils.
Well, my point is simple.....the AD didn't settle the contract in a vacuum. The committee met and approved. It was common knowledge an extension was in the works for weeks, if not months. I'm looking forward to 10 more years.
Looking forward to ten more years.Isn’t another signature loss more likely to keep Franklin at PSU than a signature win?
He needs to part ways…enough is enough.
