No, just incompetent in all aspects of life
Franklin is Out as Head Coach
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
There is a chance this goes sideways. Next hire MUST be a homerun.I agree that this was the right decision, but I’m quite sad that it came to this. There are so many things CJF did the right way, it sucks that he couldn’t break through this personal performance ceiling he’s been stuck under.
I’m disappointed in Penn Staters who are treating this as a moment to celebrate. It’s an extremely lamentable moment. Feel relieved, sure — I’ll admit that I do at this point. Feel hopeful for what a change might (MIGHT!) bring for our program. But celebrating? That’s sh!tty.
Im wondering that also. Kraft may have a short list of realistic viable candidates already.
If the Rhule #1 candidate reports are true…
Never watch another game.
His record vs top teams is oddly similar to Franklin’s besides never winning anything of note. PLEASE NO PAT KRAFT.

Very excited. Maybe this team will be exciting to watch h again. For the last few years it’s been hard to get excited for a game against top competition. Franklin lost them all.
I hope Terry Smith can channel Tom Bradley’s Interim HC energy against tOSU.
THAT is a Penn State 1-0 for the ages.

You are being far too kind. He's a sick phuck.
The same handful of people are projecting their own shortcomings...constantly.
Im fine with it. They made an investment in PSU and want a return. Knowing they will support the school in excess of the brand deal may help lure a young up and coming talent.
Feel like this is misdirection à la when BOB left. Franklin didn’t show up on any lists for a bit IIRC.
LOL.... You'd tell 20 people at your intervention they were wrong and projecting their shortcomings because you have no self awareness at all.
He walked away with 49M not to coachI agree that this was the right decision, but I’m quite sad that it came to this. There are so many things CJF did the right way, it sucks that he couldn’t break through this personal performance ceiling he’s been stuck under.

He lost almost every big game he had in 12 years
He just lost back to back against NW and UCLA. With the UCLA loss actually being historical In a negative way.
But it's ****** to celebrate a decision that was overdue? He's not an 18 year old kid playing football. He's a grown *** man that failed...continuously. Of course people are celebrating.
I hope he has a list of realistic viable candidates but there's zero chance there is a solid verbal less than 24 hours after the game ended. That would be crazy.
Why? Addias pays the bills. Hope it is though I also doubt it
If only I needed an intervention. Sounds like you're speaking from experience.
I'm very self aware. I just don't care what idiots think about me.
Don’t get the plural with before recent losses part. Sure, being upset about the Oregon loss, but cause to fire? Everything was still in play (except perfect season).
Adidas may be assisting some amount, but doubt we’ll find out unless the new hire has PSU go on to beat Oregon in next years NC game.
You get an intervention nearly every day on this board.... No self awareness....
Unless they are hiring someone not currently coaching? Meyer? Gruden? Saban?
Stupid people lecturing me isn't an intervention. It's you needing attention. Like these posts
I don't know if Pegula would like us stealing his OC lol
You seem to fail continuously at being a decent human being.
Can we fire you as a poster and “fan” and celebrate?
True. Very true. But this season has already taken a swan dive into the crapper. Im glad they made a move. Something had to be done. The team, including Franklin, has mailed it in. Hopefully Smith plays whoever is expected to be in the 2 deep next year. In my opinion, he owes nothing to the 5th year big NIL guys.
I said this before, hopefully Kraft brings in somebody like Saban to help. He's one of the best to ever coach and has a pretty good coaching tree.
If you were paying me and I failed to live up to your expectations of course you could
Again he was paid 49M to walk away...why am I feeling bad for his when he was fired because of his own failures. That's part of coaching. If he wanted to be here then he should have won more.
Im definitely not expecting that either. Now that Kraft actually pulled the trigger, maybe more candidates will come forward. Kraft has a little bit of time here.
Why in the world would Saban up and decide he has a connection to PSU?
Not sure why a lot of people speak of coach Smith. He coached at Gateway high school and was dominant in Southwestern PA. But a lot of that success came from bringing in kids that were not originally from the school district. After he left, Gateway became mediocre because those kids were no longer being recruited in a sense. So is he a good coach, I am not sure.
With you, the final 2-3 minutes of the 1st half against UCLA was the “it moment” for me, let alone being down 20 at the time…
No but the thought that Penn State is vested in Saban and they are just going to hookup and pick the next coach is wild and disconnected.
