Franklin is Out as Head Coach
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
Don’t see how this will help. We just lost two more from the 2027 class. I guess the family thing didn’t apply to the head coach. The team wins 13 games the year before and he gets fired. I guess that’s how life is now with the internet babies that have to be heard every time they are upset. I am still a fan but I don’t expect to see the success we had with Franklin In the next 10 years. I hope I’m wrong.
Coughlin’s Law: “Everything ends badly, otherwise it would never end”
I could see him doing that for a little bit Jimmy Johnson style. But he’s probably too young to stay away from football permanently.
Franklin didn’t deserve to be booed off the field. He’s given everything to the university. No, he’s not a good game day coach, l but he was a good recruiter and face of the program. A change was needed, but I wish it hadn’t evolved this way.
Good. The coaching hire will bring in a lot of his commits and, based on what I’ve seen, they’ll probably be better than these decommits.
Agreed. There was no way forward with Franklin after the last couple weeks. However, the decision on who replaces him will be an enormous one.
That's his problem. He was given every opportunity to succeed to failed.
I hope for the rest of his life he regrets talking Allar into returning instead giving of doing what was best for Drew
I hope for the rest of his life he regrets the countless poor decisions he's made
I don't believe he will. I think you all have made him into something he wasn't as a person. He was beyond selfish.
Franklin strong-armed PSU many times with the USC stuff, all so he could get his way with facilities and compensation. It’s a two-way street
Hmm. I guess you forgot all the good commits Franklin got over the years. FYI. They announced at the game yesterday that there are 49 former Lions in the NFL currently. But what does the NFL know? BCS PSU knows more than they do.
Now you know why he paused in the tunnel and looked up at the stadium at the end of the game. HE KNEW.
Four-star Ath. Gabe Jenkins & OL Layton von Brandt both decommit from Penn State
Penn State already lost one of its previously committed players following the news that head coach James Franklin has been fired.
Ten year contract made this worse for everyone.
He lost to UCLA and NW after getting the DC he wanted plus helped get Drew killed. Booing was kind.
I actually would not want to see him at a Virginia or North Carolina school. He made a lot of inroads recruiting in VA and DC. His presence that close to PSU could impact our recruiting.
I’m surprised they pulled the trigger now. I thought they’d wait until the end of the season and use the time to get their ducks in order. Kraft would have had some cover while he got things in motion.
Loyalty ended when teams started paying players. I wish it weren’t so, but sadly I think expecting loyalty from players anymore is a fool’s errand. Allar was loyal and look what it did for him. It potentially ruined his football career.
Has any coach ever gone from one B1G right to another? Could see him going SEC or maybe Clemson if Dabo gets booted.
That's my point. Let's stop being unrealistic. Cignetti isn't an option. Cuban will match any offer
It makes a lot of sense for sure, but I think it is a possibility that he would look for a new beginning in another part of the country. Perhaps Oklahoma State makes a lot of sense taking a program that truly is in the toilet located very close to all that high school football talent in Texas.
wut?you pedophile lovers deserve to rot in college football hell for eternity just like your hero and patriarch
His age...
No major program is bringing in a 65 year old HC with his resume. He's not Saban for example.
Money. He makes $8.3 million per year and will certainly command more to leave plus with Indiana in line for a deep season run, he wouldn’t be available until very late. Plus, he’s 64 years old.
