I'm sure his agent will soon start to make noise about CJF being underpaid. What's the time frame for a renegotiation of a 10 year deal? 4 years? We will soon be there. I suspect that at his current rate of success, and certainly 10 or 11 wins per season is very good, that Kraft will decide the current contract matches those expected results, and invite him and his agent to come visit again in another 2 years.

In other words, Kraft will punt to them, and let them decide if they want to uproot and find a good job elsewhere. If they do, we are a great spot for a great coach. If not, then keep getting better results and maybe we will all be clappy as a ham someday soon.

The record is pretty clear that over the last several years, CJF has gotten everything he has asked for from PSU. And he has asked for a lot.
I have no idea whatsoever if/when/for what he might ask for more. I really don't. What would happen if he did? Past history says he gets it gift-wrapped and delivered. But who knows?

Tom Allen will make more this year and next than CJF. That buy out from IU was a nice bit of change.

What does that look like? As a Gopher fan, I'd gladly lap up those scraps! lol

On a serious note, Penn State may be better positioned to get an NC with the expansion of teams, and being in the heart of several talent rich prep football areas.

I know that close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, but at least your program has a legit chance. Especially with Michigan changing coaches.

Your evidence of this claim? I don't know what Franklin has asked for. He has publicly said one thing PSU doesn't have that has cost us recruits is private rooms for players. Last time I checked we still don't have that, so no, I don't think CJF has gotten EVERYTHING he's asked for or wants.

Doesn't seem to be a problem for 'Bama. Most of its players live in Bryan Hall, which are suite accommodations.

I'm hoping - expecting - that Kraft takes a stronger stance and isn't afraid of him walking like it seemed we were in the previous AD administration. He can find reasonable compromises, or at least offer them. If James expects to continue to be paid in the top 5 to 8 (not %) of all 1A Power coaches, he needs to get over the Michigan/Ohio State hump... consistently. Otherwise, being in the top 10% (not top 10) should be about right.
Just imo.

Can't say what Kraft might do, but it's not his call, at least as things currently stand.

In order to win a NC, you have to win at least two games against likely top 10 teams in a row. Maybe 3.

data points to date suggest that is virtually impossible for the current coach.
